Dria- How is Stab going? How long until Maintenance starts?

[ReneeM102]

Thanks Alberta! haha Its nice to know I'm not the only one who had trouble getting the water down. I asked today at my weigh in why cryltal light doesnt count...the only answer she could give me was because of the chemicals in it? 1 week today...total weight loss is 9.4lbs I know it won't last at that rate..but I'm happy with what I've got

Welcome new members!!

I weigh in tomorrow...hoping all goes well. Our 5 year BIG MEAL for work is tonight...I have tried to save all I can for food this evening, not planning on pigging out, but I want to be able to eat and not have to worry, I plan on having a couple of drinks as well. Heck I have paid my dues there, and it is free....LOL. As far as I know it is a buffet style meal with Chicken and beef, I will be eating the chicken, and likely salad, or veggies. I am looking forward to tomorrow's weigh so I won't be over doing it!!

I was told that I could have Crystal light by the girls at my location, it is 0 calories so why not? I don't use it too often but at least a few times per week. I find if my water is really ice cold it goes down way better. My water bottle is 24 oz's and I drink at least 3 per day if not more!!

I weighed in yesterday, I was up 2 lbs over the weekend which I knew was going to happen the way I ate We decided to take away my free exchange for the week and to get all my staches in before 4pm!! I just need to buckle down and follow the plan 100% then the weight will come off no problem.

I had seen on one of the first threads people talking about CLA so I asked at my weigh in yesterday about it. I was told that it works well to melt fat especially around the tummy, which I have alot of after having 2 c-sections!!! When she told me the price I said well maybe next time, $39.95 for 1 week, no way. I went to Costco and bought it for $16.99 with 90 pills per bottle. I'm sure it will work the same. What are your thoughts?

[Albertachickie]

Betterlife- Have fun at your dinner tonight and good luck at your weigh in tomorrow.

Wannabe- I also don't see a problem with the Crystal Light. Especially for someone who has trouble drinking alot of water. At least it's something. Is the name CLA out a Costco as well? Very interested in this!

[Wannabethin2009]

I will look when I get home to let you know the exact name, way cheaper in my opinion! I;m sure it will work just the same as the stuff from herbal magic.

[Dria]

OK
Its not that you CANT have Crystal Light. You can
same with Diet drinks and Coffee.... Why do they tell you it doesnt count as water intake?
Easy
Because it has caffine or aspertine or other artificial sweetners. Basically on this program if you cannot say the ingredients dont bother.

So by having a crystal light you then need to have an extra glass of water to flush out the fakies from it.
Coffee? Well need to flush the caffine out of your body.

I am in mait have been for several weeks now. Its going very well holding around the 116 -118 mark depends on my day. No problems But working there keeps me motivated. Cant tell someone not to do something and then go do it myself now can I lol


Wannabe.... I strongly suggest you take the replacement CLA into the clinc so they can cross reference it for you.
Remember that handy health history you filled out for them? And they ask if you take any medications or supplements? Thats so they can make sure they wont clash with HM product.
The good thing about the HM stuff is we know ALL those products work together safely. Buying elsewhere they cannot promise it to be safe with our products.
FOR YOUR SAFTEY take it in and make sure they get that brand cross referenced. Please please please.

And that goes to everyone. If you decide to take another supplement be it a multi vitamin or what not always take it into the clinic to be cross referenced its just not safe to not have it checked out.

WOW theres my info for the day
Great losses Ladies. Keep up the great work. Your inspiring to others

[ReneeM102]

Thanks Dria for clairifying about the crystal light mixes and the such....that makes more sense for sure! haha I'll just keep slugging back the water...better just stick with what I"m doing...it seems to be working so far
Funny you're talking about bringing up other meds with the councillors, long before I was on Herbal Magic I started taking Omega 3 pills daily...I stopped when I joined, and asked today about them....they are fine to take..I thought perhaps they would count as fat or something, but she assured me it wouldn't count as anything

[TLAK531]

When I joined Herbal Magic my goal weight was set for me. How is that determined? I would guess that it goes by height and your BMI? So do they go with the middle of the scale for your height. Just wondering if anyone knows always mean to ask but forget.

[Dria]

Tamara,
It goes based on your starting weight. Your Wrist size. And your height.
Then they look in the book and determine it by your body frame size which is actually determined by your wrist size. When they find that number you will get something JUST FOR EXAMPLE ...... say 113-137 or something like that. Then the staff knows anywhere between that number is acceptable as per the BMI guidelines Herbal magic has.

[ReneeM102]

Wow! Thats the first I've heard that! They did measurments on me, but deffinately not my wrist. They told me that me being the client till set my own goals, they don't do that. It must vary from each office??

[TLAK531]

Thanks for the reply Dria.

[better life]

Good Wednesday afternoon everyone!!

Weighed in this morning...was down another 2.5 lbs.....that is 3.75 since Saturday...WAHOO!!!! I am on a roll....for a grand total of da da da da....25.5lbs...gone forever!!!! And I am now......6.25lbs away from my mini goal of 177lbs!!

I am so excited!! I am loving the morning weigh-ins so much better then the afternoon ones...it feels like I am really accomplishing something by going first thing in the AM, instead of eating 2 meals and snacks...plus water, then weighing.

I still need to go back and read up, I ws just so excited to come and post my success!!

Also have to share that my 5 year dinner for work was last evening and right in front of the other 25+ people in the room, my Administrator speaks up and says We are all just talking about how good you look...what a great feeling. I also had 2 co-workers pull me aside and tell me how great I look and how proud they are of me....it feels so great!!

[Wannabethin2009]

Good Job better life. I am going to weigh in today probably this afternoon. I am hoping it will be down and not up, I have been so good the last few days. When I went on monday she took away my free exchange and asked me to eat all my staches before 4pm and I have been doing that so I hope I see some results.

[better life]

Wannabe....thanks so much...

Good luck today at your WI, I am sure your going to do great!!
