I'm wondering about WM4000's.
I started them today along with a low GI diet, and I'm hoping they'll jump start a good loss for me since I've been plateauing a bit over the last few weeks...
Has anyone had good results with them?

You are all such an inspiration!! Well I made it to the 20lb club...I went for my WI on Monday...and down 21lbs and 21.5 inches total. 6 weeks of hard work, but they said I'm doing very well. What a good feeling! I can't wait to see what the next month brings :)
Congrats to all with losses, and to those struggling....things will get easier..they always do :)

:bravo: That's awesome Renee.

I know I should be happy with my 1 lb, but I am really discouraged. I just have to keep remembering I didn't put the weight on over night and I can't expect it to come off over night either :dizzy:

loss of 1.6, its been difficult switching to the bars and shakes program. Im powering through and hopefully by Christmas I will hit my goal. It was suppose to be beginning of November but the week of my wedding kinda messed up everything.
Way to go everyone on their losses and keep trucking those that are struggling!! you can do it!:)

Good afternoon all....Just wanted to pop on and say Hello.

I was sent home from work this morning upset tummy etc, came home slept for 3hrs, just had something to eat and now I feel crummy again...:(

I am not sure if any of you guys have had this happen to you YET, but at times like this when I don't feel so hot I have 1 co-worker that blames it on the program I am on, and it just about drives me nuts!! That is the first thing she says 'OH IT'S PROBABLY THE DIET'....she says it as well about the other co-worker that is doing HM. It is very annoying. Glad she wasn't there today when they sent me home!!

Amb, sorry but I am no help to you..hopefully someone can help you!!

Renee...WAY TO GO...you are just rockin through your losses!!!

Sunflower...you are losing and that is the main thing. I am sorry it is not as fast as you would like, maybe you need to change some things around, such as times that you eat your starches...do you eat them all before dinner, I used to eat mine at breakfast and the other for dinner when they cut me back to 2...now I do breakfast and lunch to get it out of the way. I find that helped me. Gives me alot longer to work it off before bed. Keep on keepin on..you can do this!!

Skimmy...way to go on the 1.6 loss. I am not at all familiar with the bars and shakes program, but I wish you all the best with it!!

Alberta I hope you find a way to get your appetite back....it is hard though when you eat all the same things all the time...I don't make alot of different things myself so I can totally relate to what your going through. My hard one these days is lettuce, I am finding I am feeling bloated after I eat it, it is either that or the cucumber, I have a feeling it is the lettuce though.

I know there was a newbie that joined us, Please forgive me but I cannot remember your name and I can't see your post right now...but WELCOME to the group!!

And to anyone else I missed...hope all is well with you!!

Gotta admit I forgot about that so it's remotivated me. You know, I still do think about weight loss 24/7, but it's sooooo much more fun now - ha ha!! :lol:

Laura...you are so very welome...glad I could be of some help!!

I still think about it as well 24/7 pretty much but for me especially the last week or so I have noticed that I have been making it more of a challenge within myself to beat the scales....my scales are pretty much the same as the ones at the center...so my motivation right now is to see lower numbers everyday...I am the SCALE FREAK here...and right now it is not a bad thing that I am addicted to them because they are my motivation right now...I know you would think that they always would be...it is really weird...LOL

I know for me it is getting more exciting because I cannot help but think how close I am to the 160's....I have not been there since I was a teenager, and how exciting is that..WOO HOO!!!! This weekend was a huge deal for me as well, when I seen a picture from the wedding I couldn't really believe that was me, I looked so good, you could see it in my face....I just feel like a whole new person. My husband questioned me last evening about this guy I was talking with at my cousins, I told him his name and asked him why and he says...HE WAS LOOKING AT YOU, LIKE HE LIKED YOU....LMAO...I said he is 25 years old and he said I don't care how old he is you look good and I seen how he was looking at you...LOL....I said for gosh sakes I am married and he is 10 years younger then me, he dates my cousin...he then let it go because he knew he was getting no where......but it sure is nice to know I can turn the heads of the 25yr olds...LOL The guy actually did tell me that I don't look 35, I look much younger, but I didn't tell the hubby that...LOL

DAMN I AM FINE....LMAO

I'll keep the starch idea in mind. I have not even been on the program for 3 weeks yet so I really shouldn't worry about how much is coming off. The important thing is it is coming off and I know the smaller amounts at a time the easier it is to stay off so I'm good :D

Way to go turning heads Better Life - that is fantastic! :) And congrats to everyone on their losses! I'm down again today - woo hoo. Want to leave the 150's so I'm pretty motivated. Loving life!

:carrot: That's awesome Laura. I too am hoping the leaving the 150's but you are closer then I am ;)

So I'm just curious as to how long everyone has been doing this. I know I am fairly new to all of it. It will actually be 3 weeks tomorrow for me :D

Thanks Sunflower - you're right with me! I started Aug 4 - it's gone by much quicker than I thought it would

Hey girls,

I started HM in May, and man I am amazed by the results! I'm so jealous of you girls in the 150's. Man I want to be there!! I haven't been in the 50's for YEARS...I was probably still in highschool!! When I started HM I had 91 lbs to lose, now 5 months later I have 38 lbs left. I can't believe it! 38 feels like such a small number in comparision to 91!

I went for my weigh in lastnight and was up 1 lb. I'm not too worried. Usually when I go it's first thing in the morning and I wear either yoga pants or my work uniform which is made of really lightweight fabric. Well lastnight I went just before a "girls night out" so I was wearing jeans and a nice shirt, had my hair done, the whole nine yards. Every single girl at my center told me how amazing I look. It felt so so so great!!! My favorite girl did my visit and she made me cry!! She told me that she was so proud of me and wanted to nominate me for client of the month. Totally made my night!

Anyways I haven't really been following the program 100%. Not really cheating, but not getting in all my food and water. Today I've decided that enough was enough. I want to be in the 150's so bad!!! I'm starting fresh today! I'm loving the new me!

Betterlife....still patiently waiting for pictures from your wedding you went too!! :D

Good job all you losers!!!

That's awsome Albertachickie! You are doing a great job. You will be in the 150's in no time. I had lost about 15 lbs on my own before I joined HM. I just find I can get down 10-15 lbs and then I get stuck. I have seen and heard of so many people that have done really well with HM and they were offering such a great deal when I signed that I couldn't pass up the opportunity and I had emotionally hit where I was ready to commit.

Okay guys here is a before and during pic....the first one was my BSE with Keith not the best but it is the most recent one I have to my start date...with the exception of my start pic...haven't had time to figure out the scanner yet.

So it was taken 2 weeks before I started the program, the 2nd is from the wedding Saturday night....I apologize for the gum in my mouth and the fact that I was a little intoxicated....LOL...we both were...;) It was the best one that showed the difference, the other ones were too close to my face.

If you click on the image it will make the pic a bit bigger...hope I don't scare you all too much....LOL

Looking good! :yes:

So I was down 0.2 lbs and had my first measurements and happy to say that I am down 16 inches :cp: To which I was told going down 1 dress size is anywhere from 10-20 inches so I'm very happy :D

Thanks Sun!!

Way to go on the lbs and the inches!!! Feels great doesn't it!!

I weigh on Saturday, hoping for a good loss this week...I have a good feeling it will be, but I don't want to get my hopes up either!!

Hoping to get the scanner figured out this weekend so I can post my beginning/during shots from the center. It is a wireless printer/scanner etc so I have no idea how to get my laptop linked to it....might just have to do it through his...would likely be easier!!
