Hi - I'm Charla and I just started MRC MetaBalance. I'm excited to loose weight and keep it off. I know 8 different people that have lost 20 or more pounds. My goal is 40 but would be super pleased with 50.

Any advise or tips for this newbie?

Hi Gwen - Congratulations on reaching your goal! I too am going to MRC. I have lost 56 lbs with 14 to go. I hope to be at my goal by the end of March. Right now they have me on the Meta-quick diet to jump start my weight loss (I took the Holiday's off....). Good luck with stabalization - I have no idea what that entails.

Hi all, I'm Robin. I joined MRC in August of 2012 and I've lost 132.5 pounds. I still want to lose another 46.5 and hope to be there by June. It's going to be very very hard but I hope to reach my goal.

Hi - I'm Toni. I started MRC on April 8th & have lost 6.5 lbs. I've tried almost every diet around and lost & gained back the same 20 lbs.many times. I'm hopeful that MRC will work for me. I like the one-on-one with the counselors & the accountability of this program.

Hello, hello! My name is Jessica and I joined MRC February 4th - it's been a roller-coaster of a few weeks, but here's to getting back on track! I lost 2 lbs during the pre-conditioning week, reached the 10 lbs goal, but have gained back nearly half of what I've lost in the past few weeks.

Felt the food journal was getting a bit mundane and hadn't been using it, but here I am on MFP hoping it'll bring me back to speed.

Cheers!

Hi everyone! I just started my first day with MRC this morning and am in day one of my pre-conditioning week, I am so beyond excited to be doing this for myself! I haven't always been as big as I am now, but I have always had extra weight. After I had both of my kiddos, C-section for both, I really packed on the weight. My youngest was born in 2007 and since then I have had very sedentary office jobs. Call centers, working from home, banks, now I work front desk for a hospital, so exercise isn't something that I get regularly. When I am not working, I am at school and then home taking care of house and home, it seems there is never enough time for exercise and grabbing take out on the way home has become the "norm". I am now at my largest weight ever, 314lbs and I am so disgusted with myself. I have a big personality and I am ready to have the confidence I very much deserve. I am excited for this journey, I know it will be challenging and that is fine. I am willing to do anything as long as I can avoid surgery. I am looking for support for sure. So if you would like, please friend request me and lets help each other. We deserve the best life possible! Thanks and I look forward to sharing in each other's success!

Went in on Saturday morning 10/8, down a few lbs. I plan to go in tonight after work. Had a wedding on Saturday evening, they served a lot of veges but some were in a vinaigrette and the other was in a marinara sauce. But didn't take any cake or large portions. Water intake is at around 80 oz a day. I still have my 30 oz diet coke first thing in the morning but much better than before at over 120 oz. I get a 15-20 walk in each morning in addition to the walking I do at work. I want to get that walk in with ease, then move up.
