Topic: Disappointing weigh in today........
I was sooooo disappointed today. I had bragged about staying on program this weekend, and not cheating. Well, I went to weigh in, and I was only down ½ a pound..... What a let down!! They kept telling me it was ok, it was a loss, and so we took my blood pressure. It was the lowest it's been since June!! I am actually taking 1 blood pressure pill every other day now, and will stop taking them next week to see if I can do without them. I am excited about that. Also, my fat percentage was down 1%. So, I guess I shouldn't be disappointed, but I was hoping for at least a 2lb loss. The girls said "Sherri, you traveled, you stayed on program, you passed up desserts. You are doing great!! You may even be retaining water from traveling. Stop beating yourself up!" I weighed in last Thursday and was down 2 1/2 pounds, so I really wanted another good weigh in. They reminded me we weigh in twice a week, and to drink lots of water, because when we travel, we tend to retain water. I know I didn't get my normal 120oz I usually get a day. Maybe being back home will help...... So, I'm hoping for a better weigh in Thursday.
Sorry for whining, I know I should be happy with any loss at all, but I felt so good about staying on the program and even measuring everything. I felt today like a failure. I'm working out, walking, doing ab lounge, measuring food, drinking 4 protein drinks a day, and taking the herbs & vitamins they prescribed. Could I be at another plateau?
Thanks for listening everyone.... Sorry to be such a downer.

Sherri, that is such good news!!! You are doing great!! Keep it up!!! 
It is great your hubby and son are getting in on it too.. it makes it easier for you! Yes, it is unfair that men in general tend to lose weight faster then women.. why is that??
I agree about the fat free dressings, I have never been able to tolerate them, there is a sweetness or aftertaste I can't quite put my finger on, but whatever it is YUCK 
A change in lifestyle is what we all need, it is great uyou have found one that you can follow and enjoy.. that is key to sticking with it
You can ramble to us anytime!!! Good or bad, we are always here for you!!! 
keep us posted

I am finally losing!! I was 185 when I joined metabolic Research, and yesterday I was 177!! I'm not going crazy like I thought I would. I've stopped obessing about food and what I will eat the next meal, while I'm getting up from the table from eating one meal! 
I am finally seeing a jump in my energy too. I think I've finally found a program that is going to be right for me. If I don't like something they suggest, we find something else to try, and I can count on them to be there if I encounter a bump in the road. I about had a cow last week because I went somewhere and ordered a salad with grilled chicken. (We all know grilled chicken is fine, right???) 
Well, girl.... when I weighed in 2 days later, I was up 1 pound!!! We went over my list of everything I've put in my mouth, and guess what???? Mexican resturants marinated their chicken in BUTTER for 24 hours before cooking it! 
Not only high in fat, but high in sodium to help us hold onto tha****er!! So, for 2 days afterwards, I drank 120ounces of water, and drank 4 high nutrient supplement drinks a day, no breads! It worked because when I went in yesterday, I was down from 180 (with that pound I had put on) to 177.
I appreciate you asking and letting me ramble on.

Sherri Topic: Finally losing!!
Well, it's finally happening. I'm losing! When I began the week before Thanksgiving I was 185. Yesterday, I was 177! I was also able to fit into some pants that I haven't worn in 6 months. I'm doing my ab-lounge everyday. I am in moderate to heavy ketosis, so my body is doing what it should. It's burning it's own fat. I'm not hungry, not craving anything. The only thing I've had a hard time with is the salad dressings! I'm just not a fat-free dressing person, and Metabolic Research dressing is not that great, but there is not as much in their packages as what I like on my salads. I've started using cider vinegar mixed with olive oil, and a little seasoning to have for the salad. They said that's fine. I'm also going on 13 days now with NO CAFFIENE, and 18 days with no diet cokes/pepsi's, and 10 days with no Diet Rites. I can have diet rites, because they are the only soda with no sodium, no caffiene and made with splenda. But, I'm believing I'm doing better now without them, because my body has no aids at all to digest the food. It has to work itself. Carbonated drinks breakdown the food, and take away the good nutrients.
I'm eating better, and so is my husband & son! My husband has kind of gotten back on this no carb thing, and is down 5 pounds in 2 weeks. It's so easy for him to drop off the weight. I have to fight and fight! It's okay though, I'm learning a whole new lifestyle and eating pattern, and loving it so far.
Thanks for letting me ramble. I love you guys, and hadn't posted any updates in awhile. I didn't want to start posting and then fail!

Sherri Topic: RE: people drive me nuts!!!
Yes, you have to love these crazy people who have no clue where one accident is... cell phones are great, but everyone and their brother doesn't need to call in the same incident...
The cops around here are just as bad as the publici in their thinking our crystal ball is working.. our is temporarily out of order !!!

You gotta love people like that... managers running to the scene before police get there, and not having a clue what is going on or who they are looking for! they don't think about their safety! Why don't people have the common sense to call 911 first, then the manager!! or one call 911, someone else the manager...
Topic: RE: Holiday goodies????
evil brownies!!! I am not sure I could resist... I avoid certain places just in case. It is so hard sometimes, knowing you want something, but not being able to have it.. but I gues in the end, once we get all thin and healthy it willbe well worth it!!! I just hope we get lots and lots of fruit baskets this year!!! ( but I know it will be junk, junk, junk) I guess these people don't think, sedentary job, junk food, bad mix hahaha
