The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

I know some others have posted about this before but I wanted a little more feed back. Last night I skipped a book club meeting I go to about every six weeks. I had read the book and value these social gathers tremendously because my husband and I moved across the country about 6 months ago and I don't have any friends here yet. I am also not working so my social person to person ...

After Susan's post about how depressed we sound, I thought about it and thought "She's right". I WAS a lurker for a long time before joining the group and was always impressed by the support offered and the positive attitudes. So I decided I should add my story today. Here goes.....

I officially started the program on 1/9/04 and stayed completely and totally faithful for 44 days..... "stepped" off the wagon for a weekend and ...

Hello everyone,

I am going to start this off by saying, I am not trying to offend anyone. This is my feeling only. I have been having a really hard time coming here for support. I know I am as much to blame as anyone but, it seems like we have become a bunch of whiners! I am trying to stick with this program and I come in here and all I read about is: ...

Hi Everyone,

For a couple months I have been reading the posts but never posted, but about 3 weeks ago I had to fly home to be with my mother who had a brain anuerysm hemmorrage. It was the scariest thing i went threw waiting for her to come out of surgery.

Help! I am on day 5... and have been keeping the "hungries" away by drinking a cup of broth between shakes. The "Success In A Shaker Jar" book says they are unlimited, as long as there are no more than 4 cals. per 8 oz. serving. But I just read on the boards that I can only have 2 cups a day!!! Oh, Oh!!! I have not stepped on the scale since starting Friday... and ...

So, Tami, tell us already, how was the firemens' ball last night? My Saturday consisted of mowing grass, weeding, cutting my own hair, and bathing dogs, so I need a good night out story--and it doesn't matter at all whether it's mine or yours!

Maggie,
let me know how you are doing. I am thinking about you and wondering how things are going.

I noticed in my Quick Start book that the complete program is discribed as 5-6 shakes a day. Are most people having 5 or 6? Also does that mean that those on the complete plan do not have tea or coffee or diet soda, just the shakes and water? I think I may need a little caffiene or will it slow my loss? Mike? any complete program followers with an answer please.
Thanks,
Alison
