Day 9 of Releana and the official weigh-in at the Dr's office....
So the hunger is finally subsiding a bit. But I've had to scarf a tomato or some cucumber slices a time or two, just to keep from hurting my children. I protect my food like an inmate. I cooked some shrimp on the George Foreman grill last night and my sweet little 5 year old daughter says "Mommy can I have one of your shrimps?" Poor girl, I hope I didn't scar her for life. Even my husband is defending my portions. "Sweetie, you can't eat one of mommy's 8 shrimp, that's all she gets..."
Ok, so on to the good stuff.
My doc says I can come in as often as I'd like to weigh-in. The pull my chart, update my info. It all feels very legit. And this way, I feel like I'm really getting my money's worth! So, during my consultation I weighed-in at 134.6lbs......and today....drum roll please........126.6lbs!!!!
Whoo hooo! 8 lbs!!! Whooo HOOO!

I started the diet on Sat Oct 31, 2009 and have been on diet 5 days and have loss 6 lbs in 5 days. I am not hungry, I have not craved sweets, and I have followed diet as told. My clothes feel so good on for a change. I have been chewing a lot of sugar free gum. That may also have helped.

GM Everyone,
Weighed int his morning at 155.1. I'll take it. Hi Jennifer. Welcome. You can definitely do it. I don't have a set menu plan but I can share what I do. Normally on sundays I measure out my chicken breast and some lean beef or fish and I take the allowed vegetables and steam the veggies. I season and cook the meat on my grill pan or in the oven following the directions of not using any oils only non-stick cooking spray and I put all my meals for the week and saturday in containers so in the evening I just cook for my husband and take my food out and microwave. This is helpful so I never have to think to hard about what I'm going eat. All my meals are prepared ahead of time. It doesn't take a long time to prepare them because it's so basic. I work so this also helps because I prepare my lunches and dinners for this week. It doesn't take more than 40 minutes. For me knowing that I have food prepared has been wonderful. When I'm in a crunch I have to eat out I eat a salad no dressing, cheese, croutons, etc. and I have that with grilled chicken.

- Thanks Claudia! I know what you mean, Halloween was the hardest for me. It's a friends birthday and there is always a big party with cake, brownies, and so much candy. I just kept reminding myself that I'm wearing jeans that I haven't been able to get into in a long time, and they're now getting big. I think you've earned "super star" status- whoo hoo!!!

Hello all!
Today is the 8th day of maintenance for me after 31 days on Releana. So far so good, I weighed in at 149.8 this morning. Down 4.4 lbs since going off the drops and 25.8lbs so far. Only a little over 14lbs to my goal weight. So glad that I haven't cheated at all, even at parties and get togethers, it has been so worth it!
Way to go Claudia!
Tonia- I know you can do it!
Stay strong everyone! Have a fantastic day!

GM, every one sounds like we are all going back to the samething, Im trying really hard after 2 weeks on my 2nd round of Relena 152-157lbs. This morning i am at 150 lbs! YAY...
Tonia I am sure you can do it!
Carol Im with you, i've been on the Relena for about 1 month 1/2 and have only lost 27lbs I was hoping for more but 27 is 27 and im down to a size 10 from a size 14-15 so keep up the good work.
Donna I was doing the samething thinking it was not going to do any effect on me and trust me it sure did. so stay away from all of that!

GM All,
I weighed in this morning and now I'm back to 155.9. That's okay with me. I 'm hoping to see 150 by my B-day on the 14th. That would be the best present ever. Anyway I'm glad to see everyone is bouncing back after a stray or two. I haven't strayed but I wanted to give myself Thanksgiving day and the day after possibly. I have guest coming so I don't want to get into the whole Releana thing. Do you think it's best if I discontinue the drops on Thanksgiving. I was going to discontinue the drops Monday before thanksgiving and eat a normal diet on Thanksgiving Day and the day after and continue the drops on Saturday. Let me know what you think?

Hi everyone,
I did stray a bit on my weekend trip to KC. I couldn't bypass a couple of Starbucks skinny mochas plus I had a few other items at restaurants, although I tried to keep everything low fat. I found out having sugar whetted my appetite for more sugar so when I got home I attacked a bag or fresh, chewy, Tootsie Rolls. I weighed in at 200.0 this am. I'm back on the wagon today, & following the diet again.
Losing weight is more important than eating he rest of the Tootsie Rolls!
