Thread: The Rogue HCG Saloon

Hello all, poobears, I hear you on finding something healthy you can live with....Im stuck at the same weight but going to stay with this for awhile, feeling good and my skin looks better....frustrating that the loss is so slooooooooow.

Rilly, great job! We are around the same weight....I am dreaminnpg of vpbeing under 200 some day.

Pb, i have a bad back and just live with it, iT comes and goes.....part of living I think. Most everyone I know has something.

Poobear that is amazing! What all did you get to enjoy yesterday?

AFM up .6 today. I caved and ate half a bagel in the teachers lounge yesterday. Today will be better.

Oh I also got my first stichfix box yesterday. I don't remember if I mentioned it but you put in your clothing sizes and preferences and they have a stylist send you 5 items to try. You send back what you don't like in a prepaid envelope. I was extremely impressed with the clothes. If you buy all 5 items you get a 25% discount. The total box would be $225 but if you buy it all only $175 average of $35 a piece. Without discount they average $45-$55 a piece. I loved most of it, a few were a bit big. I got a maxi skirt(which I just got 4 of so no need to buy another) but I loved it. I think I am going to keep the Cardigan and a half sleeve shirt. Unfortunately not a time right now I have a ton to spend on clothes. But I could totataly see in the future getting a whole box I love.

Haven't heard of Stitchfix before. I always shop at thrifts, hate paying much for clothes LOL Glad you got some things you like.

Oh goodness yesterday I had (not sure I should really type it all out)
Big chocolate chip muffin (360 calories in that one muffin, seriously was there a buffalo baked in there?)
4 snack size sausage biscuits with cheese
Beef Fajita meat on a low carb tortilla with cheese, sour cream & salsa
1/2 serving of sweet and crunchy peanuts
Lean Cuisine Spaghetti with meat sauce dinner
Slice of toast with butter, garlic salt and parmesan
Homemade funfetti cookies

Think that was "all" LOL Oh wait not all there was also some nibbling on corn bread in there and a bite of a cheese hot dog eww meds made that taste really bad, ok think that was all

DD has decided she wants to do alternate days too so she is going to start next week. I think she'll do great with it. She has a tendency to try to go too strict then give up so this way she can keep treat and fun stuff in, just every other day. She already has protein shakes and fruit for breakfast and protein bars for lunch so down days won't be a big change for her, she'll just have to change her after school eating on those days, not going to have her count her calories, just alternate her eating. At her age/16 and weight no reason to get strict.

I'll copy and paste one of the ladies stats from over there. Honestly if I was her I would have quit after the first couple of weeks because it really didn't look like she lost anything. But it's how most lose on the plan, slow and steady and she not only got to goal, she's stayed there for years and she's not the only one. It definitely seems like more maintain on that plan than any other I've ever seen.

Ok won't leave this up long but here is her weight tracking and notes. Like I said I would have quit and said to heck with this plan in the first couple of weeks, really glad I found her weight tracker posted to see the bounce as they call it. Now I understand how the losses work on the plan. She actually lost beyond this, she maintains at 120, which is about 8lbs I think below her goal weight.

Wow Poobear that is very interesting. If you look at it in months at a time, the first few months she lost 5lbs each month. Can you send me a link for that? (I'm not sure if you posted already or not).
At this point I would be extremely happy with 5lbs in one month.

I finsihed my stitchfix online just now. I was good and only kept one thing. Got to be financially responsible But I already scheduled one for October 8th on a payday. It is soooo fun getting a box of stuff to try on in the mail I'm looking forward to it already!

I went for the half sleeve top. I was iffy on hour the cardigan hung and my rule is if I'm unsure it's a no.
Thanks for the link.
