Wren,
Hang in there... you've been doing fantastic and they can't take that away from you :)

I copied this from my journal last night... thought you might be interested in my conversation yesterday at my Center. There's one girl there who's really great. She really listens and it's like were making decisions together, not her telling me what to do. Anyhow, here's our conversation...

***But I used this opportunity to ask a couple of questions... First, seeing I'll never make my original goal date, what happens? She said because I was following the plan, I would get any additional weeks for free. I said that I would need to buy the extra lights (seeing I had only bought enough for the original weight loos and stabilization) and she said technically no, although it would definitely help. I asked if that would effect my refund. She said no, that the refund only comes into play once you have met your weight loss goal.***

Completely different response, huh? But I'm going to "test" things and ask someone else just to make sure the response is the same. Maybe you sould try that too. You have so many new people (like me) that they all might just not know what they're talking about. This counselor, she's gone through the program and has hit her first 6 months of maintenance, so I'm hoping she knows. I have a couple of counselors who I don't even think were ever clients!

Hope you have a GREAT weekend! When does the country club close down again?

Did they give you handouts? YES
I believe you are right a new food each week not each visit. I'd point out to the center what the handout or stabilization cards say.
Marg,

wren, this is not normal, in my opinion. you should be waiting 1 full week before new additions. i will look up my added foods and post shortly on the weekly schedule. you can follow that, if you like, instead of their crazy notions. i wonder what is up at your center. it sounds like the center doesn't know the plan as they should.

wren, i went up a couple of pounds from time to time during stabilization, but no more than that.

you just need a little time to adjust. that's all. your body takes a little time to get used to the extra food. but i do not think you will gain in the long run. *long run* is the operative term here. your body is getting used to more food so you may fluctuate up a little bit. but then i believe it will come down.

plus, with all the wonderful walks you take, you will not go up!!!

great job, wren. hang in there. i know it is a little scary to eat more when you have worked sooo hard to lose weight. you will do a great job.
