It took a day longer than expected, but I'm back on Medifast. I took my week off for Las Vegas and planned to start back yesterday (Monday)...but I slipped up and ate a normal meal.

It's ok though, I did that during my original start date as well. I learned that starting on this plan is much easier on work days for me, so today (my first day back at work) is my new "return" date. I work through Friday, so by the end of that day, I should be back to normal.

I did gain three pounds this morning (three total for the entire week off), so it's not a huge gain. Hopefully that will be off in a day or two. I would love to see a 10-15 pound first week drop again. I'm 15 pounds away from my first major goal...so hopefully it will happen soon.

Yikes! I forgot all about the headaches. They are already starting!!

Hopefully I will not have any hunger this time. I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have that problem when I started.

I never had the headaches. I tried to drink waaay enough water. I didn't drink it very cold the first few days, though. Now, I drink it as cold as I can get it. Hang in there!! You will do great.

I'm the opposite. I would never drink enough water if I kept it really cold. I generally keep it at room temperature.

I tried it really cold at first, but I found it hard to consume more than 64oz. in a day that way. At room temperature, I down about 120+

Wow!! That's a lot. Glad to hear you had fun in Vegas. I have never been. My parents go out there a lot. At least 5 times a year. My dad really likes blackjack. He does alright, I guess. They go somewhere and gamble at least twice a month. We have a lot of the Indian Reservation Casino's around here. Well, withing a few hours drive. I really want to go out. My husband is kind of tight, though!! He will take me almost anywhere I want to go, but NO gambling. He says he works to hard for me to just give it away. Grinch!!

Welcome back! You did great to only gain 3 pounds while you were gone-those 3 pounds will disappear before you know it and I am sure they will take some friends with them! :yay:

Welcome back!

I was watching for you to come back with curiosity to see how the weight gain went. That is really not bad when you think about it.

You will probably lose it in no time! Good to have ya back.
