Are we talking about Nickie's Dominos guy again? :roflmao:

Hi, Stacey! Glad you're feeling better and are back on track!

Hey, Ya'll! Thanks for all the Get Well wishes and the Welcome Backs! I'm still stuffy but it's so good to have it on the way out.

My poor hubby, Troy, tried so hard not to catch it. He slept in the living room all week and he would only stick his head in the bedroom door to check on me. Occasionally he would leave a bowl of soup on the corner of the dresser and run. Now he's sick! Hopefully it won't last too long for him.

I decided I should be faithful to the program and weigh in today (I weigh once a week on Tuesday morning). I was worried that I might've gained since over the past week I didn't drink all the water I should have and I ate a few bowls of chicken noodle soup. But God is so good and I'm at 204.5! Down from 230 since April 3 (about 5 weeks?)! I can't believe 200 is finally in sight! Thank you, MF! And thank you MFers for all your encouragement!

I was around 200 when I got married a year and a half ago. So I've almost lost the marriage weight. I've tried SO many diets before and I've made it to 175, but have never been able to crack 170. But first things first - 200, here I come!

Yesterday was a complete change for me - I was SO hungry all day! The past week I haven't been hungry at all (due to the cold). I still can't taste or smell, so I don't know what was making me so hungry! I usually eat about every 3 hours, but yesterday I had to back it up to every 2 hours. I worked an extra shift and didn't get off until 10:30, and I was starving when I got home, so I added in an extra supplement. For some reason, I was CRAVING Oreos or Reese's. It doesn't make any sense 'cause no one was eating them around me, and I can't even smell or taste 'em! Troy was home sick, and he convinced me that I really wanted to stick to the plan, so I should have some MF chocolate pudding instead. It ended up hitting the spot. Phew!! I'm so ashamed to admit it, but if there hadn't been anyone there to keep me accountable I probably would've eaten the chocolate! :oops:

But you didn't.
And now that you know what it takes to make the craving
go away, the next time it hits, you'll know what to do.
Just think of it as a learning experience, Stacey!

You'll be in Onederland soon, girl! WooHoo!!

I just had my first peanut butter bar! I've only had the soups, pudding, shakes and eggs up 'til now. I'm in LOOOOOOOOOOOVE! :mrgreen:

But when I put it in my food calendar for the day on the MF home page, it was SO much more than anything else I eat! Most soups and shakes are 100-110, and the bar is 160! Maybe I'll limit them to 1 or 2 a week. Maybe I shouldn't order more of those.

Pashta · by **Pashta** » May 8th, 2007, 5:50 pm

Yep, that's why they're limited to only one a day.

You don't need to restrict them entirely, I know plenty of folks who always ate one a day and still lost weight like crazy. The trick is to usually eat a salad the day you have a bar. Vegetables have much more carbs than a salad.

You're doing great, glad you had the pudding instead of the no-nos! :clapclap:

My favorite bars are the chocolate mint ones. Delish!!

Serendipity · by **Serendipity** » May 8th, 2007, 7:17 pm

Stacey, I had a bar every day I was on plan and still lost all the weight. No worries if you keep it to one/day. They were my daily treat.

BiggerInTexas · by **BiggerInTexas** » May 9th, 2007, 10:08 am

Thanks, guys! I can't wait to try all the bar flavors now! I hear all good things about the chocolate mint ones!

I'm going to try posting a pic of Dobbs & me at the Eeyore's Birthday festival two weekends ago:

Let's see if it works!

Hi Stacey - you sure are doing a wonderful job - what a great weight loss for only 5 weeks. I too was just sick but I had the flu. After dealing with the flu for two days and trying to stay on program - I had to come off because I was just too weak and just coulnd't stomach them anymore. I ended up having the flu for at least one week and even was hospitalized for a night. I ended up initially losing a bunch of weight but then with being off the program for a little over a week - I gained 2.5 pounds. I started back on program this past Monday and have lost that 2.5 pounds plus an additional 2 pounds. I do not envy anybody who gets the flu on this program or anybody that gets sick period. I hope you fully recover soon.
