Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in a long while because I have been working on an important project! One of the many reasons I did MF and still use the products is because I wanted to lose weight and be HEALTHY. I wanted at some point to be at a healthy weight when I tried to conceive and I wanted to get a grip on my overeating so I would not teach my bad habits to my future children. Well I'm happy to say that I need to put on about 25 pounds over the next 8 months!! I am having a baby!!! My doc says I can continue with the MF shakes as a supplement because I enjoy them and they are loaded with vitamins!!! The funny thing is when I am at full term weight I'll still weigh less than when I started MF!! I'll be 130-135!
I still need to control my eating, weight gain in pregancy is about proper nutrition not gorging. There was a time when I only wanted to be pregnant so I could EAT,EAT, EAT now I'm joining 'pregancy without the pounds'. My health and my new baby's is the most important!!!!
Thanks again to all that have supported me. This group is fantastic.

Alison,

Nice to meet you! What glorious news! You are a geniune success story with such a happy bonus - a baby!!! Wow! Having to put on weight. Don't think those words will ever leave my lips referring to my body. Please if you don't get too busy, let us know how you're doing. Many of us will be on maintenance soon, and your experience choosing healthy foods to gain would be educational.

Oh my, what a journey you are now on. Congratulations and the very best of health to you!

Hi, Alison.

You don't know me because I was just lurking about the last time I remember "hearing" from you. First, congratulations!!

What intrigued me then was that you'd completed 8 weeks of MF, I believe just shakes?, and I remember you'd lost a lot and were at a wonderful weight. Then, 8 weeks sounded amazing to me and I wanted to do the same thing -- maybe I was at only a couple of weeks then, maybe that was even before I started officially doing a "good job" with my MF. Anyway, I wondered what happened to you -- you were facing going home to visit your family then and were worried about what would happen there; I could certainly relate to that because I would've worried about the same thing.

Neat that the doctor likes the MF product -- kind of backs up the fact that I've felt really wonderful on shakes alone. I never would've thought THAT possible. Take care, and glad to hear from you with such amazing news -- pregnancy weight being that low will be easier to manage than otherwise, I'm sure. Yippee.
