Eh-hem (clearing my throat modestly) Yes, that would be ME losing 50 pounds as of today. AND I'm still on Cloud 9! Don't call me bashful today!
Well Stacey, the first month, I did only Medifast 55 shakes (5 a day), diet soda, bouillion, and WATER. no exercise. From the second month to date, I'm still doing the complete MF plan but incorporated their other products (e.g. chili, soups, bars,) still 5 MF supplements a day plus the other freebies. The fourth month I added 2 pickles a day but it's too much salt for me cause I drink a few gulps of the juice too (I have always been addicted to pickle juice) so I have cut that out, and also switched from MF 55 shakes to the MF shakes for Women for Comfort and Regularity because they were on sale, and Nancy recommended them due to the added appetite suppressant. As to exercise, the later part of the third month I started doing pilates 3 times a week, swimming a couple of times a week, and walking very fast on the treadmill 45 minutes each session 5 days a week.
I wanted this weight off as quickly as possible. Consequently, I am proud to say that I have not cheated once. If anything, I skipped a MF supplement having only 4 a day on just a few days when I got too busy or was unable to get to my MF. I really felt weak though the next day after skipping a MF meal so I don't recommend it.
Persevere Stacey! This diet absolutely works and is worth the sacrifices.
We're all in the stands cheering you on!
