Thanks MF Buddies for your thoughtful messages !

I worked a half day today and then came home and cleaned for 2 hours...It was a good feeling to have a little more energy !

Dinner: I had to call a nurse from Medifast and inquire about more "lean" tonight. I had just finished my TOM last week and for some reason was really still hungry after my L&G...She said, sometimes when you have your TOM, you can have an ounce or two more of your lean, so that you are having enough iron...

I feel much better having a few more pieces of steak..YUM !!

I've been wondering, "When is everyone usually on this site"? When I have a few minutes in the morning, I like to start my day here...

I recall when Biki and Jo were here they were on in the morning too !!

P.S. I am willing to trade some MF grub and put a list in the 'swap" section...Let me know if you're interested !!

Hi Joy here!

I am so impressed with your positive nature and may I say how very happy I am for you to have lost 10 pounds! That is so wonderful!

I have a crazy week ahead, but I wanted to wish you well this week!

sincerely,
Joy

That's very interesting about the lean and the iron. I tend to be anemic anyway, so I will keep that in mind if I'm feeling hungry after TOM. I'm also taking prenatals (even though I know you don't really need a multi if you're on plan) which have iron so I can be in the best shape possible when the time comes for another little one. Maybe that will help my energy levels, too. Thanks for calling and then sharing that tip!

I'm glad you're doing so well. It really is wonderful when it all comes together, and I know I've said that before, but it's true so it bears repeating! Enjoy your day today.

HI'YA Pam!!!!

Hi .........What a snowy day here in Ct !

We had early dismissal today and I had a chance to relax this afternoon...

Had my first so called "challenging" day ...I felt SOOOO HUNGRY in the afternoon. (I had started my MF supp's earlier than usual....like 4:00 am !)

I had consumed all of my supp's by 4:00...Felt hungry,out of sorts if you will, and discontented. I said to myself,"Pam go and get a sugar free jello out of the fridge...I did and still felt unsettled...So I decided to have one more jello...Believe it or not, that did the trick...I have realized over the course of the past day or so, that the bars are yummy, but don't fill me up to where I feel satisfied...Any one else experience this????????

I will continue to consume my water tonight as I sit and become entertained with American Idol !!! It is such a hoot !

This journey is long and at times challenging but certainly worth the effort of being healthy !! I got an NSV (Non Scale Vicotry) today.. A friend said that there was something different about me...A glow, she said ! Yes a glow about ME !!!

I said thank you and told her about my journey for better health...She smiled and said 'Who's better than you"????

Have a great night MF buds !!

Good for you at beating those hungries!!!! Did the scale go down today?!? I find that I lose more on days that I have intense hungries! Its like my body is working so hard to get rid of the fat it is hungry Once I figured that out, it made the hungries easier to bear!!

You made an excellent choice with your foods and hungries! That's a HUGE NSV!! CONGRATS!!

Good for you pam........ I am going to have to agree about the bars. but they are nice to have if you need that sugar fix. Hope you have a great day.

[nickieluv]

I usually go for the bars because they're so easy - but we've been out of them for a while and I do notice that when I have shakes instead I am less hungry. I see I'm not the only one!

Happy Thursday !
It's been a very busy last couple of days but I'm still here ! All is good in MF land and I have been so busy at work. Yes, the snow days are over for awhile !

I had a salad with grilled chicken in it for dinner last night, and then again for L&G for today at lunch...Let me warn you now....IT IS VERY GOOD, BUT DEADLY !! It will fly right through you !

Any American Idol watchers out there???? I find it hilarious, especially last night !!
Toodles ...
More later !

TGIF !!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a busy week here in Ct...I am doing awesome and can report another 2 pounds GONE !!! That brings me up to 13 pounds LOST FOR GOOD !

I am so psyched and especially feel great........It's all so worth it...
I want to lose another 2 by roll call...That's my mini -goal !

Leigh, thanks for stopping by...I don't know if I'm extra hungry when I'm cold, I DO know that those hungries have tried to re-appear more often...
I just ignore them, have water, and move on !

Have a great day all !!

[Tawanda]

I love that you've found your focus and motivation......you are doing great!!

Happy Saturday !
I am up early so I can get my hair done !
First reward for being back to MF.

My hair stylist...TJ ((Male & so utterly cute and YOUNG !!) is coming in at 7:30 am to accomocate me into his schedule.........How sweet is THAT???

I have had a short hairstyle for awhile and then in the last 6 months tried growing it out..WHY?? Not sure...Want my hair longer again, but I can't stand the waiting !!

So I will give him free reign and let him be creative ...Let's see what happens !!

My plan is going well...but today I have woken up with a little shortness of breath...Anyone ever have that hapopen??

Off to have a shake and see if I can feel a little better .............

[katieb920]

Hey Lady,

Thanks for checking in on me. Today is a good day for me so far. I dohave a headache other wise good to go. Hope you are having a fabulous day

[katesmom]

It's Monday ........

It's about 4:00 and I am tired today..Ever wake up every hour all night long? That was what my night was like last night...

I am happy to report that I am down another pound !! My loss is now 14 pounds........

I was really strong today amidst MUCH chocolate cake, brownies, cookies and candy...It was a good friend's birthday at work and she just naturally offered me the cake...I politely said, "No Thank You" and just persevered.......I had to walk past the table of goodies all day long...I looked but did not taste..I told the inner brat to "take a hike and to NOT even think about tempting me " !!

She lost ....again !

Hope it's a great day for YOU !!:)

New avatar soon!! As soon as I can have my daughter take my photo and I can download it here .

[katesmom]

Tuesday...1:45pm

Thanks Leigh...Actually it's a total of 14pds..I just edited my last post but it's all still good !

Yes, My inner brat is trying to bring up old habits, like Dunkin Donuts !!
The Mesage she tried to pull on me this morning was, "No one will see -if you just have your favorite Boston Cream..." I did not even stop and get my coffee because I felt that she would win...So I got into work and a friend had bought me a coffee !! YEAH !!

I had a another NSV last night...Three friends and I went out to a great restaurant (very healthy place) for dinner to celebrate two of their birthdays...My friend Beth looked across the table and said,"You are looking fantastic " !! I said thank you..She said, "No really, you are looking awesome " ! I thanked her again and smiled... Yes it was great to have that compliment...

I ordered salmon and fresh green beans..It was so yummy...

That's all for now...Have a meeting in 12 minutes and then off to Tae Kwan Do to watch my daughter...

Note: I find that having my L&G at lunch is better for me...
