Hi journal, I wanted to explain my loss. I have lupus and had a major flare up in december and had to double my prednisone. Been blowing up like a balloon ever since. pitting edema in my legs all the way up to my thighs. Wheezing, fatigue, unable to breath hardly. That's why I restarted medifast. Either that or get really really sick. I have also been on diuretics this week. I am glad to report no more cankles!
The official loss as of today is 23 pounds. Boy wouldn't it be nice if the rest was as fast as this .... right!
I expect another big week next week, still have some water retention.
As to the meals....Chynna....I did medifast 2 years ago (with DD) and lost 50 pounds in 2 months. due to mother's illness and untimely death got off program and never restarted. I already knew I hate almost everything. I can drink the RTD's but not the powdered shakes, I eat the chocolate pudding and the hot chocolate. That is 95 % of what I use. But it's not bad. The lean and green keeps me going.
I found a new salad dressing that is to die for. Kraft Lite Asian toasted Sesame dressing. It is fine....
I also tried out that soy marinade that was posted in lean cusine with the miso, garlic, and splenda and used alittle of it in some stir fry....wonderful
tata for now.
