When you go to a restaurant, how do you gauge portions if the weight isn't listed on the menu? For instance, Chinese, you can get the steamed chicken and veggies which is yummy. But then the plate comes out and it seems like an awful lot.... I don't eat the carrots or little corn, just the broccoli, celery, and mushrooms (and chicken of course). I'm pretty sure the chicken portion is sufficient to meet the ...

Well, after bouncing around within a 6 pound range for 3 weeks, I finally had some significant weight loss, 7 1/2 pounds in 8 days.

I'm not sure exactly what I did differently, other than the following two things:

1) made sure to have at least 2 shakes per day, preferably 3.

and

2) on days when I exercised, depending upon the exercise, added anywhere from 100 calories (extra shake) to 300 calories (snacks, crackers, ...

We are having ALOT of lunches out at work in the next few weeks and their restaurant of choice is you guessed it, mexican. I love it, but that was pre-Medifast and I've avoided this far. I have to decide what I'm getting before I go in or I'll cave. My question is, what can you eat at a mexican rest? I know the beans, cheese, etc is out. The fajita meat and vegetables is ...

Okay... have to brace myself to write this....

But, I started SIX days ago, and have... as of this morning... lost....

ELEVEN POUNDS!!??!!?? :shock:

Woah! :o

Just really curious about this... because I started on the 5+1 plan just under a week ago, and decided by day two that there was WAY too much temptation for me to even TOUCH food to my mouth, so I flipped over to full-fast right away as a preventative measure. :roll:

I have NO willpower & have convinced myself that this is "required medicine"... Doing FANTASTIC ...

I was doing some searching on the web (it's a long story), and came across this very interesting article. Thought I would share it with ya'll. Happy reading!

Why alcohol calories are more important than you think . . .

Successful weight loss is all about oxidizing (or burning), more calories than you eat. When they go on a diet, many people choose low-calorie alcoholic drinks, mainly because they contain fewer alcohol calories than their ...

OK, I have to ask this question.

In the last week, I have had two people make statements to me that have me a little bothered.

One of my bestest of friends told me on Friday that I have to be careful because my face is looking too thin and don't loose too much more weight.

Then yesterday at a wedding, my aunt saw me and said "Keri, you are looking too thin.... you have ...

Thats right ya'll! I am finally in the 20 lbs club!!! woohoo! ITs so great to finally accomplish this!!!!!! Onderland is not too far off and I will be there soon!!!!! I know I can do this, just gotta stay motivated! So this week on friday I will buy a new book and give it to my cousin to hold for me until I get to the 30lbs lost. I can do this! Have a ...

Which weight is the one to take? Meat weighs less after its cooked. Which way are we supposed to be measuring?

Their daily eating schedule?

I was reading the quick start again last night and it says we should be having 900 to 1000 calories a day. I log my meals into mymedifast (mainly because it is wicked fun to see graphs and charts) and it adds up your calories, protein, sodium etc. It is interesting to look at.

Anyway, if I have my 5 a day then 7oz of chicken, salad or whatever veggies it ...
