Happy Day

Just another small (or not so small) victory and a tribute both to my success and the effectiveness of this program.

Went out shopping today. I completely cleaned out my closet of all of my fat clothes and I've got to tell you, it is looking bare! I am going out of town Sun on business and needed some presentable sweats I can wear to the gym in the hotel. While at the store, I ...

Help for hollow exerciser!!!!!!!!!!??????????

I've been trying to add some exercise. Only managed to fit in 2 half hour sessions this week. I've been doing some walking / tai chi on a somewhat irregular routine as time permits. This week tried Curves once and did about 20 min on an old Health Rider yesterday. No exercise today. But I seem to be hungrier than I have been in a long time. This evening I ate a meal with the ...

Question about strenuous exercise....

I've been doing my Pilates faithfully every night for 2 weeks now, and wasn't planning on switching up my routine for another month or two, but I've changed my mind.

I'm going to return to training in Aikido on November 1st. I need to do this for my mental health. This is very strenuous exercise. At first I'll only go twice a week. Each class is 2 hours long and during a class I will ...

Maintenance Musings

Since there seem to be a few of us rapidly approaching this new and scary phase in our journeys, I thought it was time to make this section of the board more active. I thought I would start things off with a few thoughts about maintenance and ideas I have for making it work.

First, I think most of us have successfully lost sometimes significant amounts of weight in the past. What none of us ...

Drumroll PLEASE!

I made it through 'that time'. It was trying on my patience, but I kept my eye on the prize and did not waver. Was rewarded this morning, with a reading of 204.8, total loss 61.7. (Unca please bump me up a club, AT LAST!)

Waaaahoooooooooo!

3rd Day

Well, I got up this morning and got on the scales. I have lost 7lbs! I know all of it has to be water. I have used the bathroom so much. 3 more lbs and it will be 10! Starting my second day, I had a trace of ketosis. Starting this morning I had none. Does this mean I did something wrong last night with my meal? Has everyone who is on this program gone ...

Day 2 for me

Well, I have finished day 2. This morning when I got up I had a trace of Ketosis. Still trying to figure out things about MF. I get up at 5:30 and at 6:30 yesterday I had an oatmeal, which I thought was very good. I didn't have to add any sweetener! Then at 9:30 I had my first shake and let me tell you, I thought it tasted like Chocolate frosting! 12:30 I had ...

Which Scales are best?

I wasn't sure which room to post this message in, just had a question concerning "scales"...I noticed the Medifast site has one for over 70.00...they have no description or information about it...has anyone purchased one? I weigh nearly 400lbs, does anyone know what brand or prices on scales that might assist me with buying one soon. Thank you...Faithchild

The Drink of FIRE!

This is a big thank you to Mike for his Drink of Fire idea...

Yesterday and today (Days 4 and 5) have been tough for me. I'm guessing that now all my glycogen stores are totally gone and my bod is breaking down the dreaded pudge. And it REALLY WANTS bad food.

Yesterday I had an extra bar and that was very effective, though I know that's a no-no. I was sick, and I don't ...

Looks like a good day to reach a mini-goal!

:cheers:

I want to preface this post by saying flatly that I WANTED CHEETOS last night for no good reason! LOL I don't buy them, but my mother stopped by and said she wanted to bring them over for the kids, so naturally, they begged and wheedled and drove me insane until after dinner when I told them they could have a handful.
I poked my hand ...
