So I really was not going to write a journal. But then I was reading everyone else's Journals and they were so inspirational. So here goes my story.

If I get real sappy I am sorry. It is actually 9 years ago today that my mom passed away. I am realizing I am actually alot like her. In a good way and a bad way. When I was 10 years old we moved from ...

I'm not sure how well I'll keep up with this journal, but I figured I'd start one anyway.

I'll give a brief recap of my "coming back" post.

I started Medifast in September of last year. I lost 30 pounds in about 6 weeks. Then I stopped in the weeks surrounding a surgery. I gained 15 pounds back in about 7 weeks.

Yesterday was my first day back on. I did pretty well, although I'm ...

So, I've come out of lurking mode and have decided to start a journal. :lol: Been meaning to do it the last 8 months but I'm the worlds greatest procrastinator. :oops:

For the benefit of those who have never read any of my few-and-far-between posts, I'll introduce myself. I live in Louisiana, 49 yrs old, I have a wonderful ...

I have never been very good at journaling anything, but I thought I would give this a try. Anything to help stay focused has got to be worth the effort.

I am currently on my 7th day of MF. So far I have had no trouble staying compliant, I have, however, had severe headaches. :wallwall: Today does seem to be better. I hope they go away soon. ...

So, I finally got here, the time to write the first post of my journal :) I'll start Medifast tomorrow, and my goal is to lost 55-60 lbs (from 215 to 160).

As the ticker in my signature show, I lost my first 11 lbs by changing my lifestyle (more sport, healthier food). But I now want to be at 160 lbs, a weight I never was ...

1/5/07 - Today is my fourth day on MF. I huge accomplishment since I usually mess up around day 2, over and over again. By standard rules, I should be hitting ketosis now, which I am thankful for. Those first few days are HARD. I get So hungry and I'm about ready to pass out from hunger on my way home from work to eat my lean and green. But this ends. Actually yesterday wasn't ...

Well, I'm back on my re, re, re, re-start. :wave: I can't even remember when I first started MF, but I lost 30 pounds for my 20 year class reunion...duh :hammerhead: that means it was April 2005...and it worked so well for me, but then I got to a point where I felt good about myself and was looking ...

It is time for me to start journaling. I can't help but notice that quite a few of the people posting in the maintenance forum have been really good along their journey about posting here and/or journaling. So, in an effort to follow in their footsteps and for the acountability - here I go.

Aside from struggling to get all of my water in today, I was completely compliant. Hey, you take these daily victories ...

Wow, it has been a long time since I've been around :oops:

Hello everyone! :wave: I thought I'd get a jump on the New Year and get back on the ol' plan that really works: my long-lost friend Medifast! ;)

I first tried Medifast way back in October 2004 and it ...

Hello, I have decided to begin my journal as I will re-start the program Jan 1st or 2nd. I have not decided which day yet. I am working on getting my head in the right place over the next few days. I have had many starts and re-starts since April, so I have not lost any weight. I have not gained anymore either. Thank goodness! I love this forum and I will be coming here ...
