The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Folks,

Let me tell you, once you reach goal weight, your body REALLY needs more calories and you simply must have all your supplements on time while in transition. This is Day 3. Yesterday was shopping with my girlfriend, and she wanted to stop on the way home at a restaurant to order take out food for her dinner. This caused me a delay of about an hour in taking my supplement. I felt like ...

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 ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) –

Modifying the consumption of different food-groups may keep body weight from creeping up over time, new research suggests.

The six-year study found that adults who boosted their intake of fruit during the research period put on less weight and body fat than those whose fruit consumption dipped. The same benefit was seen among men and women who started drinking more skim or low-fat milk, or who cut back on fatty ...

Is anyone out there reading or has read in the past any good "Self help" and " Behavior modification" books? If so, could you please share them with me. I'd like to utilise the time I'm on medifast to really understand and get a grip on Emotional eating and that sort of things.

A view from the other side is always welcome--and needed!

Thanks Skinny! ;)

I was posed with the following from a great friend that is losing a substantial amount of weight. This person is in the exact same boat as all of us. This person will see this post and any replies given it. I was granted permission to post it. I thought it was ALL of us.

Last week at work there was a birthday thing for a co-worker. There was cheesecake. There is still leftover cheesecake ...

Hi Mike,
Just want to pick your brain a little...:)
Now that you're nearing your goal, how do you feel about going through transition and getting into maintenance?

Do you have a plan? What have you learned? What haven't you learned?

This'll be great for all our readers. Hopefully we can shed some light on life after weight loss....

Hey, Kids ~

As you get closer to your ideal BMI, check out my November Newsletter for Transition tips.

It is time to start planning ahead and preparing for the next step in your journey to optimal health! :lol:

One of the first things you can do to prepare yourself for transition is to learn how to listen to your body. As you begin adding foods to your diet, take mental notes on how you feel. After a meal do you become anxious, satisfied, hungry, energized only to get drowsey, energized and a feeling of well being, happy, grumpy, etc...

These can all be signs on how our diet is affecting us. In today's ...
