I'm SO sorry... I lost the origin of this thread!

But, I was going through my self-improvement ritual this evening, which includes a lot of motivational music...

I crossed paths with this song... it has certainly blazed a trail thru my heart, this first week on MF.... and surely, it would mean something to others that may come this way (?)... so, I really wanted to share...

*Sipping last shake*

Well, I did it! I made it through day one. A little harder than I thought but all in all not bad. I was a little hungry in the morning and felt yucky so I took a nap to pass the time. When I woke up I had my 3rd MR and felt better - the rest of the day was ok.

What I didn't succeed at was 64 oz of water. ...

hi, It's the reformer again. I am on day 9 and down 6lbs. Being so excited
about MF, I blabbed to everybody at work (I am a hospital nurse) right from the start. Now, before they say "hi" they ask "How's the diet?" LOL. I don"t mind being the guinea pig (no pun intended). I am having zero hunger pains. A tip from me: I find making the soups,chili and oatmeal in the microwave too ...

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 know it's summer, but I still love to have tea in the evening (Decaff only!!). I tried this new blueberry tea I found at the grocery store. It's not a medifast meal. Anway, you wouldn't think it would be this tasty, but it was SO delicious (especially with a few packets of splenda/equal). It was like candy and it was so satisfying!

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this!!

Ok! I really like how my jerk chicken came out. It's very spicy and not very sweet. So you should adjust the cayenne pepper and splenda according to your tastes.

Jerk Marinade

2 tablespoons ground allspice
2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
3 teaspons ground sage
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1.5 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons garlic powder ...

I still have about 2 boxes of Chicken/Wild Rice soup. Would love to trade for some shakes. Prefer any flavor except vanilla as I have a lot of vanilla. Or, I'll take puddings as well.




Thanks, Jodi

Hiya all! :exercise:

Wasn't sure if this was the right place for a "tip", but here goes anyway...

I have a busy counseling practice & run several related websites, AND I have four children at home on summer break right now, so I have to think WAAAAY too much, ALL the time... I have to multi-task from the moment I get up in the AM until I ...

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 ...
