Hang in there!!!

Yesterday was my restart Day 1 and I know how you feel! I had the dull headache too. I spaced my meals closer together and kept a supplement in the "hole" By time I finished 1 I was shaking another and letting it stand to thicken. When I was hungry (usually every hour and a half) I'd drink it. I also had 2 fast soups and in the second one I put ...

I've had the headache most of the day, but I feel like I could just curl up and go to sleep. Is that common also!?
Another hour to the next meal, and I'm starving. I keep drinking water, but its not really doing the trick, my stomach is growlin'.
I'll make it, its just a bit tough right now.

Hi All! I'm following in the footsteps of those who posted daily. I really was inspired by Lois and Dutch's posting daily back in Oct. and Nov when I was on my first stage with MF, and thought it might be a good way to self-motivate as I start my 2nd. I see now that Kat,Carrie? and some others are doing this too...

So, enough talking about WHEN I was going to restart my MF ...

Are there any tricks for getting 64oz of water down? I don't mind water, but I never feel like drinking alot. My friends call me the "camel". I like the shakes, soups and bars. Water I can take or leave.

Thanks to all,

Mary Ann

This is mt first time on MF, I pray that this is the answer for me(Finally) I am very excited about this, any helpful hints?

Been catching up on this forum and it's great to see so many familiar names and new ones too!

I havent posted since early December before my 21/2 week vacation. I took shakes with me (RTD's) but I didnt stick to the plan totally, so Im restarting this week. Today is my new day 1.

So far so good and I hope to reach my goal by our next vacation in June 2005.

Thanks for ...

Hi Gang,

It has been a long, long while since I’ve posted one of my ‘what’s on my mind’ ramblings, basically because I’ve been busy out there living my life in a way I haven’t in years and years.

I started MF on March 1, 2004. Since then I have been through 2 weight loss periods, followed by 2 hiatus’s and am just now embarking on my 3rd weight loss phase. It pans out sorta ...

Hey you other maintainers,

Are you using balsamic vinegar? I found a spectacular tasting one at William Sonoma "Fini". Little expensive at $10+ for 7oz bottle, but VERY GOOD!

Any others recommended?

I have a salad of raw spinach and fat-free cottage cheese with balsamic vinegar followed by grilled chicken or steak in the same plate using the remaining vinegar as a sauce. Broke da mouth ono! (extremely delicious in Hawaiian pigeon).

Hi everyone,

We all know that MF tends to dehydrate, causing electrolyte loss that can lead to nasty leg cramps. We also know that MF fast soups and bouillion are a great (and yummy) way to replenish sodium and potassium. I just wanted to pass along another option for getting more potassium, and it's painless! Morton's makes a "light" version of its table salt that I've found in my grocery store. It's cheap, and it ...

I'm so excited. My package arrived earlier than expected....so I can't wait. My husband is also showing interest, so he may be joining the MF team soon too.

I just want to make sure I understand, because I have read some conflicting posts regarding the "3 shakes by 2:00pm". Does it matter if they aren't all shakes? My thoughts were that I would have Oatmeal, then a shake, and then soup (by 2:00pm). Will that ...
