Hi, all. I'm soon going to be posted here in a few versions.

First, my start photo, about 160 pounds:



Then, my "working" photo after 101 days of shakes only, taken 10/27/04 @ 127 pounds. This is not 125, my goal, not 126, but 127... I'm sure I can get closer or still meet my goal if I persevere, but it's with great pride and gratitude to all of you that I say -- ...

This may be strange, but I have to ask--LOL When I was on Medifast previously, I was always hungry at night--I don't sleep much, and stay up late and rise early, so even if my last shake is at 7p.m., by 9 my belly starts to growl and by the time I hit the sack (midnight or so) my stomach is pinching with hunger--ouch! I soon saw a pattern, though, in that on the nights ...

Hey guys, I've just finished week two and wanted to stop in and brag. Bragging is allowed here, right??

Today marks two weeks since starting the 5:1 plan and I'm down 10 lbs. Half way to my first of three mini goals (20 lbs each!).

Anyone contemplating using this product....take my advice....it works!

Have a great day everyone!

Does anyone know what are the weight loss averages for full fasters?

I go in fits and starts with my gum 'chewage', today's one of those days when it's savin' me.

I was really surprised by how good some of the sugarless gum is, I really like these:
Dentyne Fire
Chiclets strawberry breeze
Chiclets citrus samba
Dragonfire
Dentyne wintergreen
Dentyne spearmint

BUT I tried Eclipse Cherry Chill today and it was YUCKY! It's like cough syrup in a gum, BEWARE!

For mints/candies I like s'mint and sqyntz ...

Just who should you tell that you are on a diet, MF or otherwise? I see that often discussed on the board by people who are embarrassed to tell their family and friends. I say, TELL EVERYONE!

Tell your family, tell your friends, tell your co-workers, tell the milk man, tell the grocery store checker, tell EVERYONE! Those who love and/or respect you will support you. Those who do not, well who cares?!?

We need ...

Hi all,

Today I found myself having to pretend to eat something for the second time. My supervisor brought back candy from Switzerland and I didn't have the heart to turn it down. I put the candy in my mouth and just kind of left it sitting there for like 10 minutes, then I spit it out as soon as I left.

On another occassion, a coworker brought back candy from Iran. I didn't want ...

:x I do not know why its so hard for me stay focused. In my mind it tells me that i am hungry but my stomach says i am not. I know it sound weird but i really do feel full from my shakes. I need to really suceed at this diet this time around because my job is so stressful as a police officer. It is ...

I'm posting this as a follow-up to the "fat man" post. I know that post angered some and I've taken some flak for it via email.

No, I do not consider my choice in words to be insensitive. That man is FAT! I'm FAT! A good many of people reading this are FAT or they wouldn't be here reading this!

Our society has deemed the word "fat" to be insensitive. It is just a word, ...
