I have been on diets so long I think I forgot what it means. The word diet has become a dirty word so I looked it up.

Diet - to choose certain foods to improve health or lose weight.

The word that gets me is choose. I am not being forced - I am making a quality decision - how empowering. At the end of the day the choice I make about what I eat ...

My husband paid me the kindest backhanded compliment this past weekend....we were in Daytona Beach walking in a crowd and I was some ways ahead of him. Well, he told me he lost me in the crowd as he could no longer recognize me from behind. After this many years he couldnt recognize my butt as it has gotten too small!

I could have kissed him, right there and then. Brings new meaning to -small- ...

Okay I just wanted to give an update on how my first day went doing mix'n'match medifast products.

Couple of weeks back I tried just the 5 shakes and L&G for a week...but got so bored with it :? and gave up on the diet :oops: . But after posting the question here and getting the answers that I ...

Well I just wanted to share a little something that we had been doing at work. On January 2nd my work started a Biggest Loser Contest. The manager was going to pay $100 for the person who lost the most %. Well since Januray 2nd I lost 26 pounds. I came in second place! I had 2 male co-workers that had been taking stacker pills to lose the weight. I did all natural until I ...

Goodbye is not always a bad thing, for some reason the last few days I have been thinking about my goodbye's and I feel compelled to share with all of my new friends.

6 yrs ago I said GOODBYE to my Dad. It was so very hard and I miss him every day but, I said HELLO to the acceptance that his death was his decision that had obviously been thought out and not a ...

So, I went clothes shopping today for the first time since starting Medifast. When I started back in January, I was wearing a 26 in bottoms. 24 in tops. I had one pair of 24s that fit, but I always had a roll from my stomach hanging over the top. Well, my 24s have been loose lately, but I figured it might just be the brand of jeans. The sizes for Zanadi jeans always seem ...

Hey all you helpfull MFers...

I have a question about sodium. I am wondering if I am too free with sodium causing me to retain water, and slow down my weight.

I use boullion in my soups and to flavor veggies, soy sauce in my stir fry, etc. etc. Is there a set amount of sodium that I should use and not go beyond.

Today I am trying to be more careful about my sodium ...

So this is my 9th week on MF and for the most part I can honestly say that I usually don't get hungry. However, yesterday and today I have noticed that I have been a tad hungry in between my meals. I really am not doing anything differently - why do you think I would be hungry? Any comments would be appreciated.

I am still battling a cold/allergies and have not been feeling up to ...

Ok, I caved last night. After a meeting yesterday, hubby and I went out to eat (at my favorite restaurant, no less!) with a group of friends. Hubby proceeded to order shrimp scampi appetizers. My absolute all time favorite thing to eat at this restaurant!! Six big tender shrimp in a delicious lemon/butter/garlic and wine sauce. Hubby picked out the smallest one and scraped the sauce off of it for me and put it on ...

Dear Diary,

This is my first day and it has been pretty smooth! I am committed for today and I will get up tomorrow with a new commitment for the days journey.

I started a aniexty, stress and depression CBT today. It is self-help - so I helped myself.

Not sure where this is going to take me - but I am going to enjoy the ride. I don't have a certain destination in mind ...
