I have been reading a lot about family history and being obese. I guess research groups have isolated a gene that pre-disposes us to being overweight. :x My curious mind was wondering, how many of us were raised in an overweight / obese household. :?: I know I was. The eating habbits I learned as a child have followed ...

Has anyone gone through slump in their weightloss? I am in my 5th week on Medifat and for the past 3 days I have had no motivation to eat at all. I have lost a total of 21 lbs since I started but that isn't even motivating me. If feels like I am depressed but I don't know why. What should I do?

Good Morning,

I was reading a book last night. (Don't remember the exact name.)

The part I was reading was about words we speak to ourselves, others, and also the words spoken to us as we grew up.

I don't know when or how I new I was heavier than others. I just always knew. In high school, it was not a lot more, but I knew I needed to be careful. I didn't. My ...

from Disney. (For newbies check the Studio.) My mother sent me the coolest news! Dandan is what we called my maternal grandmother.
My mother's email:

I just spent a few hours on Ancestry.com tracing various branches of our family tree back yet a few more generations, and found something sort of cool.

Short version:

Dandan's paternal grandmother was Kate (Lander) Lister. Kate's maternal grandmother was named Lucy Sutherland. Lucy's paternal grandmother was Mary DePriest, whose ...

Hi all, Today is my first day of using medifast. I am very encouraged by all of the entries I have read. I am really going to give this my all so I can be a happier, healthier woman, mom, and wife. I exercise regularly 3 times a week but just increased it to 4-5 times a week. I believe this will help me achieve my goal weight. I would love any suggestions for my ...

This is an article I copied and saved for later use. I think it is good reading for those of you who want to begin exercising or who already are.

Heart Rate Zone Training
When you're taking your heart rate you measure it in beats per minute (counting the number of beats for 60 seconds). For convenience, many people take their pulse for 6 seconds and multiply that number by 10, or simply add a ...

I am trying to upload a personal avatar that is no more than 120 pixels and it is not uploading. Every time I try I get error messages. I have tried uploading from a file on my computer AND uploading from a picture hosting site. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Good Morning !

Well the 'whoosh" happened and I have lost another 3.5 pounds today ! (Do I mark my ticker or wait until next Sundays roll call?) I am so thrilled and can't wait for more to come off ! Is it too early to start excercising??? I thought of taking a 20 minute walk this morning....

Hi all, especially Jan,

Thanks for encouraging me to start again. Last Thursday I started at 246.5 and today...Monday, I am down to 236.5. I know in the beginning a lot of loss is from just water, not fat, but I am excited over what the scale says. It is so much better than getting on the scale and gaining. I want to encourage any other procrastinators who are waiting to try the diet to ...
