The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Hi, Everyone.
This has been the first week that I have been on the program in years. It is interesting how we loose the weight, keep it off for a while, and then life happens. During times of stress, I tend to go back to old habits of overeating. I overeat for companionship, for support, and to fill the void that could be filled by exercise or more fulfilling relationships.

I started the program again ...

Yippeee!!!

I made it through day 1 without cheating and the scale was soo nice to me this morning. I know that if I just stay positive and keep thinking about my 20 lb baby goal, I would be fine.

Yesterday morning I was 239 and this morning I was 236.5. I know is mainly water weight but heck- who cares as long as Im lighter, take all the water you want from me. ...

After a year and some odd days, I have decided its time to rejoin the forum and jump back on the medifast program again. Today is day one and I weighed in at 239. Im pleased with myself considering when I moved back home to Hawaii in September 08 I was 268.

I know that medifast works. I know that if Im compliant I will lose weight fast... BUT the problem is.............. BEING COMPLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ...

Well, this is annoying to have to do, but I'm going to post new pictures. I haven't seen them yet but I'm sure they're awful. I just wanted to start fresh since I'm essentially starting all over again. I remember how fun it was to post progress pictures and I'm looking forward to having a new set on here in a few months. Since we're doing this 180-day thing, I'll post halfway through and at ...

Week 1
* Down 16lbs in the first week. Obviously that's not sustainable - I would more expect 2-3lbs a week
* The first day and a half, I was pissing like a racehorse. Medifast must really reduce the water a body retains. That's probably responsible for the big change above. A gallon of water is 8lbs.
* Medifast is best eaten as a paste. This next part is gross, but hopefully useful to someone: ...

I am a newbie, and a lurker, I have been around for a while and remember when the board was slamming. Roll call has been a wee bit lonely so I wanted to encourage all those thinking of starting/restarting or just getting back on the wagon to come on in. Let's really get this board hopping again. Have you given up? Are you embarrassed? A wee lazy? I am here to say there is strenghth ...

Hey All,

So this is my journal huh? Well let me put down some of my goals. I have decided a complete redo, or 180 degree turn is needed. I am 43, will be 44 way to soon, I weigh 250 lbs, have not been as financially sound as I should be. For those who do not know Dave Ramsey, check out his site or radio programs. The premise, is debt free. So debt free, ...

Hey Ya'll,

Sweet Tea and Grits have led me to you. I am a GA Girl...ok 43 not exactly a girl...but you get the idea. I name myself Complete 180 because I am attemting to do a physical, mental and financial 180. You can call me 180 for short :D

My order is in, I hope to start Tuesday or Wednesday depending on time order arrives. ...

I removed the text that was here originally.

I didn't ask for my weigh in to be moved from mid-thread and edited as if I'd offered it up for a self introduction. That made the post into a feeble intro with a lame title. I didn't submit it that way, and monkeying with my post made me angry.

I am like 70/30 on the side of going to work in San Diego. Can you explain to me the reciprocal process for certification. I know the websites say whatever, but I thought real person answers might be better.


I know I need a TB and CA clearance for fingerprints test, anything else?
Is the state test hard? I figure if I passed NY's tests I am going to be okay.


Anyone actually in San ...
