Hi Krandle,
Don't feel too bad....3 pounds in a week is totally within range of the expected weight loss on Medifast. I have been steadily losing just about every week - except for this past one. I am actually .5 lb higher than last Sunday - so I'm totally bummed!!
Thanks Christi for pointing out that we'll have some great weeks and some average weeks! (and some not so good weeks...) I do have to take some responsibility for my disappointment though....this is the first week that I actually went "off plan". I did it twice - once on Wednesday when I went out for lunch...my friend & I went to my FAVORITE restaurant which I have been avoiding like the plague for fear of cheating! I actually didn't do TOO bad because I ordered a shredded beef soft taco and only ate the beef & not the tortilla, but I did indulge in some chips/salsa. That same evening I got right back on plan and was pleased that the next morning I didn't show a gain. Then the 2nd time this week I went off plan was last night....YUCK....I hate to even admit what I did....I went to the movies with my mom for an early mother's day thing & I ordered....yes...you're right....POPCORN.....I ate about 1/2 the bag and was so mad for compromising myself. I actually told myself that 25 pounds was a good point to have a "cheat" and if I didn't lose this week then it would be ok. So, now I have to deal with the consequences...but this morning I've had my shake and have full intentions of completing this week PERFECTLY so that next Sunday, I'll have a loss again.
Krandle, I was wondering how did you lose the first chunk of weight if you just started on Medifast 3 weeks ago?? I noticed you're nearing the 90 # club, so I just wondered how you dropped the othe 60-70 pounds....you're doing great!!! How much more do you want to lose? Maybe you're getting to the end & I've heard/read everywhere that those "last" pounds are the most stubborn
ones to get rid of...
