Today I realized I need to take a step back, re-evaluate how I'm working Medifast and recommitt myself so I can reach my goal.
While I have moved down the scale since I restared towards the end of Jan, I wasn't sticking 100% to MF, and that can and often does lead to further slip-ups and slower losses until finally feeling exasperated with myself and giving up.
Today, I am 30 pounds lighter than I was exactly this time last year when I first began MF. While that's great, I'd lost twice that amount and have since played with the same 20 lbs. up and down during the past half year. I'm tired of it, I just want to reach goal and be at a comfortable, healthy weight that allows me to work out and exercise the way I like, feel comfortable with my body and eat healthy in moderation.
So, I reread my MF handbook and "Success in a Shaker Jar" and am ready to work towards being 100% compliant. I know it's the only way to go for me towards reaching goal.
*Drinking 64-120 oz. water every day.
*Eating my MF meals 6 times/day, every 3 hours (give or take no more than one hour)
*Daily exercise no more than 45 min. walks & toning
*Daily allotted snacks ONLY. No "extras" even if it's "only veggies"
The funny thing is, once I'm in my "MF-Zone", I feel so great I don't even want to cheat. I feel light, healthy, energetic, beautiful, happy... It's just so hard for me to get into that Zone after cheating.
So, last year at this time I began MF and made it more than half-way to goal. I guess that was just practice so I can make it all the way to goal this year.
Reading everyone's success, struggles, suggestions, and just words of encouragement does so much to keep me going. I wonder if many of you realize how much you motivate and inspire many of us by some little thing you may have said, the struggles you too face, and especially, your successes you share. If not, then let me tell you how much you mean to me and if you already know, keep it up.
I'm so happy for everyone whose having success and moving towards their goal every day.
For those of us struggling for a myriad of reasons, I know we can do it too, let's just refocus and get back to work, 'cause we know it works.
Cheers to everyone here for a healthy, happy, and successful year as we all reach our goal.
LAwoman! I am with you! 
Definately, an awesome post 
I will recommit myself as well. I want to be near or at my goal for my birthday (June). Time for me to add that exercise thing 
but the obsession with quitting/smoking was a constant I couldnt be happy in my quit because I wasn't "really" quit. When I finally smoked my last cig in Sept 05 I chose, at that time, that, that was the last cig ever, no if's ands or buts.
