Congradulations on 5 lbs Maddie thats great !

I've lost 2 pounds this week. it had been a really hard week for me since Aunt flo was here and I wasn't always 100% faithful. I am glad to have lost 2 pounds considering that- but Flo packed up and left so I am looking forward to having a fresh start today and to starting my deep end water aerobics classes tommorrow. I know if we all commit ourselves to this we can and will succeed and if you fall just get back on the horse. SHAKE those hips away!!

One pound down this despite dear Auntie's visit and my "stressful not sticking to plan week." I'm giving up modified for a week and doing the full fast with the celery, boullion, fastsoup and crackers to re-jump start my ketosis. Today is the third day and with the exception of eating more celery than on plan (probably 6-8 stalks) and some cauliflower last night at work, I have been faithful. (Who ever heard of a binge on cauloiflower and celery???) But that's what I had last night...

I am planning on a BIG WHOPPER loss at the end of this week and stepping up the exercise a bit this week as my son will be in VBS during the day and I can sneak off to the gym by myself each day.

Hugs and encouragement to everyone this week. I'm passing my positive vibes on to you!!!

-3.5 for me which puts me at 154.5. Since my restart, tomorrow will actually be a full week b/c I restarted on a Monday. Halfway was 155.5, that's 40lb yay! *whew!* It has been a trying road and I'm afraid the next half might take even longer, but it's time well spent considering in the past, this would have been time just sitting on my laurels gaining more weight. I can't wait to reach my goal. I was hoping I would be a skinny mini by my birthday, but it may be much longer than that. I should at the very least be 3/4 of the way there by my bday though. I hope everyone is doing well these days and hope that we all stick with it and join our buddies here who have made huge leaps and bounds and those that are also at their goals!

I weighed on the scales at the doctor's office on Friday (same scales I used for beginning weight) Officially, I have lost 36 pounds in 7 weeks on Medifast, which breaks down to 5.14 pounds per week, for those 7 weeks.

Works for me! woo woo

Finally! After a 1lb wt loss the past few weeks I finally lost another 1.5 to put me into the 20 lb club! I still have another 20-30 that I want to lose and I feel great. My clothes are falling off but I don't want to really buy a lot of new things until I reach my goal.

I'm a little late posting but I lost 2 pounds. :-)

I can pull my underwear up to my arm pits. The pants I bought 3 weeks ago are hanging on me already. I got a "Are you losing weight?" at a picnic over the weekend. Very nice!

BUT, I've been getting lazy about my journal and water and nibbling. Back to basics for me!!!!!

I am very encouraged by a total loss of 56#s. I am also encouraged that I can actually see the loss now.
Love, Janet

My husband has lost 50 pounds in the same 7 weeks that we have been on Medifast. MEN! It's just not fair

I am so proud of Champ! He has gone from 288 to 238. It is just melting off him.

I am posting (in despair) this week. I generally do not post on the “roll call” topic, but I gained 5 pounds exactly. I need to confess, and this is the only place I can comfortably do it. I have been fluctuating about 1 pound over my original loss of 223 @ 224. This morning I weighed in at 228.4!! YIKES. That is a S-T-O-P point for me, as I do the same thing as Nancy. I have worked too hard for this, and am not blowing it now. This is the second time (in about 6 months of maintenance) I have reached a 5 pound gain, and the second time I have returned to the full fast till those 5 pounds drop.

I do have a non excuse, excuse. I went to a swimming party (Yes he swims - and he burns) Saturday, and indulged, not bad, but indulged more than I should have. Sunday was Fathers day, and the “yearly” breakfast buffet at the in-laws (he indulges again) and last night, I played cards in a Casino, and actually ate something I normally do not (it included SUGAR). I know for fact these are only temporary pounds. How do I know this? Because I still monitor everything that passes my lips. I planned on each of these items I ate this weekend, knowing full well I would gain 3-4-5 pounds. I know they are NOT fat pounds, but a temporary gain, that I will probably have off by Wednesday.

I like and live by Nancy’s 5 pound rule. When I hit the 5# PLUS mark, I instantly go back on the full fast. My Mom came over last week, and dropped off a months supply (Dutch Choc packets) of the Medifast and I am on shake 3 for the day now.

I will keep you posted (if your interested) on my loss of the “nasty 5”

Mike,

Thanks for your post. Of course we are interested in your 5 pound quest! And of course I will be here for you just like you are for me and everybody else.

Also, I found this very helpful. As I go down the road to thinness, I often think about what I will do once I'm there. It's a little scary because the weight loss phase only lasts for a few months, but maintenance is forever. It is good both to understand your philosophy and to see how diligently you are actually implementing it. That is the key - not to let 5 turn into 10 and 10 to 20...

Good luck and please report back on your progress!

Sylvia
