Yesterday completes my first (consecutive!) three weeks of the shakes-only plan, and, guess what? Today is just another in the line of fire I'm waging to get this work acomplished. There's no better time, and I THINK I'm strong enough to do it. With that thought in mind, let me say that it's working, and working almost beyond my expectations. In the third week, I lost five pounds!! WHO would think there'd be sufficient oomph in my body or in this diet to accomplish that in a worn, 46-y/o metabolism? Yet, it's true, and it's worth every day that I invest in making it happen. So I won't be stopping today, or this week. How 'bout you?

I look forward to another week, and from news of you other Medifasters. This is probably one of the oddest challenges I've ever taken on. Sometimes, I admit that it's a bit scary wondering if I can really eat "just that" and not crash, but each and every day I wake up feeling just like myself -------- only better. My shorts are looser. I'm not as subdued by carbohydrates and trying to avoid thinking of/knowing about what I wish I hadn't eaten. I'm experiencing some unprecedented periods of organization and freedom. I really do feel fine. Thanks to everyone here for the experiences we share.

Good morning/afternoon everyone !

Congrats on your success DutchChoc--looks like you will reach your goal in no time! And I'm right along with you--won't be stopping any time soon. Seems like I want to eat something everyday--not strong cravings or anything, but the brain, naturally, is still stimulated by food and misses it! But I know I won't eat anything--I'm just about four weeks in, so I don't expect a big disconnect so soon.

Well, after Aunt Flo packed up and left, the scale started moving again. I'm down 4.5lbs this week, and hoping that by my full week, on Tuesday, that I will be down another 1.5lbs so I can become a member of the 30lb club!
Hope everyone is doing well . Here's to a successful shakin' week !

Hi all!

I'm going to be weighing on Saturdays because that's when I started Phase 2 (yesterday). I had been playing around for a month and decided (with help from you all) to get in gear and lose the last 35-40 pounds. I can do it in 10 weeks, or ten months => I decided 10 weeks. :-)

It's amazing how great I feel drinking the shakes. Energy to burn. Light and healthy.

Here's to us!

I'm not sure I've EVER looked this forward to a weigh-in, especially since I'm trying to break my habit of hopping on the scales every day--SIGH--BUT this morning I weighed in 10 pounds lighter than when i started, and it hasn't been a full week yet! I just wanted to get on track with the board weigh-in. I'm happy. Hubby lost eight pounds...he is doing this with me experimentally, but he really does not have much to lose (darn him! LOL) and will probably be doing the modified plan within a month (or so we think)!

Hip, Hip, HOORAY!

Lost 2 lbs this week. Slow and steady the scales are GOIN' DOWN.

Everyone have a great week!

Congrats to all you losers!!!! Gee, I'm jealous. I'm deadlocked again at 186/187. Can't get to that additional four pound loss to put me in the 30 pound club. I'm not discouraged though. I've gone through this before.

Hip Hip Hooray to all of us for having the COURAGE and DETERMINATION to be on the MF plan.
Monday was the end of my second week and I am down a total of 13 pounds! YAHOO! That was 5.5 pounds in one week.
Good luck everyone!
One shake at a time.

I just started on Friday, so this is just a 2 day result for me. I'll modify my weekly weigh-in to be on Sundays from now on. But I did lose 3.5 pounds in my first two days and am feeling fine and strong so far!

Hey, everyone - Weigh to go!!

Welcome to the downward spiral where being a loser is really being a winner!
