Congratulations on how well you have done, so far. In the end you feel better and a half a pound is not the end of the world. you definitely have the long term in mind and have a good plan and good ideas to keeping it up so I doubt you'll be anything but great. Excellent advice about re-starting

Good morning T!!!! Hope you slept!

154# this morning. Not feeling well, earaches, sore throat and coughing. Second cold in less than 3 weeks. I took Tylenol PM last night, hoping it would help with the earaches and sleeping. I was awake often (ear pain) but fell right back to sleep after sniveling a bit (ok, a whole bunch of sniveling to myself about how much my ears hurt and how miserable I feel). I took a hot shower, letting the spray beat on my face and that did help a bit. I do not think there is a Saturday clinic open and I am not going to the emergency room for earaches, I am not ( I pray the pain goes away on its own).

I'll see everyone tomorrow...glad you are doing so well!

Oh! 154# this morning.

[bikipatra]

I'm so sorry you're in pain. I HAVE gone to the ER over ear infections. They HURT! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

[bikipatra]

Hey T. Hope you are feeling better and your aches are all gone. xxooo

[Tawanda]

153.0# this morning.

Only 1 more pound and I can request to rejoin the 60# club!

Still sick, ears still hurt but not as badly.

Thanks for checking in...

Oh T, I am sorry you are going through all of this pain. Hopefully you will go to the Doctors tomorrow and get some medicine.

But on the other hand you are rocking it girl 153 yahoo.......

At this point of dough-girlness if I weighed 153 pounds I would put on my bathing suit and run out into the street in 19 degree weather! Great job. Congrats on rejoining the 60 club!

hope you will feel well soon

Yay for 60# pounds down and gone!

[Tawanda]

Oops! Nope, I'm not at 60# gone yet, I am at 59#...looking forward to getting 1 more pound off before I can request my 60# club label back. I absolutely hated having Unca Tim change me from the 60# club to the 30# club, I avoided confessing how much weight I had gained back for quite awhile, too ashamed to admit the true number and constantly hoping that I could get things under control (my appetite and mindset). Finally, I just decided I wasn't fooling anyone and I was just making myself feel badly over something silly.

At my heaviest I weighed 222#, 102# over what I weighed after the birth of my second child. The day that I ordered my medifast I weighed 216# . While waiting for my MF order to arrive, I used S**mFast that I had in my cupboard. I was excited, motivated and impatient. By the time the MF arrived, I weighed 212....and that is the weight that I've used as my starting weight even though I consider 216 my true starting weight. I do get mentally bogged down with minute details and wanting to be 'accurate'. What a dweeb!

Anyway, I've considered changing my ticker to 216....but then the legalist detailed oriented little angel (or devilish one) on my shoulder says "that really isn't correct" and then the mental debating begins. LOL The only benefit that I would get, truly, from raising my ticker to starting at 216, is that I would be able to be in the 70# club when I hit 146....LOL....and that does sound good.

So, anyway.....according to my ticker I am at 59# lost....I'm 69# down from my highest weight.....and I am ...... getting caught up in silly things that truly do not matter in the long run. It is so easy for me to do......

I am 6# above my goal weight, still hope to see those 6# gone by the end of this month. I do not know if I will start transition at 147 (this time doing Transition properly and according to the Medifast plan) or if I will stay on 5/1 for awhile longer and drop some more weight before transitioning.

Oh! Yesterday I tried on a pair of my size 6 jeans.....and was able to, comfortably, wear them all day! These past few pounds have made a huge difference in the fit of my clothes. I did not think I would be able to get the jeans over my bum, but I did...and then I thought "they won't zip!" and they did! I thought "they'll be too tight to wear all day" and they weren't!!!

I love Medifast and what it has enabled me to accomplish!

[bikipatra]

woo-hoo!!!! Major NSV on the size 6 jeans!!!!!

[sidrah]

Try out Excedrin PM. I never had it ebfore and had the same symptoms as you, finally broke down and took it, and WOWWW. Either it worked great cause it was new to me or it is just that good. It was one of the best blocks of 3 or 4 nights of sleep I have had in a while....and I feel better.

Anyway, I believe 60+ is looming on the horizon and you will get there very soon.

[Joy]

I am very happy for you are feeling so positive and jazzed about your weight loss.

154# this morning. Still coughing, stuffy nose, earaches but it does seem to be improving.....very slowly--too slowly.....LOL Now I have pink eye in both eyes and had to soak them in order to get them open this morning. I've had it with this cold! I look as bad as I feel.....yeah, I'm having a pity party for one.

Don't know why the scale jumped up a pound, just glad it didn't happen yesterday morning and hope it is gone by next Sunday.

Hope everyone has a good day!

OH! sidrah, I have tried the Excedrin PM but find that the Tylenol PM works better for me. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Last night I slept okay without taking anything. I woke often but was able to fall back to sleep. I can deal with that better than waking and being unable to fall back to sleep after only 3 hours in bed.

Again, hope everyone has a great On Program day!
