First things first, allow me to thank you all. Your words truly are gifts to me!

Kim, I think that your idea of sharing a "nutshell" story is a good one. I am pleased to comply and hope that everyone else will do the same.

I went from a size 14 to a 4-6 in 23 weeks & 1 day. Start date May 22, goal reached November 1. I did no real excersize program but managed to get in 10k steps on most days. For the most part I did 5&1, though there was a hungry period toward the end when I did 6&1. Cheat, sure, to some extent... I refused, from the get go, to give up my Lighthouse Blue Cheese salad dressing. On occasion I would have a hard boiled egg, some cottage cheese, or a few spicy peanuts as a snack. Sometimes a couple ounces of wine even managed to sneak into my seltzer. I would highly recommend that newbies use fitday dot com, or a similar tool. I wish that I had found it sooner! All in all, for me, MF was the best way for me to shed the pounds. I have lost muscle. As soon as my calories are up to about 1300, I will begin (again) doing some light free weights and pilates along with the 10k steps. I found that, truthfully, I did not have the energy to "excersize" while staying MF compliant. I also noticed that while calories were 800-900, everything, for me, was bigger. As in, I wasn't able to handle things physically or emotionally as well as I can when I am consuming more calories. Interesting!

So, there you have it. I received thie following in an e-mail from MyMedifast. I think these are words for us losers to live by...
‘Mindfulness’ is one of those vague words you often see in magazines, but what does it really mean? Being mindful means being present in the moment, not an easy task in the rush of everyday life. With practice, though, it can be done. Being mindful helps us become more aware of our behaviors and our goals. It can cause us to slow down and really take some time to look at what we are doing.


Again I thank you, my Medi-friends for the kindness that you have extended to me through the last months!
Amber
