On my first day back on program my daughter threw up in the car on the way to daycare. I was off that day from school so of course I wanted to keep her but everyone says I have to drop her off 5 days a week or else she will never get use to it. Anyway, I pulled into the closest supermarket and cleaned everything up then went in to get her some bread for her belly. I waited in a long long line then when I was third in line a cashier pulled me to her register, then realized she had no cash in her drawer. I waited another 5 minutes before jumping back into another line. Then the lady infront of me had a bunch of wic coupons and couldn't speak English and was trying to argue with the cashier about the coupon. I spent about 30 minutes in line for bread for my hungry heavy baby that's jumping around on my hip trying to grab everything-- after cleaning up vomit that was now stewing in my car. I was about to loose my mind! :x The fact that I couldn't grab one of the 100 kinds of chocolate that I was staring at for those 30 mins didn't help either! Before I snapped at everyone, I checked myself and convinced myself to simmer down. :roll:

Geez! Well, the positive side of that is that I didn't grab the candy, my baby finally got her bread, and she didn't throw up at daycare because she got it out of the way in the car :roll:

Thanks holberry for sharing your story! I watch my neice at night while my sister works and so it would be great if she returned the favor in the day while I am at school but she too goes to school in the day so I wasn't so lucky this semester. Maybe next semester she can do it...or Geli' will stop vomiting.

Hawaii is great weather wise!!!! I love that I can adjust the temperature of my home very accurately by adjusting the degree to which my window is open. I live near the ocean so the tradewinds are really strong. Little chilli? Close the window a tad and the weather inside is perfect!

They say that indoor air is 5X more polluted than outdoor air except for those who keep their windows open so I dig that aspect of it too!

Don't get too envious though! I pay over 700 for daycare, well over 3.50 a gallon for gas, and a gallon of milk is 5 dollars ON SALE! Oh, and my husband pays 12 dollars a day to park near his work in a dirt lot!

I lost another pound today! I am loving it! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Got an "A" on my test :mrgreen: I don't need an "A". I just need a "C" to pass and get my degree, but if I don't get an "A" on a test it just ruins my week! I got a 98 on the first and second midterms and then I got an 88 on the third and I was crushed for days! I didn't study much for that one so I got what I deserved! :oops:

Why cant I apply that to my MF goals :x I need to figure out how to get my mind set on being satisfied only with an "A" in Medifast.

Anyway, this morning was bad scale wise but I am still 3lbs down from start day (last Thurday) so I am fine with it.

;) I'm off to look at role call and journals......

OK - so, next time I get a free airline ticket, I want to come to visit you!!! I am so jealous. Don't you just laugh at people who are never happy where they are? I do like Ohio though - because it always changes weather wise.

Congratulations on your A. I was a perfectionist at school too, but that can get stressful - so be careful.

Thanks for coming to my place! I am so glad you are back!!!

Aloha!

Today was good! The scale went down another lb and I can't wait until Thursday when I can get my official week one weight loss totals and move that ticker!

I love that I started a new ticker. The zero lost so far thing is very motivating. I don't want to discount my success from last year, but hey, it's been a while and now it's time for a fresh start.

Steph just got back from Morrocco and she restarted yesterday. She seems fired up so I am sending good vibes her way. I can't wait for my annual visit to FL in August! I hope she blows me away! I know she will!

I am soooo sick of the food! I did only choc shakes for a while, then I got sick of them and went to strawberry. I am now getting sick of that and so tried choc again.....no likey likey.....hummm.....I think I better dig into my pantry and retry the ones collecting dust. They say your tastebuds change right? We will see!

Good Night!

Katie is right - 3 pounds is great! Keep it up and you'll see how quickly those pounds will add up.

Thank you for your positive energy!

Okay I created my freaky school nerd plan of action and I love it.

I download the body for life journal page off of the website and write my plan for the day on the left column. Then I write the actual on the right.

At the end of the day I grade myself based on:
50pts possible for eating all 6 meals
20pt possible for water
5pt for proper spacing
20 for eating all veggies ( :-P )
-10pt for extra meal/questionable content in lean and green (ie. ceasar dressing on side at restaurant)
-5pt for extra snack

yesterday's grade was 77 and today was 71. :?

I like this method so far because it motivates me to be better. For instance, my husband asked me if i wanted a soda and I said, "no, i better have at least 3 glasses of water with dinner instead to keep that grade up."

My downfall this week is that I have been so busy with school that we have been eating out everynight. I order what i believe is fair but restaurants hide all kinds of nonsense and don't have nut labels so I never feel like I had a great MF day.

I have this weekend to recooperate and go grocerie shopping and preplan the this week's meals so I am looking forward to "A's"! I also have a paper to write this weekend and I promised to help my friends too.....I'll fit it all in somehow....

:?: Please give me your opinion on the grading system. Should I put more weight on a certain section? did I miss something very important that should be included in the grading system?

Oh, and does it take forever to get a link on this page to pop up for you? I try to participate more in this forum but it's soooooo slow! I have road runner and my other searches are fast. :?:

Aloha, Charity!

Thank you SO much for this post ~ what a spectacular idea!

Total geek that I am, I think that this will really help me. A lot. My main problem lately has been appropriate spacing of meals... BUT, I've been completely on plan since I began, so yay for me! The only thing I'll be doing differently is making the points equal 100 ~ like 50 pts for eaing all 6 meals, 25 for water, and 25 for spacing. All I'll really have to work on is the spacing, and I'm all about getting those As, so this'll be a great incentive for me!

You ROCK!!!

p.s. There's a thread in the Web Room about the sluggish issues this site has been experiencing, but Unca's on it and it should be resolved soon! Yeah, 'cause Unca rocks, too! :D

Hasta!

Thanks for the advise!

I did up the spacing points because that is a big issue here.

bonus points? Hum....didn't think of that! That would be a great idea! If i mess up a little and have an extra snack (that PB just calls to me sometimes!), I can partially redeem myself by drinking more water......excellent!

I just got my PB powder in the mail and I am not thrilled with the taste! Boo! I really wanted to like it. I will try it on the choc bar and in a shake and see if it's okay like that. OH boy, a pb and J shake sounds super super good!

Tomorrow is official weigh in day for me and with aunt flo I am only 2 down! Let's see what the scale fairy does overnight!

Have a great day y'all! :mrgreen:

I got a 100% yesterday and I am well on my way to another 100%

:angel:

It was so friggin easy to do too! :dooh:

I am loving my grading system! I looked at a piece of cheese in the fridge yesterday and I said to myself, "self, you are going to get a 100% today so no cheese, darn it!"

The site it slow again! I have no tolerance for slow internet! :lol: I don't know why, but it's one of those things that just gets under my skin! I think it's because I am ususally working on homework that has a close deadline....

Have a great day!

Aloha all!

I had chronic headaches and so I went to see the doctor. I told her that I suspected it had something to do with me starting the nursing program and falling off program and eating junk food.

She then told me that I should stop medifast all together because I am not fat enough for it! Also, because it doesn't teach you how to eat right, you just gain the weight back when you quit.

I have gained about 8 pounds since quitting :oops: , but I disagree with her....

Anyway, I keep wondering if I should get a second opinion....

I love reading about your sucesses folks! Thanks for posting!
