:lol: Day 6 and going strong!!

Postby female1978 » January 16th, 2004, 9:32 pm

Tomorrow will end my first week on the full fast and I actually feel great! Because I've decided to weigh-in only once a month, I don't know how much weight I've actually lost, however, I can totally tell that I have indeed lost a few pounds!

I started at about 295. And although I've always been overweight since a young child, I don't lead a sedentary life in the least bit. I've been fortunate that the only medical condition associated with my obsesity include slightly high cholesterol (217) and depression.

I am very encouraged to begin the program and look forward to my future success. I know the road will not be easy but I'm ready for the challenge. Luckily, I live alone and have removed all evil food products from my home. All that remains in my cupboards: Medifast, tea and splenda. In the fridge: Water and diet pepsi.

I'm grateful for this forum and looking forward to give and get lots of support!

Hi Female and welcome,
Sounds like you're doing fantastic. I think you've found the perfect answer for the two medical probs you described.
Enjoy the forum and keep us posted,

Hello Friend,

Postby Bseaton » January 18th, 2004, 11:55 am

Glad to see your progress just keep it coming it sounds like we started about the same. I started on Jan 1 with the full fast and i have only done the shakes and water nothing else because i did not want to temp myself and end up giving in. I am currently on Day 18 and i feel really good. I have lost several inches in my waist and friends are starting to tell me i have lost weight in my face (Not exactly where i had planned on losing the weight but losing is losing). We had to move some furniture around this weekend and i can tell i just do not have the strength i used to but as long as i do not do anything that hard i am fine. When i started my Bloodpressure was high and so was my Cholesterol and like you i am only weighing once a month. I went to the doctor before i started and have appointments planned every month at the end to get weighed and checked out. Keep in touch and stay strong me and you both can do this. :lol:

Dear Female 1978 and Barry ~

I am so glad that you two are posting to our forum now. It will be great to read of your progress.

Barry, you mentioned that folks had noticed your weight loss in your face. Actually, that is a very common observation. We tend to put on weight from the bottom up and lose it from the top down. :roll: Sometimes people think we’ve gotten a hair cut or changed our hair style when in fact; we’ve changed our eating habits.

Like many people who post to our Forum, I didn’t tell anyone at my work place that I was on a weight loss plan and didn’t even tell my parents or brother until they saw me. It was really a good feeling to hear their comments. :o

I don’t know how you do it, weighing but once a month. I know, I know, I AM anal…I weighed every ten minutes! Hah!

I still weigh every day – not twice a day but once a day. I was really obsessed with seeing that little needle go down on the scale every day.
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels...
