All that hard work and now what? Let's talk about how to keep those pounds off...

Hallelujah! 10 months and 2 weeks after starting Medifast...

I MADE IT TO MY ORIGINAL GOAL!!!!!!! I weighed myself this morning and to my utter surprise :shock: the scale said 120.2. I honestly never thought this day would get here. I'm in total shock. For the first time in my weight loss life I actually set a goal and made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing feels better than that. I am so happy.

Thanks so much for everyone's support ...

A Potpourri of thoughts regarding the Big 'M'

Serendipity and others, you mentioned that maintenance scares you...
and we had dialogue about the importance of staying connected once we've reached our weight goal. I've tried to teach others to learn all we can during the weight loss phase of our program - it will help pave the way for maintenance and life long weight control.

Maintainers need to be retainers….

We are in training right now for maintenance. It is needful to retain ...

Starting Again

Advice

I've been on the diet for awhile, struggling, but I am completing my term papers this week. I'm finding that I need more energy to fuel my brain and have considered going off the diet momentarily to really put all of my fuel into my papers. I study philosophy so it is really essential I have the resources to focus. Any advice?

Thanks!

Transition -- Adding Dairy :)

Well, today will be my first dairy day. i've decided to add yogurt because i actually hate cottage cheese and most things dairy. i am looking forward to the yogurt though.

Last weigh-in I was up .5. Today i'm down .4. phew! i'm glad that so far i'm fluctuating within the 122 lbs. the fruit was good. i've had apples and oranges so far. I'm getting my groceries tonight (thank God for safeway.com) and i ...

1st week of transition down!

So my first week of transition is over. It was quite uneventful. A extra cup of veggies for a week is kinda boring to me. Although since being on Medifast, I've learned to love veggies (which is really weird for me). Anyway, I weighed today and my weight went up by .5 this week, which i don't think matters much. i didn't lose the 2 pounds so I still weigh 122. Oh well, (i'm learning ...
