Goodmorning all you Medifasters! I hope everyone had a good week and have losses to report! Hope you had a good week even if you don't have a loss to report!

I'm happy to say that I've dropped a happy 3 lbs this week and I'm now through the door of the 50lb club. Wahhhhhooooo!!!!! FINALLY I think I found out the reason why my weight loss was stalling a bit. Well, for the past month and a half or so my lean consisted of either chicken or shrimp. I figured hey, it's lowest in fat so, great! Well, apparently to eat this is fine probably a few days a week, it wasn't fine everyday. My body adjusted itself to this and said, whoa, I think we're starving. So, as soon as I added lean beef back to the mix, I dopped three pounds in 2 days. Could be coincidence, but I don't think so. But I think my body needed a little shake up. So, I think I'll be adding beef back into the rotation a couple of times a week to keep my body from knowing what I'm doing hehe.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Gooooooooooooooooood Sunday morning all my medifamily friends

I hope you've all had a blessed and happy week!! Lynne.....congratulations on the 50lb club sweetie.......that is FANNNNNNNNNNNNNNTABULOUS!! And Ania.......30#Club.......yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I'm so proud and happy for both of you

As for me...........well GOOD LAWD I've done RUN AMOK!! I am up 3.2 lbs for the week and that all happened Friday and Saturday!!

Ok......yesterday I had 2 shakes in the morning before heading off to see my friend's new house being built. Had no water or anything until lunchtime........we had fried fish, fried crab cake, fried hushpuppies, baked crab, frenchfries and salad with potato salad and macaroni salad at this restaurant on the Potomac River!!! So then........one bottle of water Then on the way home I was HUNGRY so I had 2 scoops of rocky road icecream in a waffle cone And the whole time I'm eating it while walking around Blockbuster video I'm saying MY GOSH THIS IS TOO MUCH ICECREAM...........all the while licking as fast as I can because it's melting and of course I don't want to waste any of it Then........not 2 hours later I was starving again............OFF TO CHICK-FIL-A of course!! I checked my blood sugar before I went to bed to make sure I wasn't going to go into a high sugar coma

What in the WORLD happened to me yesterday??? I mean SERIOUSLY???

So this is the thought process here.........I think I've been feeling so good about myself, and so happy, and on top of the world, and I simply forgot that I'm an overweight person!! I am as much an overweight person as a man who has been sober for 5 years is still an alcoholic. Instead of being one drink away from a binge I am one FOODIE thing away from a binge I binged yesterday and have to give back my sobriety chip

We talk of one day at a time just like the AA moto.......as a probation/parole officer I know the program all to well as I teach it daily to my clients. I fell off the wagon and now I'll be starting over....fresh. I will forever be overweight regardless of what the scales say. I can never forget that I am always on the brink of throwing my recovery away. I recommit to myself and to all of you this morning that I am committed to my goal and I am committed to a LIFE OF GOOD HEALTH!!

I'm ready to celebrate all of your successes today on Roll Call Sorry for going on so long here this morning.......I'm just deep into my thought process this morning and there is no better place to recommit my program than right here with you.

SO GOOD SUNDAY MORNING EVERYONE.....WAKE UP ALL YOU SLEEPHEADS and let's all have a FANNNNNNTABULOUS WEEK!!

LOVE AND HUGS,
Christi

Good morning all....I'm down another 4 pounds this week for a total of 11 pounds in my first 2 weeks. Yippy.......I'm so excited!!!

This weekend has been a bear....I have never said "no thank you" so many times to so much food. I guess I never realized how much of this I haven't been turning down. My son is completely confused....before he could offer me a bite of anything he was having and I would accept, now it's "no thank you sweetheart"....I think it hurts his feelings sometimes....he wanted to bring me a little debbie swiss roll the other day when he was having one (which he knows I love) to which I said "no thank you" and he was truly hurt that I have not been accepting his offerings. I have told him that I have to drink the shakes with the medicine in them......it will make me much healthier....he's not completely satisified with that answer, but accepts it. They are very perceptive little monkeys!!

Everyone seems to be doing awesome so far!! I'll be glued to the forum to see how everyone else is doing!!

Have a great Sunday!

[LilMsTexas]

MARTHA........OH MY GOSH.........ONEDERLAND FOR YOU TODAY!!! YIIPPPEEEEEE AND YAHOOOOOO AND YEEEEHAAWWWWWWWWWW

Oh my gosh I'm soooooooooo excited for you this morning!!

I say again......WOW What a feeling for you today

And Ash's Mom.......11lbs in 2 weeks is AWESOME.......you're one lb away from my total first month VERY exciting!! And congratulations on all the realizations that are happening for you right now. All these "light bulb" moments are thrilling for all of us!!

You guys are doing GREAT !!! Congratulations on all of the clubs - I am back from vaction and down three pounds this week (at work so will change ticker later) - 29 in 6 weeks and knocking on the door to the 30lb club - so glad you guys are making room

Little miss - no worries - one day at a time - you will be back in the saddle in no time.

Martha - so AWESOME !!!! Onderland !!!!

Ash's mom - I know just how you feel same with my son - I have been telling him thank you, but mommy is full - thought it might help him to reflect on when he is full and can turn it down too.

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE !!! Here is to another GREAT WEEK !!! Mytime

Congrats to everyone for your losses this week. It's so motivating to see someone get into the 40# or 50# club. I tell myself if they can stick with it for that long, I can make it through at least another day.

So this is my first Sunday weigh-in and I am so thrilled I lost 7 lbs in the past nine days. I didn't think it was possible to lose that much weight that fast, and I really didn't think I could stick with MF for that long, but I did it! I lost an inch on my waist--it's amazing how one inch can make your pants fit so much better.

I can't tell you all how much this program has changed my attitude about myself. I feel so much more confident. MF has shifted my focus from what I hate about my body to the great changes I am making for it. I can't wait until next week's weigh-in!

Martha -- HURRAY!!!!!!!! Welcome to ONEderland -- isn't it a great place to be?? And it surely could not have happened to a nicer person. Congratulations, dear friend!

Christi, I'm there with ya, hon. I was more-or-less compliant all week until last night, and then we went out to dinner with friends. I enjoyed every minute of it -- including the rum-milk-passion fruit concoction from the bar.

I'm getting ready to go on vacation again in another week, and plan to do as I did when I went to Hawaii -- not follow the plan. I'm going to start transitioning this week, and hope to be able to maintain my weight (or at least not gain more than a few pounds!) from now to Labor Day, when I'll pick back up again.

Good luck, all.

Good Morning to all and CONGRATS To everyone on such great weight loss. I am down 1.4 lbs this week. I would love to have 3 to 5 lb loss. Anyway I am happy because I finally made it to25.4 loss and feel I am on my way to the 30# club. It is a start anyway. I am feelng so good. I told my DH this AM that who would have thought the first part of May that I would have lost 25lbs. I had given up on doing anything about my weight at that time. I am so happy that I found MF but even happier to have found all of you. I try to get on this sight everyday because it keeps me going. So have a nice week and thanks. Judy from Iowa and Iowa is beautiful this morning it is nice and cool.

[LilMsTexas]

During Roll Call on Sunday's I keep my little notes here by the computer because I like to look over the results at the end of the day. It is always so inspiring seeing the tabulations like that.

Emma......-2.5 this week is such a great loss and WOOOHOOOOOOO on the 40# club! That one for me was a biggy....even more so than the others for some reason.......so I'm jumpin' up and down with you today

Angie.....WOW.......-7lbs in 9 days is incredible! Those are the kinds of results that we ALL want to see

Judy......-1.4 this week and 25 total.......awesome What you said about talking to your husband about looking back to May and couldn't imagine being 25 less already made me think about all the times I've started a "diet" and guesstimated out where I would be at such-n-such a date. Like "ok Christi.....in 2 months you'll have 20lbs off" and then I would realize 2 months later when I should have had that weight off I would have already quit and might even be HIGHER on the scales. Oh my gosh how many times have I done that. Isn't it so incredible when you look back a period of time later and realize you are in FACT doing it?? At this point for me I had decided by the end of August I would be at goal.........wow I might really make it Congratulations on being so dang wonderful!!

24K........where are you going on vacation this time? How much have you lost since your trip to Hawaii? Are you feeling a huge difference getting ready for this vacation and when you went to Hawaii? It's so neat this time watching you prepare because you don't seem stressed out about it at all. You know how to transition for a planned break......you know you will most likely gain a little......and then you know what you will do when you get back Isn't it so different now?

I was talking with my Mom this morning, who is starting Medifast on August 15th by the way and I was telling her that I had gained my 3lbs in the past couple of days. She says "yeah that's going to be the trick now is keeping it off". It was so nice to say "No trick to it at all. I know EXACTLY what I'm doing for the REST OF MY LIFE. I know I will have times that I will gain....and the "trick" is to stop after the event and not just throw it all away!! Then lose those couple little lbs and move on" WOW WOW WOW......I'm growing up! I'm not freaked out. I will never ever ever DIET again.....I'm OVER DIEting. I just love it when it all comes together for us And that's what's so cool about your vacation coming up.......you ALSO know what to do and have a plan.....FANNNNNNNNTABULOUS!!

[sprgrammy]

Hello...
Martha, Lynne, Ania, Ash's mom, Emma, Angie, Judy and Christi-you are my heros! Wow, and I can now relate to the enthusiasm. I started MF, and joined Roll Call, last sunday(after weeks of lurking) and lost 8 pds. I wouldn't have survived this first week without you and the support forum.
Martha's cheering would have only been wasted, if I did not stick to the program...Thanks reMarkable Martha!
It is a pleasant surprise to understand my outlook on myself has changed so much. I know it has only been a week, but imagine in 2-3 months!
Thanks for contributing to this forum! Lyn

Hello Everyone,

We sure have a bunch of losers this week. CONGRATULATIONS! Don't have time to post individual losses but I want to congratulate Martha for making it into ONEDERLAND! Save room for me. I am down 3.2 pounds for the week.

Have a wonderful week Medifasters.
