Topic: RE: WW Weigh-In #2
Congratulations! Almost 12 lb in 2 weeks. WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
FYI - if I eat carbs like pasta, rice, bread, potatoes I will not lose any weight even if I stay within my calorie/points range. My body just doesn't break it down easily. Oatmeal, Bulgur wheat I'm ok with...isn't that odd.
Anyhow just wanted to say well done and stick with it. Can't wait to hear about your week 3.

that's really great!! i think you lost .8 because you lost so much the first week, your body had to balance back out, but .8 is a very respectable loss and i'm very happy that you are doing so great!!

Hi Sherrie, you're still doing well - you're sticking to the WW, you did shed some weight and even if you didn't get to your water aerobics - you're still thinking and concerned about it.
I found it helpful when I first started on my shedding weight journey to focus more on the positive changes that I was making and not so much on trying to rapidly shed weight. Take pride in all the good changes that you're doing and give yourself a big cyberhug from me (((HUGS)))).

Topic: RE: Medifast
Hi Janeene, I did a medically supervised Medifast many years ago - when I did it, it was 5 shakes for the day, no other food. DH and I started with a group of other people and by the end of the week all the other people had dropped out of the program. It is extremely hard to stick to the diet, especially at the very begining - the minute you eat some solid food you just don't want to drink only shakes. OTOH once you get into the routine it does get a little easier. We also exercised. I lost 100 pounds in 6 months - wish I had kept it off. After 2 years I started to gain a lot of weight - until I gained 200 pounds. The main thing was I didn't plan maintance properly - this time the way I'm eating to shed my weight is the same way I will eat for the rest of my life. My diet is part of a major permanent lifestyle change.
Both DH and I have tried to go back on Medifast over the years but we couldn't last more than a day or two. It is very hard on your body, so make sure you have medical supervision.

Hi Trisha and welcome back. Good to see you're back on board with your diet. Certainly shedding that excess weight will make it easier to keep up with your kids.
