FYI, I started a diet 5/02 using Medifast VLCD. I lost 82 pounds by 11/02.
I've done fairly well at maintaining -- using a combination of low-carb and exercise. I went a little nuts over Halloween and gained 7 pounds. I gained 3 more by Thanksgiving. So I'm not back on Medifast. I've lost 4 pounds in about 5 days. I've been on a plateau for 3 days, but that is not unexpected. This group is a great motivator for me. BTW -- where is "Determined"? 235 / 143 |

You asked my height: 5 foot 8.5 inches and female.
143 is just about right for me. All my clothes were getting tight and I'm so glad I didn't just get depressed and not do anything. I just passed the one year mark on mantenance. Continue onward. |

How do I manage to maintain? I weigh myself every day. If I'm up a pound
or two I dilligently follow low-carb reasonably low calorie and it is usually gone the next day. That was before Halloween and the candy binge! I also exercise 3 days a week -- 20 to 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weights. Medifast is safe. It is not like going on a starvation diet / fast. Medifast is used by over 15,000 doctors to help people lose weight, as I did when I lost the 80 pounds. I only have about 5-7 pounds to lose now that the 5 are gone. I figure it will take another 2 weeks (probably 2-3 pounds a week) which isn't too radical. I'm hypothyroid and even on meds I can't lose weight too rapidly. |

If I start slipping I show up here and feel like I have to report in. . .so it is a great help to me. As for having maintenance under control. . .that remains to be seen. It has been one year, which is great -- but I'll feel a lot better if in 10 years (even 5) I'm still at 143-147. Dilligence! Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. |

It helps keep me honest as well. This has been a bad week, in more ways than just food, but it's nothing I'll crumble over. Time to get going and start watching what I eat more carefully. Martha |
