I still havent had time to update. hopefully tomorrow...but...about the medifast...I may love it. I weighed yesterday am....I lost 10 pounds in about 8 days. couldnt believe it. got on the scale, got off, got on, got off, repeated process about 6 times because I thought I was hallucinating. surprislingly, I've been much better able to stay with it than other stuff, not sure why. and I am not usually very hungry as long as i eat every 2 hours or so...yesterday I was out at a conference and not able to do that, not able to drink much water, and it was hard and I was hungry. I am hopeful that this may be what I need to get me going...most of the "food" is pretty good...I like soups and stuff like that though, so that helps, it would be hard if you didnt. the oatmeal is great (and I don't like oatmeal), choc. shakes and puddings are great...some of the soups i've found are much better if I make them the night before, add xtra seasonings, and refrigerate overnight, then I take them to work and add more hotwater. so, we will see. I think I can see a teeny bit of difference around my waist and neck already. I know I am terribly impatient, but the damned A has taken every ounce of anything I ever had in that dept...so I need to see progress in other areas of my life I tackle.
Something that is weird though. I can't explain this, but....I feel for the most part better after a week and 1/2 on that diet. I dont' know how/why that would be, but sometimes before I was so tired and draggy. now I'm not...I get tired, but it doesnt seem to be the "constant" stuff. hard to explain. The only thing I can think is that the stuff is so fortified with nutrients, maybe I'm getting something now that was lacking. There's no other explanation. Cost is a worry, but somehow maybe I cant figure that out.
