Hi everyone-
Well, actually, I’m convinced that I’m the only one in this forum now based on prior activity. So maybe this will just be me tracking my own progress.
Background: I started Medifast in November 2016, and by November 2017 I had lost 67 lbs. Loved it, felt great.
But, then there was Thanksgiving...and Christmas. I mean, what’s a few weeks of cheating, right? Then, I didn’t want to be one of “those people” that restarted my diet after New Years. Then, there was a LOT of travel. About every 1-2 weeks, all over the world. Might as well just wait until after that next trip, or the next one, or the next one... In the meantime, I figured I might as well (binge) eat all the terrible (yummy) foods that I could since I was just about to start MF again. Got back into all the old habits that got me where I was when I started the first time. Just one more week so get it all in.
Well, those “next weeks” sure added up, and 7 months later I have gained a full 38 (OMG) lbs. I knew it was going to be a lot, but refused to step on a scale until today. Good grief. I seriously can’t believe I let this happen!
So here I am yet again. Not quite where I was in 2016–thank goodness—but far from my skinny me of last summer. I’m going to go back tonight to read all my own posts detailing my journey (and all the other amazing ladies I met on this board), and I’m going to start again tomorrow on Day 1 of my MF journey circa 2018. I’m hoping to hit my “goal” of where I left off in November 2017 by November 2018. Just calling it a very unfortunate detour, of which now I’m correcting course.
Is anyone out there going on this journey, too?
07/08/2018 - Day 0: 217 lbs.
Goal: 179 lbs by 11/30/2018
***EDIT: Reading through my old posts, I lost 26 lbs in 7 weeks.
Interim Goal: 191 lbs by 08/26/2018
