Hi ladies... I've only heard about MediFast one other time in a 3fc post, someone had asked "what's a foolproof way to lose 30lbs quickly".. A lady said her husband was sropping weight like a bad habit with HMR shakes, also know as MediFast, it's a liquid diet, I looked them up online and they didn't appear to spendy, my concern was, losing weight to quickly leaves alot of excess skin :( Otherwise I'd have been all over it!! I think this diet would work good for someone with alot of weight to lose, and maybe just use it for the first 40-50lbs or so to get you feeling good, making it alot easier to exercise :) If your unable to find the website send me a pm...
Anyhow, it's great to see everyones still going strong...I made it to the gym, did my 40min... I'm really trying hard to reach my goal this time.. In the past I'd always lose weight for about 2-3months, then take a 4-5 month break, it still counts though, at least I don't weigh 248lbs anymore right!! I'm just tired of the diet yo-yo game, I won't feel like I've succeeded until I reach my ultimate goal :O) I know what works and I know I can do it, I will be stronger in my weakest moments.. Good health and great energy gals'... Crystal :O)

hi.... I too have joined WW for the 100th time.... I am trying to lose weight for the 100th time.... I have lost 8.6 lbs so far... I am struggling.... anyone who wants to buddy up... I am interested as well.... anncharlie
:carrot:

I hear you girl
 

I took one weeks worth of vacation before I had my surgery then had another month off, it was grand. I would do it all over again just to get the heck out fo dodge. I am seriously needing to find me a different position elsewhere. I wish I would've never left the other bank that I worked for. The saying is true the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I hope your return is a good one. Did you ever disclose your firs name in our thread. Maybe you have but I think I overlooked it. :)

Welcome the the Fluffyhood
 

Glad to have a newbie with us. This thread totally rocks. All the ladies that have posted are great supporters and filled with great thoughts and ideas. The good thing is you found us and we are all here to help. Are you doing the Core Plan or Flex Points. I too am on WW without the meetings in person or online. I have the info that is before the Flex Plan started. I still count points though.

HEY FURIOUS:hug: I DID BY THEM SMALLER!! GIRL I GIVE UP!! LOL.. CANT WAIT TILL I CAN BE NAKED IN PUBLIC-NO NEED FOR SPANDEX THEN!;) MEDIFAST WAS WHAT OPRAH WAS ON WHEN SHE PULLED THE FAT OUT ON A WAGON! YOU LOSE A LOT REAL QUICK BUT I HEAR THE CHANCES OF GAINING ALOT OF IT BACK IS VERY HIGH.. THERE IS ALSO THE EXCESS SKIN.. YOU HAVE TO REALLY TONE AND LIFT WHILE YOU ARE LOSING SO THAT YOU ARE BUILDING THE MUSCLE UNDERNEATH. BUT ON THE LOW.. IF YOU DO THE LC THING LIMITING YOURSELF TO 20 TO 30 CARBS A DAY. YOU CAN LOSE ABOUT 2 TO 5LBS A WEEK. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED FOR ME. I THEN STOPPED DOING IT.. I NEVER GOT BACK TO WHERE I WAS BEFORE STARTING IT THANK GOODNESS BUT IT WORKED!!!

I THINK ANY DIET WILL WORK, IT IS MORE OF A LIFESTYLE CHANGE THAN DIET THAT I THINK WE SHOULD ALL FOCUS ON. IT IS GOOD TO HAVE SHORT TERM GOALS TO MOTIVATE YOU -WEDDING, FAMILY REUNION,HIGH SCHOOL REUNION-BUT THE RESULTS WILL LAST LONGER IF WE TRY TO CHANGE HOW WE LOOK AT FOOD AND THE REASONS WHY WE EAT. FOR MY HUSBAND IT WAS NOT LOOKING TO FOOD FOR SATISFACTION, BUT LOOKING AT IT FOR NOURISHMENT ONLY. YOU HAVE CRAVINGS BUT IF YOU WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND WHAT IS TRIGGERING THE CRAVINGS, WE CAN BEAT THIS MONKEY ON OUR BACK, THIGHS, BUTT, ETC. LOL!!!! FOR ME MY TRIGGER IS THE INSTANT GRATIFICATION I FEEL WHEN I GET A DESERT THAT I WANT! NOT ON SOMEONE'S PLAN FOR ME BUT FOR A BRIEF MOMENT I FEEL IN CONTROL. BUT WHAT I NEED TO DO IS TO CONTROL OTHER ASPECTS IN MY LIFE-CHANNEL THAT ENERGY TO POSITIVES.

YES CRYSTAL...WE ARE ALL GOING TO BE STRONG FOR EACH OTHER IN OUR WEAKEST MOMENTS. BYLAW#2006" YOUR GOAL IS OUR GOAL..." EVERYDAY THAT YOU COMMITT TO THIS IS A SUCCESS BABY! I WILL NOW DANCE FOR YOU..:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

WELCOME PROUD NAN:hug:

WELCOME AND CONGRATS ANNCHARLIE!! I WILL NOW DO A HAPPY DANCE FOR YOU AND YOUR HOMELESS LBS:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

REGINA..WE ARE GOING TO BE SO TIGHT AND TONED WHILE WE LOSE GIRL, WHO THE HECK WILL NEED PLASTIC SURGERY..UNLESS WE ARE GETTING FAKE BOOBS TO DRAW EVEN MORE ATTENTION TO OUR SEXY BODY!! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP TODAY BOO.. DONT LET THAT HATER AT WORK GET YOU DOWN.

Bathing suits--hip hip hooray....smile
 

O.K. Ladies how many of you all have your bathsuits for the summer yet? Here not even, however I did see one at Target in the Letter department that was quite cute. I keep beating myself up because I didn't buy it. My problem is I see clothing that I like but somewhere in my head I say "I'll just wait because I am going to lose weight" then that doesn't happen and I lose out on a cute outfit. Funny how that is.:?: Anyway does anyone have any summer vacation plans? I am counting down my days until June 9th. I am going to visit my dad in San Antonio and my mom is coming with us..parents are divorced. My husband was like are they going to be o.k. with each other, I was like duh! they were in the same house when we got married-H-E-L-L-O!
I will be gone for a week...then I am having surgery, just kidding. Let me stop before I get punished. :devil: So what kind of music is everyone into? Me I enjoy retro (I like listening to 80's music..i.e Zapp and Roger, Ready for the world, Culture Club any and all 80's music) I also like early 90's as well do you all remember Vanilla Ice or how about that guy named Snow. O.k. I could go on and on and I need to go and pretend like I am working-nothing to do....:dance:

Bathing suit!?!?! :rofl: I think I would scare everyone if I wore a bathing suit. :D Are you going to San Antonio TX to see your dad? I live in Corpus Christi about 2 hrs from there. I was shopping at a store the other day and would you believe N.K.O.T.B. was playing on the sound system. I have not heard them in forever.

Whoa... Oh... Oh... Oh...Oh... Hangin' Tough
 

Your smiley had me rolling! It is so cute. Stupid question don't they have a Selena statue there in Corpus, my dad said they did? My daughter liked her. So were you dancing in the aisles and singing :carrot: , remember there are security cameras....LOL!:o

I don't think my insecurities would ever allow me to feel comfortable in a swimsuit!! I could have Jessica Simpons bod and I would still feel like a heffalump!! It's been so many years since I've felt comfortable in my own skin, I doubt I'll ever get over feeling selfconscious in public... Even though I know I'm thinner now, I still feel and see myself the as the fat-girl... I'm so weird, I know :O)

Anyhow I do know what it's like to always put off buying that perfect outfit or pants until you've lost 20lbs(or more).. I do it all the time! Then kick myself later when I go back to the store and it's already out of my size :( Why can't I live in the here and now, why is it that I put my life on hold until I'm thin, like somehow my life will really be so much more exciting, WHATEVER, this is as good as it's gonna get!! I gotta start loving me for me now!!!

I've just recently converted into a country girl,, I love country music all of a sudden, maybe it's a sign I'm gettin' old :O) I cannot stand the crap I'm hearing on my sons radio, it's so redundant...

So Oprah did MediFast huh?? I don't remember that.. Did I sound rude when I said someone who needed to lose alot of weight should try it?? I really didn't mean to,, for me at my current weight I'm more focused on not only losing inches but also toning and firming my flabbiness :O) When I first began losing weight though I would've totally bought MediFast, I had the toughest time doing just the simplest of exercises, my knees hurt, back, hips, everything hurt me, I'm 5'4 so the weight was alot for my frame..I wouldn't have cared about some extra skin, just to feel normal and be able to go for a walk without the pain afterwards..

My husband is hispanic and he wants to go visit his parents in Mexico, I really hate driving for 3 days though so I'm really trying to talk him out of it... I'll most likely be a lazy bum all summer, stay indoors and try to avoid the heat :O)

Ok I'm off to pick up my munchkins from school :O)

I love all types of music, my youngest son for whatever reason wanted to join a choir, so I learned that I really do enjoy classical music, mozart and such.
I love the 80's and 90's but can swing right to the oldies 50's. I enjoy country music,,,even the old old stuff.

I read enough medifast to know I would never take it, I have a problem with aspertame,,,instant migraines and medifast is made up of something even worse then aspertame,,,I researched what it was sweetened with Acesulfame K,

Yes, there is a statue right on the bayfront. She also has a memorial at her gravesite I believe. Oh man, I completely forgot about security cameras! LOL!

You go girl
 

Your vacation sounds like fun. I am sure you will be one sexy little cowgirl for June. So you enjoy some rap, my daughter listens to some, whatever they play on MTV. We have extra MTV channels so of course she is like can we watch them- I'm like nope. There is one song that I like and that is Don't Cha by the kittycat dolls, that will be our Fluffyhood song when we all get to our goals. How does that sound everyone? :carrot:

I Am A True Hip-hop Head.. But I Love All Kinds Of Music..not Too Much Country Though Ms. Amanda Mae;)
