Was maintaining since December, went on vacation to see relatives that believe in going out to eat every night and some lunches. So I gained 6 pounds. I'm back on program for a week to lose that. I was on plan yesterday and today is day 2. Started with the orange blend drink blended with ice and vanilla extract (1 condiment) to make it taste like orange julius. Yum! Downing my calorie burn water to give me energy to get through the work day. I'll try to remember to report in tonight or in the morning to let you all know how I did the rest of the day.

I started the program last Wednesday have stayed 100% on program I actually like it . Got a long way to go but am looking forward to it!

I lost 15 lbs last June when I totally committed to the Medifast diet plan. I still have about 15 to lose now that I let stress get the best of me. I gained 10lbs in the last 3 months. That will not happen again. I just finished day 2 and not even a taste of anythink off program. I am really committed this time. I hope I can repeat my success and lose 15lbs by the end of May and finally reach my goal weight. My husband is returning from a 2 yr deployment in Afghanistan and we have a Hawaiian Vacation planned for July! I will be ready to proudly wear my bikini on the beach by then!

I'm heading to Hawaii in July, too. And getting married next fall. I love that there is a board just for MF people. I am doing it through a MF center, so I am doing cleanse and detox this week, then I start MF foods on Monday. Hoping I can stick it out. I go pick out my foods tomorrow so any suggestions would be great--are any of the soups good? which shakes are best? and no to the pancakes...ugh, I was looking forward to pancakes! Haha.

Stayed 100% OP today! My big downfall is peanut butter! I put it on the highest shelf & pushed it as far back as I could....I need a ladder & salad tongs to get that jar now!

Have you tried the PB2?? It helps with my pb cravings.

What is PB2?

My Medifast counselor told me this morning when I was weighing in that a great way to get your peanut butter fix is to take the soft serve peanut butter mix, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it is the right consistency for your "ideal" peanut butter (crunchy vs smooth), then spread it into a couple celery stalks. I can't wait to try it tonight!

Well, come to find out, I should not rely on my memory, especially after just one week. It seems I've eaten 7 oz of protein when I should have eaten 6 oz when I should have eaten five. I'll know this afternoon just how much damage I've done.

So sad seeing my optimistic posts from before my vacation and tremendous backslide. But I've been back on plan for 3 days. I need a major pep talk to get through tomorrow night's dinner party.

I really do like sea bass though. Hoping for another loss tomorrow.

On plan for three days! Really been going back and forth over the last 6 months. I tried exercise and eating right but I could not loose for anything. I am very toned and haven't gained a lot but I haven't lost so I am back to my medifast and I am going to get to goal then work on maintaining with exercise and diet. So whoohoo! 3 days and I can't wait to start seeing pounds melting off!
