Oh, love the photos! You look amazing, J. :) When you posted the other day that your weight loss goal was 37 lbs, I couldn't imagine that you'd had that much to lose. You wore it well, but the change is great to see. And you are beautiful, as always!

I've been doing lots of traveling lately (longest business trip so far was 1 week, but I'm about to leave on an 11-day vacation). I find it's easiest for me to just take shakes, hot cocoa, cold drinks, and bars. Plus maybe brownies/cookies if I have access to a microwave. Things that require little/no prep. I've been…

According to MF, the ideal carb range for fat-burning is 80-85 per day, but you can have up to 100 if necessary. I try to keep my protein around 100 or more. I more or less let fat do whatever it will, but try not to have lots of high fat days in a row. Calories I try to keep in the 800-1000 range. You can go look at my…

Hi, I'm Michelle. I'm nearing the end of my 11th week on MF and I've lost 23.4 pounds so far. I have had more success with MF than I've had with any other diet, ever. The last time I did well was in 2006 when my (now) husband and I started watching our calories and exercising a LOT. I loved it, but it was hard and it…

One of our favorite super-healthy meals lately: (proportions don't matter that much, just do what looks good, but I'll include them for reference) Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan, adding a clove or so of garlic. Add 1/2 c. each of 3 different vegetables (we like to use red/orange/yellow bell peppers, zucchini,…

Ah, I guess I should add my version of the "she's dead/she's going to die" story... Immediately after I was born, they rushed me out of the room. My mom didn't get to see me and they didn't tell her anything. Then a nurse patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, dear. You'll have others." !!

Today I wore a pair of pants that were too small when I started this journey--and they're too big! I probably won't be able to wear them again. :D

I was premature, only 3 lbs 7 oz. I spent the first 5 weeks of my life in an incubator, with no one but medical staff allowed to touch me. As it turned out, I was TINY but healthy, other than a bit of jaundice. They kept me isolated until I was 5 lbs and allowed to leave the hospital. Things are rather different with…

I started Medifast on September 5th and, as of today, have lost 19.4 pounds! Would love to have more MF-friendly friends. :)

Blues, greens, and greys, usually, but really I like most colors. Dark or bold colors tend to be my favorites. My favorite-of-the-moment is Sephora by OPI "Frankly I Don't Give A-Dam." Have had many compliments on it!

You've lost 95 pounds and are still wearing the same clothes? This may sound silly, but I really believe it helps your body image to have clothes that FIT. I can understand not wanting to spend money on intermediate sizes, but I, for one, feel so much better about myself when I can actually see the progress I'm making. And…

Out of curiosity...how long has it been since your surgery? I'm about 3.5 years out from my last surgery (bilateral mastectomy + reconstruction with implants). The first couple of years I couldn't STAND doing any sort of exercise that pulled on my chest muscles. I only *just* started strength training again (since before…
