Count me in again!!

Wow, 12.2 lbs! That is incredible. Congrats! I just finished week 1 too. This is my first time doing Medifast.

I'm feeling really good! I just completed my first week and lost 4 lbs!! I feel like I can do this!

Thank you! You just made me feel SO much better.

I like it in smoothies (aka green smoothies or green monster smoothies). I usually blend almond milk, frozen banana, frozen strawberries, vanilla protein powder & either kale or spinach (fresh or frozen). It doesn't sound very appealing but it does taste good.

great post!

I enjoy her site too. Thanks for posting...this is one I'd like to try!

I put them in my morning smoothies.

The Shining!

Thanks! I put the recipe for the 2 Bean Soup with Kale on the BL Recipe thread.

I like to make my smoothies with 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (40 cal/cup), frozen or fresh spinach or kale, 1/2 frozen banana & some frozen strawberries. I'll have to try the coconut extract! That sounds like a good addition!

Cabbage leaves with peanut butter. Really good!!

Here is the Thai Veggie Burger recipe that I made from the Peas and Thank You cookbook. It was really good! I made a cilantro mayo to put on it (low fat mayo, fresh chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice).

I'm on the list but as hasenji...should be basenji. Thanks! Excited about this!

I'm in!

I just ordered this and should have it tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation. I read some of the pages online (on Amazon)....looks like a good book! I'm excited to get it and start it before the BL contest starts on Sunday.

I like to cook about half a bag of frozen chopped broccoli and mix it with the Lean Cuisine mac & cheese.

Love that idea!

Did this challenge fizzle away? :(

Great idea with the survey! I voted! I would like both fitness & nutrition challenges.

Level 2, day 2 complete. I really wanted to stop about 5 minutes into it but I kept going. I'm not liking this level right now! I always try to do this in private but my kids always seem to follow me or show up while I'm doing it. My 10 year old son was watching me yesterday and made a comment that a lot of what I was…

So sorry to hear you sprained your ankle! I hope you have a fast recovery!!

My name is Mary and I live in Milwaukee, WI. I have 3 kids (10, 7 and 4). I was a stay-at-home mom for about 9 years but just recently went back into the IT field part-time. I didn't have a weight issue until after I had my 2nd child. I lost all the pregnancy weight easily after my first but after my second, I just…

I just completed Level 2 day 1. I liked the pendulum lunges but the rest was sort of tough for me because of all the planks. I have a hernia and the planks always bother that. I just have to be careful when I'm doing them. Other than the planks, it was a fun one!! Last week I only completed 2 days of level 1. :(
