First question I got is How to stay on the Medifast Diet while still cooking for your family? Looking forward for any response. 2nd question I got is.. Other topics will be discussed that may not be appropriate for the easily offended..

Please discontinue reading Tough Love threads if they are going to cause you to become upset..

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++.

Medifast is a wonderful program with many different types of support and a fabulous community. We understand that everyone is an adult and this is not a "mean" group. For some of us, we thrive on this program if we have a place where we are held accountable, where we commit to the program 100% and where we have a place to chat with others who feel the same..

What we believe:.

1. Cheating on Medifast is NOT a strategy to get us out of our fat suits.

2. The only way for us to learn about our problems with food is to take the word "choice" out of the equation when it comes to Medifast. Our only "choice" is 5 packets and 1 weighed and measured lean and green a day.

3. We look to those who have been successful with this strategy to continuously remind us about why this way, for us, is the way to go.

4. We believe that, even though we are completely committed, knowing that we have a group that holds us accountable for our actions is both useful and important.

We commit to:.

1. Remove the word "choice" from our vocabularies.

2. Follow the Medifast plan as written, including transition and maintenance.

3. Tell our "inner brat" to shut the H-E-** up and quiet him or her through abstinence from off plan foods.

4. Give and receive tough love without complaining or calling each other "mean".

5. Cheerlead fellow group members as they follow the path to thinness.

6. Make Medifast the LAST diet we ever go on.

7. Check in with the group as often as our schedule reasonably allows.

8. Be honest with ourselves and our Medifast family and to stay 100% OP at all times. We also swear that WHEN (not if) we are having a tough time and feel like we may eat SLUDGE, to come to our Medifast family first and ask for support and help to get us through the struggle..

Getting the banner:.

We accept anyone who follows the Medifast plan 100% as written, but not limited to, the Quick Start Guide. We recommend participating on the team for 1 week prior to requesting the Tough Love Banner to ensure that compliance to our bylaws is do-able for you..

Anyone can start the thread. If youre the first one here in the morning, copy this opening post and create a post for the new day. Anyone is welcome to join, and if folks have additional ideas on how we can commit, we are happy to hear them!..

Good Morning Tough Lovelies!.

Drumroll please. I was 216.6 today (not my official WI day) and can now say that I have lost 75 lbs and 25% of my bodyweight! Woo Hoo!! That's only 65.4 Medifast lbs and 24% of my Medifast bodyweight, but I definitely include my pre-MF weight loss in my total. I just don't track it on my ticker (maybe I should?). Anyway I am on Cloud 9 today!.

Dubah - I want to bang in bed all day too! LMAO That sure beats banging on my drum all day. hehehe.

Penny - On the plus size, I was thinking you could simply say Plus Sizes available on request, or just list the measurement of things - 7" bracelet, etc. Because some smaller folks like things to be a little bigger on them, etc. But whether you give it a nod or you just list certain items in a plus size category, I definitely think it would be lovely to fly your "big girl" flag - for all those who still want to look stylish!.

MT - Thanks for kicking off this lovely day..

Morning Cindy, Zoe, Melissa, and all who come after me! I MISS ANNA!!.

Today is the 16th anniversary of the bombing of the Murrah Building here in Oklahoma City. Sixteen years later, I can be grateful for being alive, having a decent weather day, and remember those we lost, those who were injured but survived, and all the brave and dedicated men and women from OK and around the nation who pulled together over two long weeks (plus) to deal with the tragedy. As we always say around here, "We'll Never Forget.".

Have a beautiful OP day!.

Morning! Blowing by to say a quick hi. Got barfing kids again (or, still, depending on how you look at it!) and trying to get ready for an impending visit from my folks. Need to finish painting the extra bathroom so we can get the toliet, etc. installed before they get here. My mom had a knee replacement and doesn't need to climb the stairs just to get to the bathroom!.

Down 2.5 lbs this past week! Weighed in a day late as we were on the river this weekend, watching DH kayak. After the weekend with little access to drinking water (unless I'd drink the river!), nearly all bars for meals and crappy LGs eating out in the Gorge with the kids, I expected to have a bad week. Did well, though, probably because TOM was ending! I'm happy that I will meet my personal mini-goal of being as close as possible to 10 lbs from goal by the time my parents visit after Easter. I expect/hope for a new decade in the 120s by the end of the week!.

My dad hasn't seen me since 180 lbs, so he's in for a shock. Must, must, must get some clothes that fit THIS weekend!!.

Haven't kept up this weekend, but I know I missed a birthday (happy belated one, Freya!) and lots of conversation! I'll try to drop in more this week amidst painting and barfing...oh, and NO washing machine! It tanked on Friday and will be $400 to fix..

Oh, well, hopefully it will be back by Thursday....

Have a great day, Tough Lovelies!..

Good morning everyone! I'm still half asleep waiting at the doctor's office for a recheck appointment. Its dreary and rainy here, which makes it more difficult to get motivated..

But 1 great motivator.....I'm wearing size 6 Abercrombie jeans I haven't fit into in 4 years! I kept them because I love them & bought them the last time I lost weight. They are a tiny bit tight in the waist, no where else, and I can definitely get away with wearing them!.

No chopped tofu, I'm too tired to remember who wrote what. I'll check back later when I'm more awake..

Tara, that's some nerve. When I saw the neurosurgeon yesterday, it was literally for less than two minutes. I realize he reviewed my file and my films, but the time he spent with me was over in a flash. And he's probably making $400 from my insurance for it. Sheesh..

Well, I went ahead and placed a "plus size jewelry" tag in each of the larger items on Etsy, so if you search "plus size ring" or "plus size bracelet," my stuff will be included. Thanks to all for the feedback..

I only have yucky food left in my drawer. Waaahhh...

And it's always more expensive and less attractive than the skinnier counterparts, whatever item it may be. Great idea!.

Hey, everyone! I just got back from my weigh-in 1.6 for the week. I honestly think I go through fluctuations of small-small-big, because that's what the pattern is shaping up to be. I should record the individual weeks instead of just the month. Well, now I know!.

I made a trip to Wal-Mart and spent like 20 minutes trying to pick a sugar-free creamer to try in my coffee instead of Splenda AND milk. I wanted to get the liquid one that was less calories, carbs and sodium, but unfortunately it only came in a HUGE container and would have expired before I could use it all. Alas, such is college life..

Please excuse me from calling you out by individual name, as I (per normal) didn't get much quality sleep last night, and will now be resting...

Happy Birthday to Amelie, I just celebrated my 50th and had a Medifast brownie for my "cake" it is doable! (I'm sure you already know that!).

I'm so happy that the idea of the plus sized baubles has gone over well. It didn't occur to me until I made a ring that I loved - I started it a little bigger, because that's just what you do, and it ended up being too big for any of my fingers. It currently has almost twice as many views as any of the others I listed last night!..

Just checking back in on the posts...I can't stay away too long or I'll get 3 pages behind!.

Good Morning all you ladies who posted since my last post! Way too many of you to name...this thread is jumpin today..

Penny.

- I saw a couple of rings that you had on Etsy and they were way too small for my fingers...I was sad! But I decided I don't want to buy a ring because I'm sure my fingers will shrink over the next 100 lbs.

I think I'm going to stick with necklaces/earrings! Can't wait until I hit my 10% lost goal so I can SHOP!.

Amelie.

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY and grats on your loss. I hope you start to feel better.

Angel.

- I hate when doctors take their time getting to my room. Technically, their time is more valuable than mine (if you go by hourly wages)...but I don't need it rubbed into my face that my time is less valuable ya know? haha..

Melissa.

- I still have my little Olive! She's going to meet her new daddy on Sunday. I'm driving down from Tallahassee, FL and he's driving up from Ft. Lauderdale, FL and we're going to meet halfway (in Ocala or Orlando). I was having a case of the "sads" last night about seeing her leave, but my wonderful DH assured me that she won't feel like I abandoned her and that her new daddy will love her very much. I'm such a SUCKER for animals!.

Claire.

- Grats on your loss!.

- Happy Belated Bday!.

Blue Fedora (name?).

I still consider myself a newbie too! Love these ladies though...they keep me accountable!.

I am working like crazy today and taking small breaks here and there to work on my economics homework. I still need to finish the chapter outlines for two more chapters, complete my practice exercises for three chapters AND fill out the review sheet. Then, after all of that is done...I have to actually STUDY for the final in a week. Lol. I'm just a TAD BIT overwhelmed with it all. I will be very glad when this semester is OVER!

What do you do? I was diagnosed 10 years ago, and while I try to move correctly and pay attention to my body, I still have many very painful and difficult days..

Losing just these 18 pounds has made a huge difference in the way I feel though..

I want to put off surgery as long as possible...

Talien, my condolences to your family. Sometimes there's that weird sense of relief. I think this is one of those times. No more suffering..

Chatty, it sounds like two little pink bundles are anxious to meet their Gramma! Sit, babies. Stay. Good...

I want to know, too. I didn't know I had such a degree of bone loss until my surgery in 2005 when they told me I had the spine of a 65 year old. They told me to quit smoking, lose weight, and get active. I did all three of those things and it did help. I can only imagine how I'd feel if I hadn't done those three things. And a funny coincidence is that I remember joking with the doctor just before my surgery saying, "I guess my belly dancing days are over, huh?" He said, "Not necessarily!" So is that the secret, MT?..

Dangers of working at home and multi-tasking to stay up with TL thread. I just called someone and said "Hi this is Susan from Medifast". She was silent..I thought "wonder what's wrong with her". Then I realized what I said. I guess I'm glad it was a vendor and not a client. Sheesh...

Well, apparently my weight loss is actually being notices. Lots of compliments, one from my boss. It's nice, and would be nicer if I weren't so tired. Sarge is walked so when I get home I'll sit down and do a proper shout out..

Much love to all,.

Congrats to all of my fellow losers!.

Talien-I'm so sorry for your loss..

Amelie-Happy Birthday!.

I'm now waiting at my allergist. I hate scheduling more than 1 doctor appointment in a day but I'll get over it. At least I can hear the allergist and nurses talking to patients instead of blabbering randomly like my doctor was. He did apologize though. And spent about 10 minutes in the room for my over an hour of waiting..

This rainy, damp, depressing weather needs to go away! To anyone with the sun shining-I am completely jealous!.

TKD.

WTG!!! So happy for you!!!!.

You should make skinny biatch ones too! I have a hard time finding bracelets now, as theyre all too big or chunky for my teensy wrists..

Tara.

Congrats on the pants!.

Amelie.

Happy birthday, dear!!!! Hope it's an amazing OP day!.

De.

So glad to hear Johns doing better. Hope you can actually sleep tonight..

Thank you for the update on the pink bundles. Thrilled to hear theyre still on the inside..

Tara, sorry you've had to spend so much time today waiting! Know what that reminds me of? When we are sitting, hungry, in a restaurant and the ENTIRE staff is clapping and singing for someone's birthday. Someone who is mortified and embarassed. In the mean time, my dinner is on the pick up counter getting cold. Rawr!.

Getting ready to call it a day, kids. Off to the grocery store and the big box warehouse. Later, taters!.

I've been nervous to say anything, because ya'all know me and I'm worried you'll think I'm talking out my azz, but I'm so excited and nervous about tomorrow night I want to share even if you point and laugh. I'm writing a book about weight loss and tomorrow night I'm doing my photo shoot for the cover!.

It'll be the first time I've ever had professional hair and makeup done to make me pretty for pictures, and I'm in a total lather about what to wear. I don't know if I should go home and tear up my closet and decide I hate everything I own, or if I should just go straight to Nordstrom's after class, or what. Eeeeek!!!!!!!..

Give yourself no more than an hour to shop, and if you find nothing, go home and rummage. You won't feel like you missed the perfect outfit and settled on something from home if you give yourself the chance to see if that mythical outfit is at Nordstrom's...

, my daughter worked at Nordies for a year and said people do it all the time. Nordstrom's philosophy is that they make it easy to return therefore draw way more customers in. They do market research on this stuff. When you are famous, clothing designers will be hunting you down and asking you to wear their clothing...

Hope everyone else is doing well. I'm home and I think I figured out why I'm so tired - it looks like I may be coming down with a spring cold... dh had a minor one last week, so I thought I'd get through the season without it... oh well..

De.

- I hear you on the sleep issue - I suffer horribly whenever we go on vacation - I love to go away, but I always want my bed back! This year we're going to a Hilton in Destin, and usually the Hiltons have pretty good beds... I hope you catch up on your sleep!.

Hey, has anyone seen.

Good morning, MT, Cindy and other Tough Lovelies yet to check in!.

It's cold and gray here and a perfect day to stay in bed. But I'll be on my way to the YMCA and then to work in a little while..

I listed a ton of rings last night over on Etsy. Lots of them are larger sizes and I was thinking to possibly offer some of my pieces in a "plus size" category. Can I get some feedback on this? I remember when I was very heavy, I couldn't find larger size ankle bracelets, rings, etc. that were pretty and that fit. I haven't specified "plus size" on any of my listings, but I'm considering it..

Vanilla coffee pudding this morning hit the spot and is playing nice with my Medrol. I'm off to start my day! See you all at the office!..
