Hi Julie,
Never mind the chocolate ones, try the MINT chocolate ones. They are fabulous and if you nibble them they last so much longer than those thin mint GS cookies and there is no guilt! They are my evening treat. Hanging in there otherwise. Lost a few of the regain and keeping at it. I have new motivation with an up coming girls 50th birthday weekend(not mine been there done that). Plus I have signed up for a three day women’s sailing class so that I can be comfortable sailing my own boat. With out MF and losing 40lbs. I never would have signed up. With weight loss comes confidence. On to the next 30lbs!

Hello,
Abouut those girl scout cookies… I am a troop leader for brownie girl scouts. I am also the cookie mom! Translation - on February 21 I picked up 1056 boxes of cookies for my troop. I did really good and held out until late last week - then I just couldn’t resist anymore. We had about 48 boxes left over, so I had to buy those! Not only did I have to spend about $160 on cookies, but now I am eating them - and lots of them. I had hit a plataue a couple of months ago, and was gaining some back but now I have gained back about 10 of the 51 lbs that I had lost. I still need to lose about 50 lbs more, and am having a really tough time getting back on track - and those cookies are killing me. It’s tempting to just give them away, but then I keep thinking of how much I had to spend on them.

Hi Amy, it took me longer than most because I struggled a few times, almost 6 months to lose it give or take a few set backs Medifast works if you work it and you have to be ready and stay on track! I love the diet and would recommend it to anyone. Good luck!

Happy Medifast Monday! Hi Susan, Next time I buy those evil cookies I will just put them out for co-workers! You are special too and thank you for the kind words Let me know how things are going for you!

Hello Sherri, I had lost a total of 36 lbs. Mintenance really is the key and my binge reminded me of that. How are you doing on the program?

Hi Julie,
How amazing to log on and read your blog this morning. I have done the same thing except it was Eddy’s ice cream and several dinners out.Life problems have taken a toll these last few weeks and Medifast took a back seat. Although I started out each day on the program by evening I had gone off the path. You are so right about feeling better on Medifast. I like how I feel on Medifast. Physically and mentally. As you say, we are all human but we know what we are doing and what we have done and how to fix it. I am not beating myself up over the backward slide because I know I can get back on Medifast, get back to ketosis and back to weight loss. Your post was just what I needed to read this morning! Back to my oatmeal and Thanks.

Hi Julie, I totally understand what you went through. I also love the mint Girl Scout cookies. This is the first year ever that I haven’t ordered any cookies. Every time I try to eat any food except Medifast, I lose control.It is really hard to forget the old unhealthy eating habits. You are a special person, so please don’t feel to badly. You are an inspiration to us all. We are all going through this together and we are also here for each other. Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!
Susan
