I finally did it…I broke the 30 pound barrier of weight loss!! In 6 weeks, I have dropped exactly 30 pounds, which my amazing math skills tell me is an average of 5 pounds per week, which is unreal! I’m pretty stoked, especially after this weekend. I only lost 2 pounds this past week (I know, ONLY 2 pounds right?) but that was partially my fault. In addition to the 30 pounds, I have also lost 5 inches of waistline!! I am at a point where I need get a smaller belt to hold up my pants! I’m shrinking and it feels amazing!

I had a frantic weekend and ended up not doing so hot following program. I did however make some better than bad choices when eating meals out and made sure to avoid things like fries, potatoes, or starchy carbs. I know, I know…I should be 100% on the program and behaving, but the reality of life is, I’m not always the best at planning my day and things happen. What is important here is that I was able to maintain my pre-weekend loss of 2 pounds through moderation of food intake and avoiding bad foods. This tells me that when I move on to the maintenance phase of the Medifast Program, I won’t have any trouble maintaining a diet that will keep my weight off. I am learning to eat less, eat better and live a healthier lifestyle.

Most importantly, after a busy weekend, I’m 100% back on track to continue my Medifast program. Without a second thought. I think an important part of any weight loss program is realizing just because you didn’t have a perfect day or even weekend there is no reason to call it quits or blow a whole week out. In fact, one bad meal doesn’t mean you give up either…if you find yourself without “program food” for one reason or another, seek out some healthy alternatives and press on!
