First question I got is What's better the Medifast Diet or a no carb diet? Looking forward for any response. Another question... 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!..

I would like to know the answer too. Anyone here know what is the answer to that question. I'll do some research in Google and get back to you if I bump into an useful answer. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably could give you an answer..

Morning all. Just wanted to pop in to say Hi to all my friends here. Without being able to post/read from work, I just can't keep up! It was causing me anxiety just trying. The T&M thread, where I need to be right now, is much easier to keep up with. So, a quick fly by here & there to say hello will have to suffice over here til things change at work..

Good morning gals! I'm off to work, where I will anxiously await a call from Dr. Doom, then to a vet appointment afterward for my worst pet, a terrible cat I've had for the past 14 years. He's the world's worst kitty, but I believe you keep animals and kids once you've got 'em, so we take good care of him despite him being the baddest. (Did I mention he's really bad, because he's BAD.).

Have a good hump day. I'll pop in later...

Mia, when you check in, I sent you a PM....

My hubby forgot his wallet today, so while I need to leave early to go to the PO, I also have to make yet ANOTHER stop. The PO may have to wait until this afternoon. It actually may stop raining by then..

I sent ANOTHER message to PhotoBucket. People are highly upset with them, judging by the comments on their FB page. The service is down for paying members as well, and many people use it to run their online businesses, so I can understand. The last update said it should be back after midnight... midnight on WHAT PLANET, because it's almost 8 hours later and I still don't see my stuff. Jerks...

Good Morning Tough Lovelies!.

I have a spring in my step this morning because my scale read 219.9 today! I know all I have to do is inhale deeply and it'll bounce right up, but it was so good to see the 210's I nearly cried. Tomorrow is my official WI day so hopefully I will be even more solidly in my new decade. I weighed 239 on March 7th, so 20 lbs in a little over 5 weeks. Love MF! Love 5/1!! Love this wonderful group! You guys ROCK!.

Melissa- CONGRATS on your whopping 3 pounds. That is wonderful and I'm so happy for you. My box arrived yesterday!! Will PM you..

Zoe - what on earth did bad kitty do??.

Penny - I'm making do until my TL banner is back..

Jan - Great to see you. You know there's no pressure to keep up here. Just pop in when you can and say hi. Let us know you're still around and doing well. I hope all is going well for you in maintenance land!.

Speaking of maintenance land, have we lost Ella to the TL T&M thread? I miss her. Might have to try to get over there if folks don't stay in touch here too. Bummer..

Gone Country - thanks for the coffee. Leftist blend works for me!.

HI Zoe, Penny, Jan and anyone I missed while posting!!.

I'm just getting to work. I have really been dragging in the morning, no clue why. Some weird stuff going on with my body. I had very light menstrual cramps for a week straight, they stopped on Sunday...but my buddy TOM isn't even supposed to be here until the 15th. Now I have some weird rash between on my back between my shoulderblades. It's not bumpy or anything, just red.

Very weird!.

Well, off to drink my Medifast mocha latte! I'll be lurking...

, when I was on high doses of prednisone (and due to my diagnoses, too), I needed to see my eye doctor on a regular and more "rigorous" schedule than ever before. Trouble was, I had been lucky enough to never really need glasses, so I went to my eyeball practice and made an appointment with whoever was available..

So, when I went I had asked her if she ever had a patient with my issues. She smiled sheepishly and said, this is my first year in practice. If you came along last year, I would have asked you for permission to use you at school... Even though she was new (and I know it was because she was) She looking into every little thing, and made sure that T's were crossed and I's were dotted, spoke with the docs in her practice as well as both my pulmonary and rheumatologist docs to make sure they got and had exactly what they wanted and needed. Love her. She is now and will be forever more MY eyeball doc.



Holy smokes Congrats on your great loss.

Melissa.

You copy cat ! I had a 3# loss yesterday! (Let's keep copying each other that way! LOL It feels great!) Raining thunder/lightning here right now. (I love booming storms).

Unfortunately I can't access your video from work :-( so I'll check it out later!.

I have/had a "bad" kitty too. Only she was a bad kitty because she wanted to be the only kitty. I didn't know that. So over the course of the last 14 years, the other three wonderful kitties died, and now "Precious (from H*LL)" kitty is the last one standing - and she is now the sweetest cat in the world. No more really bad kitty outbreaks!.

Yes, Keri, let's keep copying each other - I love seeing the numbers go down every week!!!! :-).

I'm dressing nicely because everyone (from the Career Planning office down to little piddly online websites) have recommended that I dress the part, even if they're not going to see me. Fun fact: the Career Planning office's research showed that employers are scarily good at figuring out where you are, what you're wearing, and what you're emoting even in a phone interview..

Okay, I'm back... down 2 lbs for the week. I'm very happy that I've lost almost 30 lbs in 8 wks, but at the same time I have sooooo much to lose that I wish these steady 2 lb weeks were 3 lbs weeks. Don't get me wrong. I'm very much celebrating my loss, it's just that I can't even see the light at the end of the tunnel..

I'm trying to focus a little more on short term goals. My bday is Sat. My original goal by my bday was 20 lbs. Once I knew that was too low, I switched it to 30 lbs. So, I'm 3 days away and 2.6 lbs away. Not gonna happen.



I'm taking Freya's advice to heart... float a frigate... I've been having a hard time getting my H20 in. Now with the MIO, I'm doing better. Maybe floating a frigate this week will help next week be a 3lb week..

Deidra, I HIGHLY recommend nixing any date-weight goals. I think those set people up for disaster and also focus on the negative of barely missing the goal rather than celebrating.

My lunch was something so weird and wonderful - I've made shakes with less than enough water so they're goopy. Sometimes I just want goopy. Today I did the same thing with chai latte. It's oddly effervescent. Must be why it bubbles up when I try to make a shake cake with it. Anyway, I added about half a squirt of Mio - berry pomegranate.

Newly licensed folks have all the newest info, are on point so they don't make a mistake or miss something and tend to go the extra mile to cover every aspect. Of course, there are also benefits to great experience which is why all newbies have mentors on the job..

May I have your mailing address? I have, um, a present for you. Please open the box as soon as it arrives, it will be hungry..

I love my bad kitty, but every vet who has seen him agrees that he has a kitty developmental disability..

He enthusiastically humps pillows, stuffed animals, human legs, and other cats, even though he was neutered at 6 months. He weighs 25 pounds but is not fat and is about the height of a cocker spaniel, maybe taller - he puts his paws on my waist to beg for food. He understands but shuns litterboxes and devices designed for scratching. I got Feliway, a spray to discourage his marking, and he pulled it out of the cabinet and peed on it. I put a food bowl in a place he had been peeing because "cats won't pee where they eat" and he peed in the food. He drinks out of the toilet, even if someone has forgotten to flush.

My vet laughs as soon as she sees me come in with him..

He got the tip of his tail skinned accidentally, squawked once, and promptly forgot about it and went off to eat. At the ER vet, they quoted me a price of hundreds and hundreds of dollars to fix him up, but when I got there, the cost was next to nothing because he didn't need any anesthesia because he did not notice they were doing anything to his tail..

Of his redeeming qualities- he is the nicest animal in the world, tolerates everything, and seems to be a source of unending love and affection. He plays fetch better than the dog. He sits on command for treats. He has a heart a mile wide and a brain the size of a pea...

Zoe, you have made me fall in love with your hardheaded dolt of a cat!.

I'm thrilled beyond words that I was able to get an appointment with my neurosurgeon in only TWO days! Before you let your visions of lobotomies and shock treatments run wild, it's for my ankle and foot cramps!.

I was doing a little recreational reading (self-cyber-diagnosing) and learned that the area on which I had spine surgery five and a half years ago is home to the nerves that control the muscles that are causing me not to sleep due to their middle-of-the-night tantrums..

What they'll plan to do remains a mystery to me, even after reading about the various forms of treatment. Could be another surgery, could be a shot... I'm fortunate that my neuro is tops in his field and that I have absolutely NO qualms about agreeing to anything he recommends. I have got to get some sleep...

Carolyn, that's VERY cool! Good for you! Helping kids is the coolest thing anyone can do..

Freya, yeah, this has been almost nightly for years. It's just gotten worse and the cramps have gotten worse. It starts with a little twitch. Then a little stronger. And then my toe is pointing at the ceiling and I'm jumping out of bed, scaring the p*ss out of the cat and my husband. And it's such a weird group of small - but powerful - muscles, I know it's not due to strain or overuse.

I don't get any other cramps. It was just a matter of getting my nerve up. Sleep deprivation and me are mortal enemies...

Public Service Announcement!.

Speaking of peeing in your pants, did you know it is very, very hard to hold your bladder 100% effectively when jumping rope? Leaks are common among females. To prevent any dribbling, be sure to pee immediately beforehand if jump roping in a group workout. Wearing black pants is also helpful...

Well, the interview is over... I feel like it could have gone better. She asked me questions about working in groups and difficult coworkers where I thought "***, I'm in college! I haven't really had these kinds of experiences!" so I had to BS a little... and that's always annoying when you're trying to put your best foot forward..

Time to move on, regardless of the outcome.....

My stewpid meter just went into the red zone!! OMFSM!!!.

Here's the scoop for all of you who did not know this. Liquid sucralose (liquid artificial sweeteners) count as condiments. 3 DROPS = 1 condiment. HOWEVER, Diet soda does NOT count towards anything because they use small amounts of liquid artificial sweeteners. REALLY???.

It's bad enough to hear swill like this come from people who don't know better, but when it comes from NS, it's just beyond disappointing..

OK. [/rant]..

We experienced a problem with a portion of our infrastructure, which affected the ability for some users to log in and access their account. We immediately began maintenance to fix the problem, and have been working diligently to get things running again as quickly as possible.

Well, the diet soda COULD be causing your stall, but not because it's a condiment. They have always maintained that diet soda doesn't need to be counted, but should be limited. I would definitely start cutting back and see if that doesn't make a difference..

I was just dumbfounded at their contraction..

I came home and waiting in my mailbox was my free sample of Mio! Strawberry Watermelon. I am enjoying it in some ice cold bottled water as we speak. Or type. I'm thinking how awesome this would be frozen and then zipped up in my Ninja!.

Wrapped aroung the outside of the Mio box was my first issue of Step-by-Step Wire magazine which makes me happier than the Mio did! Yippity Skippity!.

Partial update to eye doctor drama:.

Assistant HuffnPuff McStankface called and was a condescending little ahole, charming doctor would not talk to me, so I requested the office or practice manager. I had a long talk with her. I was not a jerk and neither was she. I explained what happened and why it was unsatisfactory, and she is having me back in next Monday to see a different doctor at no charge..

I'm as satisifed as I can be, we'll see what Monday brings..

Now I'm off to sit in traffic for an hour or so, get home and toss a cat in a carrier and then whackamole him back in so I can close the lid, and go to the vet with him and a bag of his poop. My glamorous life..

Belated congrats to all you.
