“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle…” – Martin Luther King, Jr. I’d love to say that my second week on the Medifast plan was easier than the first, but it was harder, actually. The hunger pangs have all but disappeared, but I’m finding myself thinking about food […]
Weight Loss
Taking it off with Medifast | Week 1
I (re)started Medifast on December 31st. I figured I’d end the year on a good note, and start off 2012 on the right foot. And that I did. I’ve lost 7 pounds. How fantastic is that!

I need to say BOO! to the Halloween candy
In the 6 weeks between August 1st and mid September, I lost 20 pounds on a low-carb diet. Yay me! I feel great. I’m full of energy and haven’t had a headache in weeks (which I used to get almost daily). My husband compliments me left and right. My pants aren’t as snug. My bras […]
