Today was weigh in after 3 weeks on Medifast. I felt like I handled the week pretty well and got very excited to get on the scale this morning and see 161.2!! Thats a loss of 3.7 lbs this week! So why is it then that I am trying talk myself into coming off the plan all day? My back hurt, I was ready to blame Medifast. Really I am just looking for an excuse. We are having company all weekend. I look forward to it but hate that I will not be enjoying the yummy food that will come along with it. But on the other hand, I am so close to my lowest weight and think that I should be even more motivated! Two more lbs and I will be in the 150's. I havent been in the 150's since college which was well over a decade ago. Since having children via c-secions and getting this *new body* I know that I wont look like I did back then but I am still excited. I have had a few people tell me that I dont have any more to lose. According to the BMI charts I have 15-20 more lbs to lose to be considered healthy. I again talked to my husband about what he thought and he agrees that I should keep going. My goal all along has been 150, even though I still am considered overweight by the BMI standards at that weight.
I feel the anxiety of my unexplained health situation coming back and somehow it has taken away a little of the excitement of losing on Medifast. There are some new symptoms, and some old ones that have revisited that get me concerned. But I am trying my best to have faith that it isnt serious because they havent found anythng yet. I am trying so hard to find comfort in that.
Today's reason for losing weight:
*Today my daughter had a mothers day event at her preschool. It was so cute. And there are always a lot of pictures taken and posted for everyone to see. When looking at them today, I realized that I didnt think "wow...I look fat". Now, I didnt exactly love how I looked but I did not pick at my weight like I have so many times in the past.
Today I am thankful for:
*my ambition to clean my house today! Its so much nicer to do when you are ambitious!

You are a losing machine :)
So happy to see that you are doing so well!
3.7 lbs is Awesome!!! :D :D
Keep remembering what you're gaining as you're losing ~ not what you're missing out on... ? Maybe that slight shift of mind will help?
You're doing GREAT!!
Happy Mother's Day! Congrats on the weight loss!!
I think you should work towards your goal of 150 pounds. It's very do-able, and it'll give you a great sense of accomplishment to hit that mark. If you stop just shy of it, you'll always wonder "could I do it? What if I did?" So...go for it!
Congrats on the weight lossage!!!
