The light finally clicked on overhead and who knew if one really stuck to the program, it works!lol I've been following the MWLP with no falling off for about a week now and am already seeing progress.
I finally got Dr. McDougall's MWL book and also got The China Study.
I've been trying Mary's mini diet off and on for quite some time and then fell off completely.
But I'm here and I'm sticking with MWLP as exact as I can.
So far I'm focusing on the MWLP and then will get to adding in my exercising. I'm waiting for my treadmill to be delivered, so it will be great to get started on it when it gets here!
I do like that I am able to focus on the MWLP first though. I tend to better that way. (one thing at a time )

We have several vegan-type restaurants in different areas of town. It would be nice if we McDougaller's could manage to get together. If not, I could give you a run-down of some places you might want to try.

LauraA, I'm sorry you won't be in Baltimore longer. A MWL get together sounds like fun. I hope you enjoy your time here.
Well, I guess I can't put the bad news off any longer. I gained 5 pounds this week. I am stunned. I had some slip ups and was figuring on not seeing a loss, but I can't believe I slipped up THIS much. I adjusted my ticker up, because I want to be really honest with myself and with the group.
The good news is, my blood sugar this morning was 88, which is the lowest fasting number I've EVER had since being diagnosed with diabetes 5 years ago! And this morning I woke up early and exercised. So I'm doing well, getting healthier, and that's more important than a number on the scale.
I know that, but I'm still upset.
This is the first setback I've had since starting MWL on January 1. I need to just move on, focus on the program and let the scale do what it will.
I won't be able to be 100% MWL this week. Passover is coming, and there are some foods for the seder that are not MWL. I'm going to keep it to a minimum, though -- no dessert, and just eating matzo and charoset at the seder, not all week like I usually do. I bought way too much stuff if that's what I'm going to do, but so be it. I'd rather waste money than gain weight.
So that's the plan for this week -- strict MWL except for the seder. Exercise 6 days. Add some beginner and pre-Pilates exercises to my routine on the days between classes. And see what happens.
I'm cross-posting this in my journal.

Have you worked out a cooking method that works for you and if so could you share or point me to your blog place?
I have done every wrong thing, lied to myself, tricked myself...For awhile I even said I ate mcdougall except I cooked with oil. HA HA HA HA!!! That's a good one. Anyway, I am into facing myself squarely in the mirror and living the truth in all this. So, I am a little extreme, probably a little annoying. I try to soften that by cheering us all on!!
Here is to a good night sleep and a happy weigh in day tomorrow.
