good for you Mommylut. Sometimes we just have to say no and get rid of it. I know bagels are a big down fall for me.

Hi all! Hope everyone is staying warm. We have snow in the forescast for Friday! Yeah! (do you hear the sarcasm?) :P
I have avoided posting because I have been a little down...no big deal, but here it is: I went to my PCP Monday, all smiles and hoping to get a perfect report, because, after all, I've been McDougalling for a month! Shouldn't I be all better?? Well, my numbers aren't that great, except for blood sugar, which had dropped 30 points and my BP which was pretty good. She was more excited than I was, but grimaced when I said I was not taking a calcium supplement or Vit D.

Anyway, I am back, and I am strong and NOTHING is going to stop me now, not even me!!

So, let's all weigh in tomorrow and see how we are doing. Good, bad, or in between. Let's do this together. I will tally the results like Maread did, and let you know the results on Friday.

Amy, in one month you've lost 17 pounds and your blood sugar has dropped 30 points. CELEBRATE! The other changes will come in time.

Go Amy, Go Amy, rah, rah, rah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Kristy- Is this your first week? If so, I will go ahead and post Friday morning; if you have been doing this more than a week and have a weight change to share, I will wait for you before totalling our results.

Mommylut- Good for you for feeding the trash can! That's hard to do, but didn't you feel good?

Toadfood- Thanks for the cheer! You're right.....I AM celebrating my successes.

REMINDER TO EVERYONE: Tomorrow is our first weigh in for November. Join the fun and post your numbers. I will tally them and post results on Friday.

Hi gang! I hope everyone gets good news at weigh-in.

I'm back down below my previous low weight, yay! You can put me down for a net loss of 0.4 pound. Now I just need to hang on to success and see if I can lose weight two weeks in a row. :lol:

I'm going to have a busy weekend, so I'm trying to get food prep done now. Last night I went to the grocery store, bought 10 lbs of potatoes and ingredients for the Three Sisters Stew in the October newsletter. I baked the potatoes when I got home last night. Tomorrow is an early day at work, so I'll make the stew then.

I'm on plan and planning to stay that way.

Hi. I lost 3 pounds this week. This is the lowest i have been in a long time. I cut the amount of starch i was eating and left the veggies, fruit, and beans the same.

I've had a busy couple of days but found time to cook a quick supper plus some raw veggies to fill me up.

Amy - I started the 10 day MM 11 days ago, and as of Monday, I had lost 6 pounds all due to that. I joined this thread on November 2nd I think. So I don't know how you want to count it. I will weigh in tomorrow morning at the gym (I don't have a scale at home), and I'll let you know my total total then. Mabe after this week I can get on schedule with you gals and weigh in on Thursday to simplify things

Hi, this is my starting weight for my MWL journey,172.4.Next week I will report and every week thereafter, no matter how I feel about the number on the scale.

I started a diet support group in my home yest.,there are just 3 of us for now. The others aren't McDougalling but one has read some books I gave her and is moving in that direction just not ready to totally commit yet. I just have to lose more weight than them every week and then maybe they will see the light :D

Good morning all. I’m on plan and planning to stay that way. I’m down 3.0 pounds for the week. My loss this week helped me pass two milestones. I’ve now dropped below 350 which is nice, and I now have less than 200 pounds left to lose which is also nice. The next big milestone for me will be reaching the weight of 336 which would put me past the ½ way mark between where I started and my goal weight. Here is a link to my updated weight loss stats.

Hi Lindas,
We just post our weekly weight loss results in this thread. We don’t have a separate link/thread/post for weight loss results. Congratulations on your one pound loss for the week. :)
