Up 1.5 from last week. Traveling and eating bread in excess for a few days will do that...

I'm pretty much starting over with the weight loss again. Got sidetracked when I added my kids and started eating more on the regular McDougall plan, then went off almost entirely, but now I need to get back on as I'm regaining the weight pretty quickly.

Thank you! The only thing that's different for me is really no animal and no oil. Probably, really, honestly, I need to eliminate caffeine before anything else. Coffee went years ago, but I think the tea is a problem also. sigh.

I've given up coffee, but was not a heavy user. I'll probably never give up tea unless some really compelling evidence proves that it's damaging my health. I am drinking more green teas and enjoy herbal tea in the evening. I figure if that's the only 'bad' habit I have, I'm doing pretty good! :mrgreen:

I'm down .2 pound this week.

Thanks for getting my number in last week despite my tardiness--I appreciate your effort as always!

I will be putting my scale away for the month of August. Its becoming too much of a focal point for me which is causing me quite a bit of stress. I stayed the same this week, but Im finding the scale just bouncing and feel under stress. I will be switching BC meds this next week plus ToM will be making an appearance too. The scale will be making its home in my garage.

I cant say I will not weigh at least once or twice this month as Ive been a daily weigher for at least the last 15 years.

Debbie, I know that changing your weigh-in habits can sometimes be difficult. I probably weigh in most days too, but I only try to pay attention to one or two (Tues or Sat). I knew someone who had her husband hide her scale and she proceeded to find a GNC store where she had to physically go to to weigh herself. I hope it's not that trying for you--be well girl!

I'm bad about weighing every day too. Keep trying to get myself not too but I keep doing it anyway.

Debbie don't worry about your weight going up or down or staying the same while the Doctors change your medicine. Focus on eating McDougall and stick with us.

Actually you should probably track your weight to see how the medicine is affecting you and communicate that with your Doctors. If there is a side affect you don't like such as excessive weight gain. Did you ask them about it and see if there isn't something else that will work with you or they want you to try this first?

You have to have this medicine for your thyroid, right? It controls the hormone replacement?

I respect if you want to shelve the scale for now but I hope you stick around and update like you've been doing on the weigh ins.

I ended July weighing 205. I'm really impressed with my first month on the McDougall Program and I'm amazed I lost 15 lbs. I've never lost 15 lbs. in a month before.
