MediFast Update – Week Seven

in Health/Fitness on

weightloss

Let’s just say last week was great, this week not so much. For some reason I just really had a had time staying on plan, so much so that a few days I was totally off. Had lunch with a co-worker, dinner at Outback with the family, and lunch with my daughter because she was home sick from school. What does this mean? It means my review of the MediFast one is a “real” one. I don’t know a lot of people that are so strict they never slip now and then.

However it is Sunday and today has been a great day. I’ve actually “bet” on my success this month when I joined DietBet which I found through another bloggers site. This is not a plan or any type of service. It is a friendly wager between friends. I put $25 into the put betting that I will lose 4% of my body weight in 28 days. This figure is extremely reasonable and puts me at a need to lose 6.6 lbs in the 28 days. I think it will be fun and a great motivator.

I did get moving a little this weekend. Saturday morning I popped in Zumba Core for the Kinect and worked out for 20 minutes. Sunday I began the C5K program and walked/ran for 31 minutes on the treadmill. I’m really going to try to commit to that and see if I can finish the program.

With all that said I chose once again to NOT weigh myself on Saturday. I was forced to weigh myself Sunday morning in order to weigh in for the DietBet challenge but since it wasn’t on my normally weekly day I’ve chosen not to post it. Lets just say it was not pretty!

Starting Weight: 180.6
Week One Weight: 172.8
Week Two Weight: 170.8
Week Three Weight: 168.4
Week Four & Five Weight: 165.0
Week Six Weight: 163.4
Week Six Weight: No weigh

Total Weight Loss: 17.2 lbs

  5. I think you are doing Super! Even if you didn’t lose any weight this week. At least you didn’t gain or make a bunch of excuses. Keep up the great work!

  9. Do NOT be too hard on yourself. First, I am certain it’s not nearly as bad as you are emotionally making it for yourself. Second, this is one of those times when it would be easy to give up or call it quits/sabotage yourself. Instead, just focus on the future and get back on track!

  11. We all slip-up! Yesterday was a difficult day for me going to a birthday party that had ice cream, store-bought birthday cake and pizza/wings. I ate before I left and had a small slice of cake. You can get back on track!!!

  30. Oh well.. over all you’ve done a phenomenal job up to this point.. And you’re right. I don’t know of anyone that can be that tough on them selves and have enough willpower to NOT slip in all this amount of time. It happens!

  31. You are doing a great job, Colleen! The one reason I’m putting off strength training is that in the past when I did a lot of strength training the scales go up. I know that I lose inches, but I’m sadly a bit of a slave to the scales. When they go up it just messes up my mindset. :/

  35. Colleen – just want to let you know that I am rooting for you and have every confidence that you will not only win the bet – but also the greater challenge of winning the battle! I want to congratulate you on your success to date, your diligence, determination and discipline are awesome – really – and all the more so that you chose to take on this battle throughout the season of overwhelming temptation.

    Thank for sharing your experience, your courage and your candor. Good luck!

  36. I need to lose 60 pounds to become eligible for a kidney transplant, so I understand the problems you are having. I hope you make it.

  37. I still think that you are doing good. It is so hard sometimes when you are on a plan to lose weight every week. I want to lose as much as you lost. I would love to lose 17 lbs. I am going to try to lose some weight this Spring and Summer! Good Luck!

  38. The scales might not have been pretty but 17.2 pounds lost in six weeks is still awesome! And that those weeks fell over the holidays is even more awesome!!
