July 2020 McDougall MWL Weigh-In Group

[Renestl]

I'd like to join! This is perfect timing. I've been on and off of starch solution for the past 2 years and thought I was doing "pretty good", but a health scare last week showed me that only having one foot in this is not working. Im ready to get it right.

Hello,

I am excited to join the July weigh in Team. I have struggled with weight all my life. ( I am 46 yrs young ) I struggle with preparing healthy meals, and tend to fall back on picking up restaurant food.

One of my goals this month is to ensure I have premade starches available to mix with frozen vegetables. I also want to focus on increasing my physical activity. Since gyms are closed due to Covid 19, I was fortunate to acquire a recumbent bike and an outdoor glider.

I lost my brother to suicide last Wednesday, when I saw this challenge, I knew it would be a great way for me to stay focused and improve my health.

Thank you for the opportunity!!

Thank you for adding me to the group! I am looking forward to interacting with everyone. I have lost weight following a vegan plan over the past year but have slowed down. I want to hone in on the MWL to continue lose weight. Lot of great information posted here, I look forward to reading more of it. Leslie

Hi Mark and Everyone,

My first attempt was with the April group but I only made it 3 weeks. I’m grateful for the invitation and request to join. Determined to make this time different with renewed dedication. Thanks again for the consideration.

Hello, I would like to join in for July. I attended a McDougall 10 day program in October 2011 and I initially lost weight. I've stayed on the program, but I indulged in bread and tortilla chips. Now I am where I started in October 2011. I'm eager to see what will happen by following the MWL program. Best of luck to us all!

Ready to get serious. Have been following the Starch Solution and lost 17lbs but the scale hasn’t moved in 2 months. Current weight 206. Height 5’9”. Goal 175lbs so 31lbs to go!
I am having surgery july 15th but I figure less time spent in the kitchen will make it easier to eat whole foods! I have hypothyroidism and Hashimotos, have had breast cancer w/chemo and rads. Next surgery will be my 10th surgery. I want to feel good again.

I want to join. Looking forward to this and the added motivation to stick to this way of eating.

Hello All - I too am looking forward to joining this group. I have been following many of the McDougall principles for years, but eating too much - I think I need to work on becoming more mindful of the satiety signals and learning how to stop eating then. Thanks.

Hi! I’d like to join for July too!

I’ve been picking up more bad habits than good ones lately. Turned 40 in December 2019. Have a 16 month old daughter who RUNS everywhere. I was super fit in my 20’s and 30’s and now I am super not!! I don’t have much weight to lose but I have noticed a change in my metabolism, I’m too tired for anything lately and I need to stay young because this kid needs her mama. I don’t want to have her taking care of me Or even worrying about me when she is in the prime of her life. And with my family health history she could be. Luckily I’ve avoided all of the signs so far. Glad to be a part of this group for July

Perfect timing and I would love to join this group. I've been plant based for a few years and enjoy eating this way but need to strengthen my good habits and stop getting off track!

Thanks!
