I lost 1.1 lbs this week. Now to get through Memorial Day weekend out of town.
NOTE: We are updating and reorganizing the forums. This is the place to learn about the McDougall program and get support in following the program.

I am down 1.8 lbs. this week. Now that the weather is getting warmer I started to walk 2 weeks ago. First week I did 15 minutes every morning. I know it doesn't seem like much but it is for me. Second week (which I just finished this morning) 30 minutes a day. On Monday I will do 45 minutes. I am aiming for 6 days a week with Sunday off.
Hope everyone has a good Memorial Day and we will see you in June.

I almost forgot ... after a week off work, I get confused with the weekdays ...
And I can only report a gain ... 3 lbs
I actually managed quiet well for being at home and on break.
I had more veggies with my meals ... it's still a struggle for me. And since it is the first week of warm weather, I had a lot of fruit
I had a good week of managing the works in the new practice, studying und lot's of gardening.
Thinking about my food this week ... no idea where I got the 3 lbs from ... With my weight, I must have eaten way over 4000 calories to gain this much ... no way!
... I am still a little disappointed with my weight. But, as said before, I need to focus on other things at the moment. But I didn't have a single nut, avocado etc.
On facebook I read about these people who loose so much weight ... well, it's just the way it is. And I am still very happy about my improved blood pressure
Have a great Sunday everyone!

Hi Amy:
Yes, I am still having trouble staying on track....still caught in that darn Pleasure Trap. My husband does not follow this plan (I wish he would give it a try since he suffers from 2 auto immune diseases), so I have peanut butter, whole grain bread & pasta, and some snacks for my grandson in the house. I can go for weeks without touching them, but then I end up eating these things thinking I can control myself....NOT! I know what they say....."in your house, in your mouth...not a matter of if, but when". Then I start the mindset of, well... I'll just buy this one candy bar and start back on MWL tomorrow. I know Dr. Lisle says it takes about 3 days before that grip of the Pleasure Trap lessens. Well, I don't want to make excuses, but do you know that feeling of not being in control of your "time" because family obligations are pulling you every which way? I love my family, dearly, but something happens when I am pulled out of my routine and lose control of my "time". Anyway...enough rambling...I will get passed this struggle.
Take care and thanks for your support.
