I'm celebrating my 1 year anniversary of following the McDougall Program. Thank you to Dr McDougall, Jeff Novick and Dr Lisle and to Amy, who leads the Weigh In Threads here on the forum. I couldn't have done this without you all
I started following the McDougall Program on 12th May 2017 after re-reading (for the 3rd or 4th time) Dr McDougall’s ‘12 Days To Dynamic Health’ and ‘The Maximum Weight Loss Program’ while on holiday. My weight that day was 149 pounds (10 stone 9 pounds). I reached my goal weight of 124 pounds ( 8 stone 12 pounds) on 1st March 2018 and have fluctuated between 123 and 126 pounds since then.
You can read more about my story here...My goal for year 2 is to keep eating this way and to stay at or under my goal weight. I'd love to say its all plain sailing now but it isn't. I still get tempted and have days when I go off-program, but I've learnt that if I keep going back to this way of eating I will get back to my goal weight. I continue to weigh daily because it helps me reset quickly when I eat off-program.
Recently, I’ve been reflecting on my motivation to continue with this way of eating in this weight maintenance mode. My goals are to continue to feel good and to remain as healthy as I can
