Dr. McDougall's Online Discussion Board

Forgot to post last week but I stayed the same then anyway. I am down 1.8 lbs this week.

Up 1.4 this week. My clothes are looser so Im just not sure whats up.

Well, I meant to get back into the weigh-in group a couple of months ago, but never did it. My new starting weight is 180.0 as compared to the 176 I had the last time I weighed in. You can either put me at +4 or start me over again.

Stayed the same this week and I know exactly why......CHOCOLATE!!!!!! Ugh! I will lose next week!

hmmmm... this is the second week that my first post did not post. Posted early this morning after weighing. NO idea what I am doing wrong here... so here goes again...

This week, a pound up. I have really been doing nothing differently so I am not encouraged by this as I don't know what to change.
I find that I get upset when outcomes that don't happen come along with doing the same things as what worked before, Nothing refined, no flour products... so it is what it is. If I was counting calories which I used to, it's unlikely I am taking in more than 1300 in a day and I really don't want to count at all. Ok, enough whining, it is not at all interesting!

I decided NOT to listen to that 5 year old in my head who says, "well... then eat whatever you want, it isn't making a difference anyway.."

At this point though, in living McDougall, there would really be nowhere to "go" that I want to be.

Still, I am discouraged. Need to get over myself here...

I hope this post posts.

Don't be discouraged, Trish. You're already in a healthy weight range, so it will just take longer. You can't be in it for the weight loss if you're a BMI < 25, but for the health gain. And with you sticking to the WOE you're already achieving just that! I wish I were already in your position!

Trish-Hang in there!!! I found that I got a bump in the right direction when I almost doubled the amount of leafy green vegetables, huge salads and cooked kale with Louisiana hot sauce (because I'm Southern!).

So I met my January goal of staying compliant to this WOE and no wine
I also stayed off the scales until today. Down 7.8 pounds for January. I had hoped that it would be more but it is a start!

belties, I will lean in that direction... no one will ever find me complaining about more leafy greens, and I could juice more than once a week too, though I know that is not do much for volume fullness it seems to always be a real energy and mood boost AND I get my kale in, not being sufficiently southern I am generally 'reduced' to baked kale chips or juicing it!

mike.. thank you for your support, I will and you are so right (though I can't promise not to get discouraged) that I remember the health benefits, and they have been tremendous over this past several years including reversal of my husband's heart disease, dropping my cholesterol (not his yet... I can testify that oil even in small quantities does matter on this.

And most amazingly I have been a type 1 insulin dependent diabetic for over 40 years and on this WOE my insulin requirements are dropping significantly. Though I will always be on it as a type 1, I can really really SEE now how eating McDougall can CURE type 2.. insulin sensitivity goes up and dosage drops, and with a functioning but overloaded pancreas as in type 2 it could well drop it to zero!
If this happens for someone like me without an functioning pancreas, it WILL happen for you!

tcasteel -- great month!!

Thanks for being here with a thumbs up.. backatcha as the kids say
