Re: January 2017 McDougall Weigh In Group
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 7:49 amHello! I'd like to join in this month.
I'm down 5.9 pounds this week. Probably I lost so much more because of all of the food I was eating over the holidays.

Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:41 amHello! I'm Chelsea and I've been living a vegan lifestyle now for almost 7 months. My first book I ever read about a plant-based diet was Dr. McDougall's The Starch Solution. I loved how easy his book was to read and thought it was a great starter book for me getting introduced to this new lifestyle.
These past 7 months I have been eating vegan, but in a very unhealthy way. I've always had a huge sweet tooth (I say all my teeth are sweet teeth lol) and I have always enjoyed eating at restaurants. Being vegan, I wanted to try everything I could get my hands on, as well as try every item at every vegan restaurant I could. Lol. I was so excited to change my way of thinking, and I changed what my food was made of...but didn't change my eating habits all that much.
Now it's time to change that. My best friend got me The McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook for Christmas, and I've made three recipes this week from it: Mexican Lasagna, Ravioli Marinara, and Black Bean Sloppy Joes. These are definitely healthier meals to have than the ones I've been previously eating, but I really want to do more for my weight loss. Are there a few of the MWL recipes in the Quick and Easy cookbook that I can make? I ask because quick and easy are my first and middle names, rofl! I am not someone who particularly enjoys being in the kitchen, so when I was able to make the three recipes I did; they tasted AMAZING and I didn't have to do much in the kitchen...I was ecstatic! Lol.
Anyways, I've struggled with weight all of my adult life, and it's definitely due to bad habits. I'm not sure I can completely adhere to the MWL program at first, but I will strive to do so as I make more of the MWL meals. I also do plan on starting to exercise more.
I will weigh in this evening when I get home from work. Although, I've heard it's best to weight in first thing in the morning before eating, so maybe I will weigh in first thing tomorrow. You said to weigh in by noon PST Saturday, right? So that would be by 3pm EST. I'll definitely have a weigh in by then.

Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 9:17 amFirst week, three pounds down.
As I wasn't nearly compliant enough I suppose it shows how badly I was eating during the holidays as opposed to how well I did this week.

Re: January 2017 McDougall Weigh In Group
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 10:41 amI am just starting today my weight is 164.4 and I'm only 5 2" I went to Dr. McDougall's 10 day program and it was amazing from there I went to True North in Santa Rosa for two stays of 21 days both times, also was amazing. I know how to eat right it's just a matter of doing it. my doctor has recently put me on antidepressants and they have caused me a great deal of weight gain! He told me that they would increase my appetite boy he wasn't kidding! I'm praying the weight gain is only because the increase in appetite and not some chemical off-balance that the medication is doing to my body. If anybody has had any experience with weight gain from antidepressants and you feel comfortable with sharing your solutions that you did I would be so thankful to hear them.

Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 12:06 pmHi! I'm looking forward to joining this group! I will weigh in tomorrow and post. I have been trying to lose my last 15lbs of baby weight for two years now. I feel frustrated like a hamster on a wheel as my weight won't budge. I am looking forward to the accountability that this group will provide and to sharing the WFPB lifestyle with everyone!!!
Re: January 2017 McDougall Weigh In Group
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 1:02 pmOk...I finally weighed myself and ready for the challenge. I lost 35 lbs two summers ago and I was surprised to find this morning that I only gained 20 lbs back. I hope to lose at least 30 lbs and I start today.
