For the program details visit the MWL Guidelines thread in this forum. Please check out as many of the links as you have time for, there is so much here to discover!
A couple of other great resources, for those just starting out, are from Jeff Novick the staff dietician for the program: The Ultimate Guide to Free Calorie Density (MWL) Resources and his 1 hour video explanation on Calorie Density: How to Eat More, Weigh Less and Live Longer.
Hi All!
Welcome and welcome back.
So, it’s December.
I like December.
December can be so fun...so full of friends and shopping and family and maybe even snow, depending on where you live.
December is also packed full of tempting treats. Inordinately so. Food, food everywhere; and we all know I’m not talking sweet potatoes or tomatoes.
Do you have a plan for how to navigate this final month of the holiday season? I do! It’s called the MWL plan.
Why wait until January to start working on your weight loss goals? When, instead, you can really send this year off with a bang!
It can also be a good idea to review this past year and make a list of lessons learned (I stole this from the page where I got that picture above...LOL). It is a pretty good idea.
If you have been stalled with your weight loss for awhile make that list. Where do you need to draw the line?
Join me and make this month your most adherent month of 2019. Let’s do this, go out with a bang!
Amy XO.
Our weigh-ins are on Thursdays and you have until 12 PM PST on Friday to report.
This weekly weigh in group is for those wanting to follow the Maximum Weight Loss (MWL) program or Mary's Mini's. There is a sticky at the top of this forum on the guidelines for the MWL program..
In order to tally the results please submit your results by posting the total pounds you have lost or gained that week. You don't have to share your total weight if you'd rather keep that to yourself. This is an honor system so we take the gain, loss or maintain you give us in order to tally. (Please make a new post each week)
If you are a new member and would like to join but don't have a weight to be counted for the week then you will be counted either as a body with a zero starting weight, or when you check in for the weekly weigh in the following week. Large amounts of weight lost over a period of months or weeks, prior to joining the weekly weigh in group, will not be counted towards the weekly total.
If you measure your weight in something other than pounds please convert the measurement to pounds.
All gains will be counted towards the total to encourage weekly participation. Posting is encouraged whether it's a gain, a loss, or a maintain.
You are welcome to share as little or as much as you want on your weight loss journey here in this thread. We encourage members of the group to talk to each other, cheer each other on and set goals together.
This thread is for the mutual support of all who wish to participate.
*This is merely an example of one strategy, versus an endorsed part of the MWL program.
