Dr. McDougall's Online Discussion Board

Hello! I just had to share that I am now down over 70 lbs! I have lost 71.4 lbs in 23 weeks. I feel great, and, as I have said before, it has been really easy. I haven't even really started pumping up my exercise yet! (I do walk a fair amount, since I have a big, young dog. And I like walking.)

I just started the Hundred Pushups program (using the iPhone app) - I'm up to 16 , and when I hit 220 (only 25 more lbs!) I will start doing Couch to 5K - very slowly.

I'm really excited about all of this, and I really appreciate all the support from the boards! Thank you.

Fantastic! I'm also excited for you! Happy McDougalling!

Great work KM23! Have people started not recognizing you yet?

Awesome. I am going to look in to the push up app.

Fantastic!!!!

Thanks, everyone!

Geo - I think maybe someone didn't recognize me yesterday. It is someone I met 5 days before I started MWL and hadn't seen since. Maybe he wouldn't have recognized me anyway! I have gotten a lot of compliments, but it took a good 55-60 lbs before people really started to notice.

That's awesome Katey!!! Congrats, and keep up the great work.

Hi Katey! Yes it does seem like it takes a lot of weight loss before people start noticing. I think I lost about 40 before I got my first comment about "looking thinner". Now I hear it almost daily. I've just gone over 80 lbs lost, but I started MWL about 2 1/2 weeks before you did I made a quick post in the lounge this morning... Its good to see that MWL really does work and isn't hard at all from multiple people! I still have 20-30 lbs to lose I think so I'll be around for a while longer

Big CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congratulations, Katey!!! I had about 40-45 pounds to lose. So far I've lost 8 pounds and no one has noticed yet, but I didn't really expect them to.

You've done such a great job! Good for you!!!!

Thanks again!

Geo - that is AWESOME that you have lost so much and that you are so close to your goal!

Wow Katey You really are an inspiration!

Huge, huge congratulations to you!

Keep McDougalling.

Congratulations Katey!

That is amazing progress... what an inspiration you are!

Do you have any of your menus posted anywhere?

Thanks, Deb! No, I don't have any menus posted. I keep it pretty simple for the most part. Oatmeal with fruit every morning. Then mostly potatoes and various veggies. Beans a few times a week.

Boring, but I think that is part of what is working for me. Boring means I don't eat as much, because I'm bored! And then occasionally I spice it up a bit. Last night I made a variation on Jeff Novick's basic veggie burgers.
