100 Days Path

Many of the entries in this blog are my diary entries as I work my way through the book 100 Days of Weight Loss: The Secret to Being Successful on any Diet Plan by Linda Spangle.

Switching Gears

So after one week back on MF I was again having some of the same problems I developed last spring. One of those problems is the complete BOREDOM with the food. It is so limiting and of everything they offer, I only like about 60% of the products. I recently sold on eBay all the MF products that I didn't like. It's nice to get some of that money back.

The other problem is related to my Crohn's Disease. After 5-6 days of sticking to MF, my body just starts to go nuts. Too much green stuff! I can tolerate veggies pretty well but apparently day after day of lots of veggies and no starches my body gets upset.

Well, since starches and grains are not allowed on MF, I knew I had to find a different solution.

Since I'm a numbers person, I decided to go with Weight Watchers. I know my weightloss will be slower than it is on MF but I think I can stick to it easier since more variety is allowed.

I've calculated the WW points on my remaining MF products and are continuing to eat those along with other foods. For instance, the MF oatmeal (which I LOVE and is the ONLY oatmeal I can tolerate) is only 1 point!

I was also getting absolutely no support from my MF coach and considering the cost of the MF products, my monthly subscription to WW online ($17) will be saving me considerable money.

So, still on the path of weightloss, just decided to take a different route!
