Take it off Monday: Week 3

They call it the "week 3 slump".  And I hit it.  I did expect it, however.  You can't go and lose 7lbs in 2 weeks and hope to keep losing at that pace.  That's not even healthy!  So, I'm happy to report that I lost 1 pound this week.  And although that may not be much, I'm still one step closer to my goal of 30 pounds and that sure is something to be proud of!

This week, I thought I'd share with you this wonderful infograph created by the Medifast team. It perfectly displays the 5 and 1 plan on an average day.

What's so great about this plan is that you can totally make it your own!  And there are so many food choices that you don't feel like you're eating the same thing day after day.

If you have any questions about the 5 & 1 plan, let me know!
