And by halfway I just mean halfway through with the full fast or "active weight loss" phase. Yeah!! It feels good to be there!
So here is a summary:
Optifast products: 6 per day...I typically have 4 shakes, 1 bar and 1 soup
Cheats: ZERO!!!!!!!
Water: at least 64oz per day, often times 72oz plus the fluid from the shakes. :-)
Weight at start: 241.6
Todays weight: 215.8
Total weight lost: 25.8lbs
3.7lbs/week
Weeks of product: 7
I'm somewhat surprised that I'm averaging 3.7lbs/week. I thought I would stay closer to the 2-3lb range. I do know that I lost more the first week so it ups the average, but I guess I thought it would even out by then. :-) Yeah!
I took the dogs on a walk this morning. I can't seem to make myself run/walk on Thursdays. I just don't get enough sleep because I need a couple hours to wind down at night and I don't think I get it when I don't get home til 8. Ah well. As long as I walk! I also parked at the free lot for the hospital that is about a 10min walk away. Doing both of those things brought me very close to 10000 steps per day so I think I'll keep that up.
I still feel like I should be more nervous to either go back to food or maintain, but I'm really just focusing on getting the job done! I've lost weight counting calories before so I'm not too worried about that part especially since I think I will have momentum going into it. As far as maintenance goes, I'll see when I get there!
A running coach came to talk to us last night. I've seen his car around town and I've been curious. During the maintenance phase Kaiser has lifestyle courses. One is going to be a running group. I have a feeling I'll be joining that one.
Other than that not much is going on. I suppose that's a good thing!!

Any new blogs out there??
When I was looking into this program I was on a hunt for blogs, specifically success stories. I read the ones that I could find, but I'm finding that this blog doesn't even show up on searches. Does anyone know how to search in a better way?? Or maybe there really aren't new blogs? I think what is hard about the old ones is that many stop at some point after the blogger enters maintenance and then starts gaining weight. I'm sure it would be hard to continue to blog at that point. I hope I succeed and a year after maintenance I start blogging about all of the benefits to losing the weight and keeping it off! Or something similar!
If anyone out there is reading this and has found any other newer blogs that appear inspiring let me know!
After Wednesday I will be halfway through full fast!! If I go buy my current weight I am in the upper 210s and will hopefully cross below 215 in a week and a half or so! I know I shouldn't set deadlines for weight loss goals, but I'm thinking of it more like a prediction. :-) I'm really hoping to have lost half of the weight by end of phase 1! If I can dip below 200 before transition starts I will be super happy. I remember a few years ago after I left my travel nurse assignment in San Diego I went to Seattle with some of my nurse friends from SD and I told one of them that I was horrified that my weight had ballooned up to almost a new "century." That number was 190-something. I remember being devastated and miserable. I thought my weight would never get that high. Previously when I had thought I was "fat" my weight was around 165-175 which really isn't too far into the overweight range for my height of 5'8". I never thought I would enter the obese category. I feel like I have lost the last 5 or so years of my life being at this weight because it has held me back from doing things I enjoy and meeting new people in the cities I traveled to. Even here it has kept me from going out and enjoying what I want to! There is so much to love about the bay area and I need to get out and explore more! Anyway, I didn't come here to write about any of that. And I can't think about what I haven't done, but I can focus on taking this 1 day at a time and think about all of the physical things I want to do when I meet my goals! I even took my bike out the other day (to ride to the movies) and I was so much more comfortable on it then 20lbs ago. I'm still a chicken and afraid to fall, but feeling lighter definitely helped!!
Signing off...keep up the hard work and let me know if you know of any blogs for people starting out on this journey or recently transitioned and successfully maintaining!!

Hungry today...
I have only had a few moments where I would say I am really truly just hungry. I've had regular, it's about time for me to eat hunger and I have a product and all is good. But today for some reason I'm having stomach growling, headache hunger. I wonder if it's about T.O.M cause I know that in general your metabolism goes up around then. It could also because I did week 4, day 1 of the C25K app first thing. I think I ran faster than usual and it was job 3m, walk 90s, jog 5m, walk 2.5m, jog 3m, all 90s, jog 5m. So a total of 16min jogging vs 9min previously. So it's entirely possible I was hungry, or didn't drink enough water first. The water part would explain the headache, of course so would hunger. Who knows...I am trying to get some fluids in and have moved my products to 2hrs apt for the most part today. I've also been skimping on the fiber the last few days which I know can make me feel less full. I'm trying to make sure it's true hunger and not mouth hunger (from boredom, emotions, etc.) I'm not really feeling stressed about anything. I might be a little bored, but I truly feel like it is real hunger. So water it is! If I'm hungry 20m after the water I think I'll make a tea. I really like to save my soup for at least 5pm.
It is lab/med check week at Kaiser. I went today to get the labs. Hopefully they are all good. The HH is back and totally fine, on the high side of fine so that also leads me to believe I might be slightly dehydrated. We'll see what the rest show.
I weighed myself this am (before the exercise madness) and I'm 219 this am. Whoop! Of course it only really matters what my weight is on Thursday am. I have a feeling it will be about 219 or maybe even 218. That would be great! If I'm at 220 or less I get to buy new bowls to eat my soup in. I'm pretty excited. Silly I know, but I never really let myself buy cute dining things hurrah! We are supposed to come up with a goal for group this week. It's supposed to be a smart goal and we are going to tell everyone. I think instead of doing an exercise goal I'm going to sit at my table to eat my soup. The obvious benefit is to stop mindless eating. The secondary benefit will be no more dogs staring at me hoping for a drop of soup. :-)
Not much else is happening. I feel very fortunate that I get to do this in an apt all alone and not surrounded by people all the time. Good thing I'm somewhat of an introvert or I would be going bananas. :-)

Week 7 Weigh-in
I feel like I should be writing about more than weights, but that's sort of what I'm focused on right now! So here it is...6 weeks of the program complete, 5 week full fast and my grand total is 20.6lbs! I'm considering it 5 weeks of weight loss since I didn't make any changes week 1. That's just over 4lbs/week! Wahoo!!!! That means I am 1/4 of the way to goal. I'm hoping next week I leave the 220s behind. Just a couple more pounds and I will be back to the weight I was at when I went to Europe (and came back) a couple years ago. So I'm happy about that. Next goal is to get back to my "leaving San Diego" weight. :-)
One of my friends I work with keeps making comments about weight loss which I think she bases on her own personal experience. She has never been overweight (although she claims to have gained 40lbs with her last pregnancy. I think what people who just think they weigh too much don't really grasp what it means to really be for real overweight. They also don't understand that when you weigh more you just lose weight faster. I shouldn't have been annoyed at her comment. After she made the comment that was basically that I wouldn't be able to lose 1-2lbs/week after the fast part of this is over she kept going on and on about how as we get older we don't lose weight as quickly, blah, blah, blah....this may be true, but when you take someone who has a lot of weight to lose they actually lose weight faster for a while. Of course everyone has plateaus, etc. I just think those sorts of comments are completely unnecessary. I don't have unrealistic goals. 1-2lbs/week is considered a nice healthy pace at which to lose weight. Grrrrr....ah well...I'm letting it go. I had lost a couple pounds earlier this year and she made another comment like that and I totally stopped counting calories because I felt so discourage. So the lesson is don't listen to her and don't engage in conversations with her about it!
I keep thinking I will do work the Beck Diet Solution, but I also keep putting it off. I feel like it will make more since when I eat food. But I also know that it focuses a lot on behaviors. Maybe I should look at what the days entail and see what seems like a good time to start in relation to when I will be transitioning to real food.
Not much else is happening. I had a little setback on my run/walk. I didn't drink enough water and had headaches for a couple days at the end of last week. Then on Saturday I pulled something in my back. So I got back on it on Tuesday and have only done 1 day this week, but it's Thursday so I can do tomorrow and then a day on the weekend. I have done my stretch video twice which is pretty good. Oh, I got into grad school...Can't remember if I posted that. Yeah!!
I suppose that's all for now! I think it might be a good idea to blog more frequently...I always think journaling is cathartic.
PS for the time being I'm considering my week to be Thurs-Wed. That may or may not change once my 30 weeks is up!

My Personal Start of Week 6 Official Weigh In...
Yesterday (Thursday) morning I had my own official first thing in the morning naked weigh in. I've mentioned before it is the only one I count.
And I'm down another 3lbs for a grand total of 16.4lbs after 4 full weeks of Optifast 800 shakes, bars and soups. Reminder, Kaiser Northern California is 6 products/day. I don't know why or different centers decide how many products they start people on, but alas, that is what it is here. :-) I think it is just right. Most likely my goal will be to eat 4-5 times/day so I like that the shakes are spread out in approximately those intervals. I consider my morning shake just my coffee for the morning and then think of the other 5 items as snacks and meals.
I decided to stay home from work today. I haven't talked about it much here, but I am a pediatric nurse working in an ambulatory care clinic and lately I have been working hard on some projects. I have also been feeling like our group doesn't really appreciate the role nurses can have in ambulatory care-we are a super Nurse Practitioner heavy clinic. In my old like I would have loved that because the NPs I worked with had been nurses and we really had a very collaborative approach. I think that maybe that relationship is going downhill a bit because of the advent of MEPN programs. For those who are curious, this is an accelerated program for individuals with a bachelors degree in something other than nurses who want to become nurse practitioners. The problem with these programs is that its very short and people with sometimes absolutely NO healthcare experience come out feeling like they can take care of patients they really don't have the clinical experience to care for (or just health care experience in general). Anyway, I've recently heard some of them say things like "don't they see the initials behind my name?" or "I'm not just a nurse." This has me really thinking about whether I am truly a valued member of the team and whether or not it is time for me to move on. So-mental health day!!!
So anyway, rant over...
Maybe because of the work situation (PS I adore my coworkers as people) I was having a poor me, I will never lose 70-80lbs moment. And a why did I let myself go this far moment...you know sabotaging thoughts, etc. So rather than cheat or sneak some food I did a couple of things. The first was take the pups to the park. While there I turned those thoughts into, of course you will become healthy and it is going to take some time, but you have spent 6-7years getting to this point and you will recover faster. The 3rd thing I did was look for inspirational charts, etc that would help me look at each milestone or victory.
I created 2 things today. The first is a chart where I can cross of the pounds and it has a list of my rewards (things to help me eat healthy later). Someone on a site I posted it felt the need to correct my spelling, but rather than feel bad or defensive I laughed at myself and replied that of course I wrote bowel instead of bowl-I'm a GI nurse! :-) And I also made a mental note to myself not to correct someone's obviously mistaken typo. The other thing I created was an excel spreadsheet that I can look at every week and watch my percentage of weight loss go up every week as the pounds go down. I'll attempt to post them here, but as I'm new to this blog thing I can't make any promises. :-)

Optifast concoctions...
I hesitate to call them recipes and I'm not exactly gourmet, but I always wondered what people added and if it was ok per the plan so here are some of my favorites. Note that my plan is full fast so I can't add veggies, etc like some. Kaiser also limits our caffeine intake to 2 8oz glasses/day. I didn't realize that orange soda and creme soda have caffeine so I slipped on that one a few time! Now I have a coffee in the am and if I have another coffee later I won't have the orange or creme soda. I also am NOT a fan of fake sugars, but I haven't had any side effects so for the program I'm allowing them just to add variety and prevent flavor fatigue.
Hot Drinks*
Vanilla with pumpkin pie spice (or SF Pumpkin Pie Torani syrup)
Vanilla with SF Belgian Cookie Torani
Vanilla with Cinnamon
Chocolate with any SF Torani Syrup-so far I have tried: Almond Rocha, Salted Caramel, Belgian Cookie, Peanut Butter, S'Mores
Chocolate with peppermint extract
Coffee with either chocolate or vanilla Optifast
I cold brew coffee and have the concentrate for a few days. I've been doing 1/3c grounds with 3 cups water, stir and let sit out over night then pour through a filter the next day. Once I'm out of my already ground beans I plan to buy good whole beans and use my french press so it will be a little simpler. :-)
After adding the shakes I put it all in the micro for about 45sec-1min depending on how how you like things. Note I have tried to mix the shakes with hot water but it just doesn't mix as well.
Coffee + Choc + any of the above SF Torani syrups
Coffee + Vanilla + SF Belgian Cookie
Coffee + Vanilla + Almond Rocha
Coffee + Vanilla + Cinnamon
Soups**
Chicken + Fiesta Lime No Salt added Mrs. Dash
Chicken + Garlic Pepper No Salt added Mrs. Dash
Chicken + Lemon Pepper Lowry's
Chicken + Sriracha
Tomato + Cayenne
Tomato + Garlic and Pepper No Salt added Mrs. Dash
Tomato + Chipotle Southwest No Salt added Mrs. Dash
Tomato + Sriracha
Cold Drinks***
Vanilla + Diet Root Beer + ice
Vanilla + Diet Creme Soda (note buy caffeine free or count in your daily caffeine intake!) + ice
Vanilla + Diet Orange Soda (note buy caffeine free or count in your daily caffeine intake!) + Ice
Vanilla + Pumpkin Pie Spice + ice
Chocolate + SF Peanut Butter Torani syrup + ice
Chocolate + Peppemint extract
Strawberry + Diet Orange Soda (note buy caffeine free or count in your daily caffeine intake!)
Strawberry + Diet Creme Soda (note buy caffeine free or count in your daily caffeine intake!)
Strawberry + Almond extract
My next plan is to add basil to the strawberry
*I always mix the shakes with cold water and then warm it all in the micro or use ready made and warm it all in the micro
**Again I mix in the blender bottle or Ninja with cold water otherwise I have gotten sprayed or it clumps
***I'm not sure why I *** this. hahahah
I like all the bars. The peppermint, cinnamon and peanut are quite good if you warm them 15-20sec in the microwave. You could even eat the peppermint with a fork if you warm it-actually you have to because it is too gooey! The berry is my least favorite, but I keep it for variety.
The only shake I really don't like is the READY MADE strawberry. And to drink alone I prefer the powders to the ready made. The ready made is not milk based so I think that has something to do with it. I believe it is soy. It works well in my coffee, but otherwise I stick to powders-bonus they are cheaper!
My program recommends daily fiber so I drink 1 8oz glass of SF orange Metamucil daily. I realized not long after I bought it that I should have just bought Benefiber and added it to one of my shakes. Whoops! Ah well it gets me another 8oz of water and I just chug it. It's 112 servings, so it will last most of the active weight loss phase. :-) As a GI nurse this is obviously important to me. Our program does not allow for any other options (you don't have to buy the brands-you could just buy psyllium) and since it is medically monitored and they have proven success I am sticking to plan 100%.
