Congratulations, your success has inspired us all! I have been on the Medifast program since February 2004 and have lost over 160 pounds. To say Medifast has changed my life is one of the greatest understatements ever. When I decided to go on the Medifast program, it was literally the final step before I resorted to a surgical alternative. It was my last hope. I’ve always struggled with my weight, but once I graduated college and ventured into the business world, the pounds piled on. Before I knew it, I had gained 130 pounds. As anyone who has ever dieted knows, one slip defines the whole day; it is a vicious circle. Tomorrow is always another day. Well my tomorrow came on Monday, February 16, 2004. I had already purchased my Medifast products and was prepared to start that Tuesday. I decided there was no better day than the present and that I would just try to get through Monday and then see what Tuesday would bring. Monday was successful, as was Tuesday and every day after that. I lost 19.5 pounds in the first two weeks! People have asked me if the first couple of weeks were difficult. They weren’t; as a matter of fact, this is the easiest program I have ever encountered. I know exactly what I will be eating every day. I choose to have one shake a day at breakfast and have four soups over the rest of the day.
For many years, I hid from my friends and family because I was so disgusted and embarrassed with the way I looked. I would find excuses not to attend events, but missed out on so much; and they missed out on seeing me. My health also had deteriorated. I had been on blood pressure medicine for eight years. Within a couple of months on the program, my blood pressure normalized and I was able to discontinue my blood pressure medicine altogether. With every pound lost, I was literally that much lighter on my feet. I used to spend a lot of time trying to find the closest parking spot, but since I have lost the weight, I am able to walk everywhere with no discomfort. Medifast has, without a doubt, changed my life. I’ve always been outgoing, and now my self-confidence has returned and I find myself enjoying life and participating in activities I wouldn’t have been comfortable doing when I was heavy. For instance, I got up at my company’s holiday party and sang Karaoke the other evening! I would have never done that in the past because I would have been concerned that people would have been judging me by my weight. Now, all they had to do was judge me on my singing performance!! Not only have I achieved personal success, I have also achieved professional success. I never felt as though I was discriminated against in the workplace because of my weight; however, I have certainly become more visible since I have lost the weight and was recently promoted. Kind of ironic that I am more visible now that there is less of me! I am certain this is only the beginning of good things to come! Finally, Medifast has helped me to control my eating. Food no longer controls me; I control it. I now eat when I am hungry; period. Medifast puts my focus on listening to my internal body cues and has given me the time to determine how I will eat once I am off of the program. I will make healthier choices of what I put into my body. I would recommend this program to anyone ready to take that first step in the journey to becoming healthy and taking control of the weight once and for all. It will change your life. It has definitely changed mine. Thanks Medifast!! |

Anybody can do this
program. Now, I can hear the excuses….”I can’t do this; I travel and have
to entertain clients”. Guess what, so do I. It’s amazing how well this fits into
a busy work schedule. When I have business dinners or even social engagements, I simply
bring my soups along with me. When I’m asked what I would like for dinner, I request
hot water in a soup bowl and spoon. There has never been a time that my request has gone
unfilled. As a matter of fact, I went to Germany for eleven days during my program and was
able to get a bowl of hot water everywhere I went. People are curious and will sometimes
ask what I’m doing with the water, but no one is ever rude or discourteous. If
anything, they are amazed at what I am doing and are very complimentary. When I am in the
office, I simply put water in a hot pot and wait for it to boil; and then I have my soup.
