Greetings, fellow MediFaster's! There are so many new people here I feel like everyone I once knew has moved on! Hello to all of you, your success is inspiring and your struggles help keep me real and did so even while I was on sabbatical.

I first started medifast almost two years ago, as you can see by my join date. Well, here I am, this much later, still needing and wanting to lose a substantial amount of weight. After taking pretty much a year off for a variety of no-good reasons, here I am. I am currently on day four and determined to make this the last time I start medifast.

Luckily, I have breezed through the first few days with no ill effects and I am once again starting to feel really great. Having done a lot of contemplating and introspection I can see clearly why I failed this program previously and will do what is required to keep it from happening again.

First of all and most importantly, I will not become a slave to the scale and let myself become disheartened. Actually, I no longer even have a scale in my home as when I got a new puppy (an adorable JRT) and was training him, he peed on it. I take that as a sign. Instead, this time, I have set out different goals for myself. Instead of concentrating on pounds lost I am making my first goal time related. I commit to staying on medifast for an initial period of ninety days. After that, I will go to my Dr. and have my weight taken there.

I have listed my starting size and my desired size below, I think that is a good place to start.

Also, after I am finished this post, I am going to send Unca a picture to put up in the studio. This is something I have never even considered doing before and I believe it will help me make myself accountable. Surprisingly, there is actually one of me to post, something that doesnt happen often!

At any rate, here I am back on the medifast wagon and looking forward to the journey. I look forward to getting to know the new people here and reacquainting myself with the people I knew previously.

Welcome back M!! It is always so heartening to see people return as this shows us newbies to quit looking and stick to program because apparently it works or you guys would not come back. I admire your restraint to "weight" 90 days to weigh I think I would go nuts but I have had to go to the Dr quite a bit lately and it is so nice to see that the scale keeps going downward!! I look forward to reading your posts and getting all the advice I can from you!!

Hi Marseilles,

So glad to meet you! It is great that you are coming back to something that you know works.

I am fairly new, just finishing my 4th week today with a 17 pound loss. So even though I am not there yet, I am reading and absorbing ways to maintain even before I reach goal, because I know I will get there in due time.

We all know this is a lifetime situation and there is no turning back to the old ways! Congratulations on coming back. I look forward to seeing you on the STUDIO. I am there, too, so let's get aquainted!
