Ah... April is here….last month March came in like a lamb and out like a lion.
I think there is something wonky going on with our weather.
We cannot blame the gravitational pull to the refrigerator and the junk food cupboards on the full moon, however because we’ve had so much rain here in the northwest, the clouds have obscured the moon totally from our view!
The Midwest had hailstones the size of softballs over the weekend and some of us are wondering if we will ever get to wear spring clothes.
Some of you have been faithfully Medifasting since the first of the year and your friends and family members will be shocked when you begin to shed your winter clothing and reveal your thinner selves – Oh, my!
The jaws will drop and you will enjoy shocking the gawkers as you enter the room in your smaller-sized clothing.
I got a note from one of our thinnin’ friends who said her twenty-something son is in mourning...
“He’s having to say goodbye to his favorite pair of "knockin' around the house" shorts.
He just came in here and told me that he stood up and the shorts hit the floor.”
Don’t despair if you have been messing around with the program,
you can still join us in the fight against flab!
Put the past behind you, today is a new day.
If you begin ASAP, you can be down 30 pounds (or more!) by Memorial Day.

Attention Folks! I am editing this post on Monday, April 17th because over the weekend an astute Forum Friend - Falisamarie notified me that she could not locate the sale price for the CranMango Fruit Drink. I went online and I could not find it either.
This was a holiday weekend and TSFL was closed so I had to until I heard back from corporate about it this morning.
Evidently the sale price was rescinded due to supplies availability and I did not receive the update.
I am leaving the recipes in place for future use.
Cranberry Mango Fruit Drink – STILL available at its regular price for $13.95 per box of 7 packets.
