The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

I just want to say hi and how happy I am to have found this site. Support is so important for long term success at this program. My initial loss on Medifast was 140 pounds in 6 months. After mainting that weight over several years, back surgery (x2) and depression took it's toll and I gained back about half that weight. I'm now back on track and ready to go.
I have to say if I had had the contuing support available on this site I don't think I would have slipped so far.

Thanks all. Looking foreward to getting to know the regulars here.

John

John - We're glad you found your way here. After your past success on the program, I'm sure there is a lot we can learn from you. I totally agree about having support, I know I wouldn't even be at the point I am now without this forum. Welcome!

I also used medifast years ago, lost lots of weight and after a few years started to gain it back. I was thrilled to find it was available without a doctors prescription and this site is wonderful. I am a newbie, but sure the support of others here will be really helpful. Good luck!

Welcome aboard John!!!

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with all the changes medifast has made since "the old days" lol I was on it as a teen when it was just shakes.
You can do it!!
Hugs,

A big welcome to you!!! It is nice to have another man on board with us. ALthough at times it is a little hard to not get a wee bit jealous of you men and how quickly you guys lose. I look forward to reading your posts it is always interesting to see this program from a man's point of view.

Welcome A-BOARD! I must say I too am jealous at how fast guys lose their weight!! I tend to be a slow loser - I have about 60 something to go to get to 125, but man would I love to lose it fast!!

But patience is key - and you are so right about this board!! Glad you are here!

Cheers!
