The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Hi everyone. I've been reading through posts here for about 5 days and can see that it's a great place to be!
I just got an email confirm that my MF products shipped today and should be here by Friday. I was hoping for Thursday so I could start on Friday, but will just have to deal with it.
I am 42 years old, 5'7", about 240 pounds (won't know for sure until I weigh at the doctor's office on Friday). I've tried several diets over the years, none have gone too well or lasted long enough to make a big difference.
I have only confided in my kids, and my boss that I am going to start MF. My boss is supportive, but thinks my attitude isn't right because I chose MF because I know that there's no way I can stick to a diet where I am having to measure and count calories or points all day. But I think I have made the best decision for me.
While I haven't been able to follow through with prior comittments to diets, one comittment that I have been relifious about is my decision to return to college and go full-time until I complete my bachelor's degree and teaching credential. I'm so glad that I did it, but that is indeed a big part of my problem. Between sitting on my duff at work all day (secretarial), sitting on my duff in class, and sitting on my duff studying whenever I'm not at work or in class, I've packed on at least 40 poinds in the last 3 years, in addition tp the extra weight I was already packing around.
Medifast just seems like the perfect solution for me. I don't have the time to shop for special foods, measure, count, etc., not to mention cooking. Nor do I have time to add hours and hours a week at the gym to my schedule.
I can't clear out my cupboards (kids have to eat), but luckily they are used to doing the majority of the gorcery shopping and cooking during school because I just don't have the time. So they are going to do 100% of the shopping and cooking, so all I have to worry about is me. And they promise to be kind and loving to me during the first few days, even if I do turn into a raving b**tch. They're so fabulous!
I look forward to getting to know you all.

I am only on my second day of Medifast, but have found this to be such a supportive place! I am so glad I found it and I'm sure you will be too.

I am a teacher and I also go to school at night, so I know how you feel! It is tough to get it all done and still take care of yourself.

It sounds like you are ready to go! Good luck!

I got on the scale this morning, I just couldn't help myself, and I lost 2 pounds! I know it is just water weight but I'm up for any victory I can get!!!

I took an Advil as someone suggested as soon as I got up, so I hope to ward off the headache today.

I think you'll like it. Let me know when you get started.
