The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

[MariLu]

Hi! My name is Marilu. My sweet sister-in-law, Lizabette, has lost 65 lbs with Medifast and is looking wonderful.
I had been puttiing off doing what I knew would help me start to feel better and definitely look better...get rid of this weight!

Then I had quite a scare the other day. I thought I was having a stroke. Much to my happiness, I discovered it was an inner ear virus causing my dizziness. Just the same, I decided right then that these extra pounds had to come off! I have at least 30 pounds to lose from my 5'1" frame.

My shipment should get here any day now, and I can't wait to get started on my weight loss journey.
I am looking forward to the support and help I feel here on this forum. I'll be sending a 'before' picture to STUDIO soon.

Good for you Marilu! I know how you feel. A wake up call of my own led me to call Nancy. Good luck as you start. And Lizabette is wonderful and supportive. She makes a super role model.

MARILU,

I wanted to be the first one to welcome you, but NAT jumped in there ahead of me.
(BTW NAT...I've been trying to find a place to tell you I love your avatar! It's gorgeous!)

Anyway, welcome MARILU, my dear sister-in-law. I will be with you all the way to your goal...you can count on it!
Just glad your 'health scare' wasn't as serious as we first thought...but you're here and that's what matters!
I won't be by myself, because this forum rocks with supporters and helpers. You'll find out how great everyone is!

We'll look forward to your 'before' pictures soon. See ya!

Lizabette

Very happy to hear that it was not a stroke. I thought I would take a moment to discuss some of the signs of a stroke since it is the 3rd leading cause of death, so that everyone is better prepared.

-Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arms, or legs, especially on one side of the body.
-sudden confusion (disoriented to person, place, or time), difficultly speaking, or comprehension problems
-sudden vision problems in one or both eyes
-sudden dizziness, difficultly walking, or loss of balance and coordination
