I am going to a Medifast Weight Loss Clinic, and when I signed up I basically filled out the paper work which said they will guarantee my weight loss.... they even have the date I should have lost the 30 pounds by. Of course, if they go back to my food journal, I'm sure they could say I cheated on certain days which effected my progress. But I was a little shocked to hear the woman tell me that I would average 3 pounds a week, but it would be more like 5 some weeks.... I didn't think my body could lose 5 pounds a week (unless it was the first week of water weight). I'm not a fool - but hearing that also made me want to do it more - to actually take control of my own weight loss. You know last night I even put down a cookie I was about to have a bite of and traded it for a few soy chips!
I'm not that hung up on the date myself, but I would like to lose it
by the middle of November for my 44th birthday! (and the holidays coming up you know!!). I haven't told anyone in my family (parents, sister, brother, etc) that I am on this plan, so when they see me at Christmas (I just booked our flights to WI for the holidays), they will be surprised. I'm also trying to give my dad some motivation - If I can do it, the working mother of three young kids, he should be able to find the effort to as well.
