Hi, I'm Linda

Postby Linda » March 16th, 2006, 3:57 pm

Hello everyone!

My name is Linda and I just registered for this site today, March16th. I started Medifast on Nov. 6, 2005 at 231.5 pounds. Today I am at 187 and so happy.

Previously, I had been on Weight Watchers several times, but after the first month would sometimes slow down to only a 1/2 pound loss per MONTH! This is very discouraging when you always have tremendous cravings and many pounds to go. Medifast is SO different in every way.

After lurking all these months, I finally called and have a health advisor...thank you Becky! I'm afraid I'm not the kind to easily respond on forums, but I'll try to check in and do my share of support.

Thanks
LINDA

Wow!! Congrats Linda! So glad to hear how much weight you've lost so far, and yes, forums are great for that extra push or reinforcement so you don't lose sight of the goal. I'm new but I can see this from reading so many posts on different websites supporting weight loss. :)

Hope to hear from you more often. :thumbup:

Hi, Lnda ~

Warm wishes for your continued success. Becky knows all about the program and believe me, she has an iron will - her husband is a :chef: chef! He prepares the best Lean and Greens for her and often has some not-so-leans simmering on the smoker or on the stovetop.

Part of weight management success includes having an individual plan and a support system - we all need to have someone by our side to pick us up, dust us off and keep us headed in the right direction.

Happy :cheers: shakin' to you, Linda!
