Hi...
Just wanted to reintroduce myself. As you can see from my screen name my name is Lisa and I from New York. I had originally tried Medifast a few months ago...lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks...fell off program and gained 20 lbs back. I have no explanation of how or why I didn't stay on program, but I am going to give it my best effort this time. I really want to be healthy and feel good about myself. I have cardiomyopathy (congestive heart failure) that was caused by my one and only pregnancy 3 years ago when I was 36 years old. I have recovered significantly over the past 2 years, but I'm not completely out of the woods yet, and I really want to see my son grow up. I am also in the process of trying to adopt another child now, and I feel that I don't deserve to adopt a child because I am not taking good care of myself by being overweight. It would be really selfish to make 2 children motherless, so I am really determined to get back on track. I have been lurking on the site for about a week no and it has really helped me get back on program. I have about lose about 30 lbs now. I have already lost 45 lbs since being pregnant. I know I will be able to get through this with the help of everyone on this site. Thank you all...I look forward to sharing with you and being of help whenever I can.

Hi Lisa and welcome back!!! You have some pretty good reasons to stay on the program and lose that weight. You can do it!!!! Keep coming her for encouragement and any questions and you will be able to lose that weight that you want. Congrats on losing what you already have - that is a great accomplishment.

I am an adoptive mother of 2 beautiful girls from China so I know how stressful that can be (the process I mean). I have many reasons to lose weight but being around to see my daughters grow up was one of the major reasons.

You can do this and we are all here to help you.

Welcome back Lisa,
Whenever you're tempted to eat "a little something" just remember why you want to part with those extra pesky pounds. It will help tremendously. Keep posting and let us all know how you're doing. We would much rather let ourselves down than others so ... this is a great form of accountability.
I know you can do it.
