New here, saying hi all!

I can't believe I didn't find this board until yesterday! I've been doing the Medifast program since 1/03/06 and so far I've lost 70lbs! I've got a way to go, but I know my goal is achievable.

Hi There Grey Horse,
You are doing great!!!! 70 pesky pounds gone for good!!!! Whoooo Hooo
And I agree with you -- your goal is absolutely doable -- you're going to make it!!! Get ready to get the old closet all cleaned out and go shopping for some skinny clothes!!! I know with a 70 pound loss you've already parted with some --- more are going

Thanks, everyone, for your warm welcomes!
Here's a bit more to introduce myself:
I've been doing the 5 & 1 as to-the-letter as I can. Sugar free Jello is my (one a day) snack of choice. At the end of the first month, I joined Curves, and have been working out 3X a week since. Oh, and I drink lots of water.
I've been on a LOT of diets in my life since I was a kid. I can honestly say MF has been the easiest to stick to by far. For me, the regimentation takes the temptation away - I know what I'm going to eat and when, without the pesky grey areas of counting, and shopping, and cooking, and keeping track of everything to the nth degree.
And this time around, I was the heaviest I've EVER been in my entire life, and I was feeling pretty desperate. I'd been fat most all my life, but I got away with it because I managed to stay active in spite of the poundage. But, uh-uhhh, not any more! All the "yets" I'd barely outrun all the time had finally caught up to me, and beat the heck out of me! Everything hurt! Knees and back shot to h*ll! No energy. Out of breath all the time. Fearing stairs, both up and down. I was unable to do the things I wanted to do or needed to do, like my job! I knew I had to do something about it, but having to lose all those pounds seemed an insurmountable job - I even considered surgery, and wondered how in the world I could pay for it.
Thank God, a co-worker who had mysteriously lost close to 200 pounds told me she'd done it with Medifast! I saw with my own eyes what was possible.
So here I am! Glad to be here!
