The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

[guest]

Hi everyone-
I have been reading the boards for a couple months now, and I am finally ready to post....
I purchased my MF products in late February and put off starting until 3 days ago, (went on Vacation to Vegas...
I am starting day 4 today.......It has been hard and I know from what I read it will get better. I am 34 (will be 35 April 15th) have two beautiful Girls ages 16 & 18, Married 19 wonderful years... to my High School Sweetheart.
I wish to loose 100 pounds! Boy that is a Big number! I hope I can do it! Over the past 6 years I have put myself last and put everything and everyone else first and the weight started packing on..... Then It hit me one day when I saw the comercial for MF. My father and Brother both live with diab. and that scares me. I have been tested and as of right now I don't have it. I then looked at my Girls and My DH and thought I need to get this weight off and get healthy again. I want to get ME back! My DH is so wonderful......he knows how I get stressed out with all our office work and such (self employed) that he told me to bring someone in and train them to do the office work so I won't have that stress on me as much so I can have ME time to do what I want to do........so I pulled my Mom in and have been training her this week. I am so excited to have someone help out in the office now, It won't be long and I will be able to cut myself away from the office and maybe only do stuff once a week. This will help me so much becuase when I am in the office I don't eat right and I spend HOURS doing paperwork, phone calls and paying bills, so I never have time to do anything let alone eat right. Ans sitting at a desk for hours on end don't help either. I know I have gained more weight since we started our business. My DH thought it would help me if I didn't have the added stress. Becuase for me added stress means BAD FOOD CHOICES! MORE EXTRA POUNDS! I just HOPE I can stick to this and learn to LET GO when it comes to the office work. I have a LONG road ahead of me!!! But so Happy to have found this support group!!!

Thanks for reading my post!

Congrats to all who have lost!!!

Hey there Guest.......Welcome!

You have made the right choice! Medifast WORKS! Just read all the success stories in this forum and you will see it's true. Look at Nancy's before and after pics..........she lost more than the 100 pounds that you want to lose...........and quickly too! Think back to the time BEFORE you added the 100 pounds. I'll bet if you had said, " I think I will GAIN 100 pounds", you would have said........"There is NO WAY I can gain 100 pounds!". Well..........there was a way, wasn't there? .....and just as there was a way to GAIN 100 pounds.........there is a way to LOSE 100 pounds! It just takes two things:

1. You have to be COMMITTED to losing the weight.....this means no cheating, no nibbling, no making up excuses why you just HAD to eat something off plan........no, procrastinating (oh, just one bite won't hurt)

2. Medifast!!

The first few days are the hardest, once you get through those days, you will find the ride much smoother for the rest of the journey. If you stick to the plan, you will only have to go through those first few days ONCE.

You can DO IT..........it is entirely up to you. You'll be glad you did!

Hi there! I also need to lose 100 pounds it was more than that but I have already lost quite a bit, medifast does work and if you do it exactly the way they say it will work fast, you will feel great and the most exciting part is waking up every morning and feeling lighter, and trying on clothes that wouldnt go over your hips not too long ago will fit comfortably, its such a great feeling, and every day as you shrink you will be even more empowered to see your entire 100 pound loss thru to the end because it feels so good along the way. Best of luck to you, you can do this!!!!

Welcome! Congratulations on getting started!

I'm glad you found us. This board has been a great place for me to visit daily. It helps keep me focused on what I am doing, and motivates me to keep doing it. 100 pounds may seem like a lot, but some of us here have more than that to lose. We all just have to keep going, and keep shakin'!!



You can do it!!

Hi,
I know you are going to succeed! Health is so important. You are so lucky that you are losing the weight before getting diabetes, instead of trying to lose it with diabetes.
