The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

[shineface]

Hello to my new friends -- and am I glad you're here!!!!! I feel like I know you all through reading just about every post on this forum ---- and thank God I found this forum!!!!
I have spent my entire life dieting - no lie - I have probably lost my entire self at least three times and spent in excess of $100k on plans, props, books, tools and torture.
The last two years I have had to make some difficult life-altering changes in my life after my 58 year old husband dropped dead one nite from an unexpected heart attack - talk about life changing in 5 minutes. He was 12 years older than me but according to the doctors had no major health or heart problems. He was my best friend. I did what I was told and waited a year before making any major life decisions - then, I sold my house, moved to a new town and changed careers --- and I have survived, in spite of what I originally thought would happen. I miss him everyday - but I get up and put one foot in front of another and just do it.
Well, the time has come to do that with my weight. A week ago when I started Medifast I weighed 290, this morning 275.5 -Thank you God - with support and a place to go for support (like I did after my husband died) I will do this, I need to do this for me and the rest of my life. Thanks for being here and I'd love to get to know you all much better ---- I need you.

WELCOME PAM!!!

It is the strength and courage you have already shown that will make you successful with Medifast.

You will find all kinds of support here! There are several folks here that are in the same spot on the journey that you are...and a few of us a little farther along.

And for the record, we need YOU as much as you need US!

Welcome...hang around awhile!!

Hi Pam..........and welcome. I'm glad you decided to join our forum family. You had a great first week. And the amazing thing is that with Medifast the great weeks just keep coming. If you follow the plan, you will lose weight. It sounds like you have prepared yourself mentally to lose your weight, now all you have to do is take one day at a time. And we will be here for you if you need us. Be sure to post your first weeks weight loss on the Sunday morning Roll Call which I post every Sunday. No competition, just great motivation. Maggie
