Welcome Michelle!

Trust me, it WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yes:

I have tried EVERYTHING except gastric bypass surgery (not a candidate because I have Crohn's disease). This is my 6th week and I have dropped 37 lbs!!!!!!! I have a long way to go, but I am absolutely geeked about the possibility of getting below 200 lbs for the first time in almost 18 years!!!!!! I can't wait to get to ONDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yay:

Hi

Michelle,
Please dare to hope . There are so many of us here who have been around the block and back with every diet imaginable. I don't think this is the first shot for any of us. MF works for me because it is so simple. Everything is laid out for you. Less places to get in trouble. The results on the scale are what keep you motivated. The forum here is a wonderful place to go for help and inspiration. Read some of the success stories and the struggles we all have gone through, it really helps to feel you aren't alone in this. Take the plunge, you won't regret it. :bighug:

Thankyou ladies for your encouraging words, I ordered the 980 program, it comes with cinnamon oatmeal and i'am concerned about eating it as cinnamon gives me heart burn, i asked if I could trade out but they were not able to do so.other than that i look forward to being here updating my progress. meeting new frineds online sharing common interst.

Michelle ~

Most people find that heartburn and gastric reflux disappears rapidly as soon as they have a few days of Medifast behind them. I love the oatmeal and just to let you know, most of us add more cinnamon to our Apple Cinnamon oatmeal so please know it doesn't have a lot of cinnie in it.

Hi Michelle,
Welcome HOme!!
I to have had many failed attempts...

but I decided that the reason nothing worked for me before was because I had too many choices. :shock:

I know that I need to "learn" how to eat... (wow that's an oximoron if ever I heard one... How did I get this fluffy without knowing how to eat????)...but I have to get the weight off first. YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT. There is a lady here on the board that bags up her food for the day. She knows that is it and that is all. There is so much variety in this program, and with the help of the stuff in the Lean Cuisine section of the board you can stay way legel.

Just make sure to get ALL your shakes in ...every 2 to 3 hours...even if you are NOT hungry..... and drink that good ol water~~! Come to the boards often...it really does help. Nancy, our health advisor, is a big skinny loser herself so she knows of which she speaks. the people on the board have had the same struggles.... we are all in this together!! :goteam:

Hi, Michelle,

I'm in the same boat as you. I feel like this is my last try at losing this weight. However, I've done a lot of research about medi-fast and I have faith that it'll work. Also, I really, really need a break from food for a while so I can work on other issues in my life so hopefully this will give me time to establish better habits and plan for maintenance. Anyway, good luck
