The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Hello Fellow Medifasters,

My name is Lori. My husband Jerry and I have been peeking around this site for a month or so and started the Medifast program 2 weeks ago. I knew it worked as I'd done the program 16 years or so ago (when Oprah did) and lost over 70 lbs. in four months. Unfortunately, because I never did the maintenance program and had two more babies over the years I gained it all back plus alot more! We had both been doing Atkins for a couple of months but had stalled in our weight loss so decided to check out Medifast again.

Having a support site like this is a great addition to the program and we are both very excited about it!

I am 5'7" and began 2 weeks ago at 278.5 pounds (post Atkins where I had lost about 20 lbs.). The first week I lost 11 lbs. and weighed this morning and had lost another 10 lbs. for a total in 2 weeks of 21 pounds bringing my current weight to 257.5 pounds!!! I am soooo excited I can't stand it!

Jerry is 6'1" and started the program with me 2 weeks ago at a post Atkins weight of 351.5 pounds. (He'd lost around 50 lbs. already on Atkins but as I said, we had both stalled out.) The first week on Medifast he lost 20 pounds!!! Yes, you heard me right, 20 pounds in one week!!! This morning he weighed and had lost another 5 pounds bringing his 2 week total to 25 pounds in 2 weeks and a new weight of 326.5 pounds!

This 43 year old couple is honored to join this group of losers here and delighted to be on our way to being both thin and healthy!
