Well I guess this is where I should start. I have ordered my products and they should be arriving in the next few days. I am looking forward to starting- hoping that something will finally work for me. I have been looking through the message boards and feeling encouraged.
I am 26 years old, married with 2 small children. After both pregnancies, I am about 50 pounds overweight. In the last few years I have tried every diet pill and diet out there and have lost nothing. I'm aware that I have a painfully slow metabolism which discourages me. I feel like if I actually saw results, it would not be so hard to continue with the program.
I'm prepared for the first few days to be rough- so I'm ready to start. I'm just praying that this will be it for me- that I can actually lose the weight- I'm so sick of being fat and depressed.
Any support/ encouragement is greatly appreciated.

Hi Sarah..you have come to the right place!! I too...started at having to loose about 50 pounds. I have been on the full program (although sometimes I do have a lean/green Meal and do the modified if that makes my days easier depending on my plans!!)
Tommorrow will be one month for me...a full month of following this program to a "T"...except for ONE SLIP UP..when I Gorged myself on the Medifast Bars one night...but that was my only slip..and It was NOT WORTH IT!! its been great feeling my clothes looser and to have more energy ( which took a while to come to me...the first few weeks..I felt as if I could go to bed around 7pm every night!) I have lost about 18 pounds...and I am on my way to my goal...to wearing my old clothes that havent fit me in years...to breaking out of this cycle of depression and isolation that being 50 pounds overweight has caused me...

You have come to the right place....this forum is great..its a lifesaver!!

Just take it one day at a time Sarah...and we will be here to support you pound by pound!! :-P
hope your stuff arrives soon!! find creative ways to make your shakes..it makes all the difference!! and drink all your water....water is the key here...it will help keep you feeling full..and clean you right out!!

Welcome Sarah--- :D

You've come to the right place. Not only is MF an amazing program but this forum is priceless.

I'm not gonna say it's easy at first --- but it works....wait until you see those numbers drop on the scale - It is so worth it!!

I certainly have been where you are - disgusted, in pain, depressed and miserable --- I've made a decision to embrace life and end my weight insanity once and for all. I truly believe MF and this forum will allow me to make it and end this battle.

Read the posts - when I get stressed or need answers this is where I come - it really helps!!!!

Hang in there - keep shakin' and slurpin' and POSTIN' - so far a winning combination for me!!!

WE WILL do this together!!! :stroll:

Hey, there Sarah ~

You are headed for a great and healthy adventure! We are glad that you here to join us on the journey! :stroll:

Spring is on its way and you are beginning your spring house cleaning at just the right time. You will feel so much better about yourself and you'll soon be able to toss out some of those baggy and over-sized clothes. Your children will have to run to keep up with you this summer! :boing:
