Hello all! I ordered my first shipment yesterday, and am eagerly awaiting its arrival so I can get this show on the road!
Interestingly enough, I really didn't know much about Medifast at all until New Years Day when I was sitting with my laptop in front of the television and decided it was time to make a change. I stumbled upon the Medifast website and was instantly intrigued. After reading the message boards on the Medifast site and reading several different success stories, I slept on it for a few days and decided to give it a shot....the only thing really holding me back was the price. While I know you cannot put a price on good health and feeling great, I am a fifth year college student with at least another 3 years to go. In other words....I am poor poor poor.
So my first supply was charged to the trusty credit card, and I am going to try and pick up a few more hours at work this semester to try and help pay for future supplies, but I don't know how long I will be able to afford it. I am hoping for a good jump start to my weight loss and go from there. My mentality is that if it is working and I am feeling great, hopefully I can find a way to keep going. Any thoughts on how to afford it would be a great help!
Additionally, the Medifast website says you shouldn't exercise much. I actually love to go to the gym (usually 45 minutes of intense cardio and 30 minutes of light weight training 4 days a week), and would hate to not be able to do so. Any thoughts?
Anyway, I am proud for myself that I have taken this first step. I have a long way to go...100+ pounds. I have opted not to set a final weight goal just yet, and instead have decided to focus on dropping 40lbs over the next 5 months when I will graduate [finally] with my bachelor's degree. I want to look and feel great when it comes time to walk across that stage!
