Hello Everybody!

I am so excited today that I decided I had to come out of lurkdom to share my success! I've now lost 20.5 pounds using Medifast . There is so much inspiration, helpful tips and humor on this Forum -- I wanted to join in and to thank you all.

Let me introduce myself with a brief version of my diet-a-log: I've been up and down most of my adult life; but mostly up. 8 years ago I got down within 20 pounds of my goal, but that was as close as I got. For all kinds of reasons -- none of them good, of course -- I started putting weight back on and on..... Then, finally, in 2003, mostly using principles from South Beach Diet I lost 30 pounds. And then nothing. At the end of last year I let myself fall victum to a vacation, the holidays and bad habits: I gained back at least 10 pounds.

It was 7 weeks ago on March 20 that I took back control. Except for a couple of planned/controlled deviations, I have been doing MF 5+1. I feel great! What a wonderful tool this product is. I feel that for the first time I can really make it to goal and stay there. I can get fit, trim and healthly! I can get rid of this handicap: this excess fat.

People have started to notice and comment -- how fun is that! DH is very proud and excited -- when can I go to Victoria Secret? he asks! And I think seeing less of me on Mothers Day was my best present to my Mom.

Anyway, good luck to all of us and we travel this MF journey. I look forward to sharing more successes together!

Hi Walks262~~so glad you decided to come out of the shadows and into the light. This forum is definitely a shining light. It is the bright spot in my day.

You sound a lot like me. I got to within 10 pounds of my goal 10 years ago and since then I have just slowly gained 70# or so. But, I have to forget about the past and look to the future which appears to be lookin' pretty good for both of us.

Congratulations on your loss and your decision to get healthy. I look forward to chatting more.

Congrats!

Getting to that next pound club sure makes it fun! I remember when I joined my first club and then @ the 20 pound mark, and what a thrill that was. Keep up the good work. It definitely will pay off.

Take care and best wishes.
