WELCOME ANGIE!!
God does things for reasons and your unsuccessful plan of surgery happened for a reason too!
Now you are part of this wonderful family of losers
Congrats on the loss this week and may you be a loser each and every week
My Mom was obese and I inherited the dreaded "fat gene". My brother and sister don't have a weight problem, they are the type that can eat anything and everything and NOT gain weight. I have also been overweight since I was a teenager; I tend to carry mine from the waist down but in the last 10 years, it has been inching up on me ...literally! I use to say that if I stand behind a bush, no one would know I was heavy (but now they could tell - even if all they saw were my eyeballs!).
I was 224lbs when I started MF on March 26th. My goal weight is 144 ... Before I found MF, I was thinking how much easier it would be for me to GAIN 20lbs and then go for gastric bypass than to try YET ANOTHER DIET. I thought there was no hope for me .... then, I found Medi-fast and Viola! here I am - after 15 days ~ 13lbs lighter and feeling WONDERFUL!
We will do this and we will have a WONDERFUL summer this year
this is the BEST support system on the internet, Angie. I have gotten more love, advice, encouragement and kudos here in the 2 weeks I've been posting than I ever did in all the years I went to "the other diet support groups" (dont want to name names here! ...WW, Jenny, LA ).
Keep posting, shaking and LOSING!!
