Hello everyone!!

Well...for those of you who dont know me...I was a medifaster long ago..I lost about 50 pounds...then decided I was "cured" and went on my merry way to enjoy the summer....along the way, I discovered my addiction to food again...and gained most of my weight back. I tried to come back to medifast a few times, but with only a week or so under my belt of true medifasting..untill I would slide again. I am absolutley miserable with myself....Ive suffered a terrible break up with a man who loved me so much..and because of my struggle with my weight...didnt do all I could to show him how much I cared for him as well..because I dont love myself!!

I NEED HELP YOU GUYS. Today...I have medifast products left over...and IM going to start the full fast...unless I have a dinner date or something..where I will eat a lean green meal every so often!! Its OCTOBER 1st..and Im weighing in at 175 pounds. My goal weight is 140...again!!! So unca....can you change my stats unfortunatley....back to 175....I HAVE TO DO THIS...and this time...NEVER forget the food demons that will unforunatley always be with me. Had I stayed on my Normal eating/maitenence plan and didnt go back to sugar and white flour stuff..I would have maintained my weight...so those of you on medifast....know..it DOES WORK...even after you loose the weight...as long as you dont go back to OVEREATING as I have!!

that was hard for me to confess...but I need help. Today is Day one for me..and I know what IM in for the next week or so....withdrawals...but I also know how great Im going to feel in a few weeks...so heres to shaking....

Hi Tami!

You have ALL my support. My insecurity with my weight was one of the reasons I lost the person I loved. The depressing break up only made my eating habits worse, so now I'm doing Medifast.

Today, October 1st, is my FIRST DAY TOO!!!

I wish you all the best. I'm doing the 5&1 program. I'll probably alternate between that and the full fast.

Thanks MissyK!!

Heres to Day 1 for us!! Im sorry to hear about your break up as well..they are so hard, but I truly belelive that if someone loves you and you are meant to be together, that it will happen!! Im 34 years old...divorced..and never thought I wouldnt have 2 kids and a white picket fence house by now....but things dont always work out!! I think the most imporant thing is that WE LEARN TO LOVE OURSELVES first..then the rest will all fall into place. Dont get me wrong..I know I am a great person on the inside...I have a heart of gold and others see that...I am blessed with wonderful friends and family in my life...but my weight issues get in the way of so much in my life....its like I dont/cant let someone see me..the REAL ME on the inside...cuz im too busy covering up the outside....for those of us who have struggled with thier weight all thier lives such as I have....you know what I mean!!

I just had my 2nd shake of the day...and let me tell ya...I love this stuff...its magic...and I KNOW that 12 weeks from now...on Christmas eve...Im going to feel SOOOO much better about myself due to medifast...so heres to getting thru the first 3 days!!

well do it!!
thanks for your support!!

Hi Tami,
I was so glad to see your post. Thank you for sharing. I let summer, travel, hurricanes, and all sorts of excuses get the best of me lately. I have not gained my weight back but I am definitely not 100% on the program either.
I am finally home and settled from all the distractions of the last 3 months so tomorrow (today, Sunday) is my 1st new day. I'm right there beside you!!! We know this works so let's get busy! Let's reach the Christmas Eve goal together - what a great present!

Soccer mom and Missy - Welcome!!! You are in the right place and have the best plan, ever!

Martha - thanks for being such a super cheerleader!

Hunny! Welcome back! We always have room for you here on the MakeMeThinner Forum. This has been a interesting summer for many Forum Folks - aren't you glad that Medifast is available?

We all have moments in life that we would rather not do-over but a do-over with our great Take Shape for Life Program is one we don't mind because we know it works and it gets the job done rapidly and safely.

I am sorry that your heart of hearts was hurt - we'll encourage you and help you along your path to improved health and hopefully your heart will mend, too.

Yes, we can 'get the lard out' by shaking it up but the important part will be to do the transition phase exactly right and then on to maintenance. It is vital to make permanent changes if we are to keep our weight off permanently. I really must limit sugar and processed foods to manage my weight efficiently.

Thanks Sherri and Nancy!!

its good to be back...and yes...Christmas is only 12 weeks away..and I want to FEEL ALIVE again!! so Sherri...lets do a 12 week countdown...I want to be 20 pounds lighter in 12 weeks..if its more than great!! if not...my goal is to be at 155 by christmas time!! and working out again faithfully!!

Nancy..so good to hear from you! I LOVED The pictures of you with your magic Bullet!! I LOVE THAT LITTLE BLENDER!! its great!! you look absolutley wonderful..and I can see that this is possible to keep the weight off....I just need a bit more help this time around..I should have never left the forum...I lost all my weight..and left..thinking I could do it all on my own...and now I know I cannot..I need support and help from those who understand me and have been there and done that!!

IM BACK.....DETOURING MY OFF TRACK TRAIN TO THINVILLE once again!!
