I just want to start off by saying this forum is wonderful. I have probably read every post to date. I actually went through withdrawals while the board was down yesterday. I am officially on day 18 of doing Medifast. Not sure how much I have lost but I am definitely feeling better. I tried Medifast last year and had good results; not sure why I strayed. Other than I love food, cooking it and eating it. So this time around I decided I would come out of the woodwork and introduce myself. I am 34 years old (soon to be 35) and have been overweight to some degree since my teens. The weight is an emotional and physical burden that I am ready to be rid of. Everything else in my life has fallen into place. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter. I get to work remote and I last June I fullfilled my dream of moving onto a sailboat. This fall we plan on heading out to do a circumnavigation of the Caribbean. I don't want to be hidden behind baggy tops and long shorts. I want to feel good about the way I look and not have my husband worry about me because I'm not nimble enough to be effective on the boat. I am going to do it this time and not fall back on old habits. So thank you all again for the inspiration that you have provided.
