After gaining and gaining some more, I realized WW wasn't working for me. I did some research and found an Optifast clinic in my area. I met with SW and MD and decided to give it a try. I decided I wanted to be a size 6/8 and would start working towards 140 lbs until I got to that size and, more importantly, feel healthy, confident, and happy with my appearance.

I started at 119 lbs, morbidly obese and disgusted. In my SW visit it was noted that I'm a huge emotional eater. This is something I need to work on. Eating food for every emotion.

I decided to go with full fast, 5-6 shakes a day, no food, no chewing. My first week was easy! 2nd was a struggle. 3rd and 4th was easy, too! I'm heading into my 5th week (Wed) and am down 16.2 lbs so far. I'm down 2 pant sizes and can see the difference.

Are you doing a medically supervised Optifast diet? How far are you? What are your goals?

    Really well! I started modified, so I now eat 1 meal ( 6oz. Protein and 3 servings of veggies) 1 snack (1 serving fruit) and 3 shakes. I have to add salt on everything because I became hyponatremic. Down 24! And weigh in tomorrow! Thank you for asking!!! Are you doing a medically supervised program?
