Hi Ladies! Thanks for sharing. I recently started Medifast on Jan1 of this year and it has been like a God-send for me. I was introduced to the program by a coworker who lost a substantial amount of weight over a year. I thank him everytime I see him because had it not been for him, I probably would not have ever tried this. Seeing was believing for me and after much contemplation about how out of control my eating/weight had been, I took the plunge and gave it a go. It is amazing how much life can change in just 3 months. I haven't felt this great in years and I owe it all to Medifast. MFP has also been a wonderful find for me. This site is so motivational. I am so moved when I read of the challenges so many on here have overcome. It is so inspirational to see the transformations that many of you have made.

My best friend had gastric bypass last summer and I was pretty sure that I wanted to do the same. Unfortunately, my she has had to deal with many serious complications, including additional surgeries. It was a nightmare for a while there. Thank God she is getting better now. Seeing everything she went through, I decided that I would do whatever it took to lose this weight without surgery.

I look forward to continuing my journey and experiencing more milestones along the way. I wish you all continued success! Medifast is truly a life-saver!!! I could use some Medifast buddies here on MFP, so please add me if you could use a battle buddy along the way too. Have a great weekend!

I came back on Jan 1.... lost a lot a few years ago & recently felt getting out of control so back to 5/1 plan...Medifast is the best!
