This is completely me! I was in a 24/26 and wearing 3x shirts, now I am a medium and wear 8/10. My coworkers tell me how "small" I am and I just can't believe them. It is exciting, but very hard to believe. The worst is when I am not in clothing as I see what I have done to my body and how stretched out I am as I never…

Change in diet and lifestyle are the important factors as everyone will tell you! It is such a mental game. If you can find an activity you enjoy as much if not more than food that will help! I have found running and Zumba are my new addictions. I do weight training with my trainer and have like minded "gym friends" now.…

I would add that besides age (I turn 40 in two weeks) - how long you have been extremely overweight is even more of the issue. I have never been tiny and so I was significantly overweight for almost 20 years. Now that I have lost almost 120 pounds and am almost at goal my tummy is awful. My arms are flappy but not too bad.…

I am down 105 pounds :) Have a few more to go. Never posted pictures before so I hope this works:

A little over 6 months and I'm down 81 pounds. I do not do a full fast though.

I think it is funny how our tastes are so different. I do not like the berry bar. I prefer the chocolate peanut butter bar. I use the sugar free syrups in my shakes. I love adding blueberry and almond to the vanilla. To the chocolate I add raspberry or peppermint or coconut. I have lots of the flavors and I play with…

I am a teacher too and I actually like optifast for the convenience. I know that on days like today (snow day) I tend to clock watch more than when I'm busy teaching. At school I feel the hunger pains and know that it's time to eat again. I have done a modified program for 5 months. Some days were all product (5) others…

Christy- I read your blog. I have considered starting to write a blog so I'd have something to look back on. I know I love reading everyone else's as it gives inspiration. It is also nice to see others struggles.

Hey all! I'm on week 16 and have lost over 50 pounds. The holidays were iffy but I stuck through. I do incorporate a meal each day and my losses seem better. Just seeing if this group can get active!

I am on week 16 and have lost 53 pounds. I do mostly modified rather than a full fast as I wanted to incorporate solid foods and practice portion control and good choices. What the optifast has helped was training me to continuously fuel my body throughout the day to keep my metabolism up. I now eat breakfast and have…
