YEAH! I have officially lost OVER 50 pounds! How cool is that? I am sooo excited and so thankful to Medifast and all of my friends that support me along my journey! I feel soooo good! I am able to go clothes shopping and actually find things that will fit! And it's only going to get better! I look at clothes that are in smaller sizes and KNOW that I will be buying them one of these days!! This morning I made a Medifast pancake out of a peach oatmeal...and it was soooo good! I LOVE MEDIFAST!!
December 9, 2009 ~ Unbelievable...
That is how I describe losing weight with Medifast. Simply unbelievable. I have spent a lot of time weighing over 300 pounds and to get up this morning and see 271.5 on the scales is fantastic! I am down 54.5 pounds in 21 weeks. I know there are a lot of people that are losing faster than I am ... but I am okay with the rate this weight is coming off. It is averaging about 2.5 pounds a week, and I'll take it! I am proud to say that I have stayed ON PROGRAM 100% since starting Medifast!! This is the first time that I have been able to stay on plan with any weight loss program! I know it is because I have gotten the sugar out of my system and don't have the cravings anymore! Christmas, my birthday (12-21) and the New Year are just around the corner and I am so excited to see what the new year will bring! My husband and I will be celebrating our 19th anniversary on 6-21....and I am so excited to think how wonderful I will look by June!! Thank you Medifast for allowing me to dream once again!!
December 16, 2009 ~ My fifty pound ring...
No, I really didn't get a ring that weighs 50 pounds! My husband surprised me with a beautiful ring to celebrate my losing 50 pounds! How sweet is that? It is a channel cut diamond band that is simply beautiful. Now that I have posted a picture of it here ... the picture is so large, that it actually looks like it weighs 50 pounds! But it is quite dainty and looks beautiful with my wedding set! There's actually a story behind this ring. Four years ago, my husband got me a similar band and told me that he wished he would have gotten two of them, so we could surround my wedding set with them! I told him to wait until I lost 50 pounds and he could buy me the second ring. FOUR YEARS LATER....I finally found Medifast this summer am down the 50 pounds we talked about! I had actually forgot all about him telling me that he was going to get me this ring...so it really surprised me when he walked in the door with it! I weighed this morning and am down another 2 pounds! YEAH! That makes my total lost 56.5 pounds!! WOW! I'm actually doing this! Thank you Medifast! It is so exciting losing this weight! Here's to another great week!
December 23, 2009 ~ Feeling good...
I have been on Medifast for 23 weeks now and have lost 58 pounds! How fun! At 52, I have spent my entire life on a diet and finally feel like I have found something that not only works, but is something that I can live with! I love Medifast and love the way I am feeling. Never before have I been able to stay on program during the holidays! What a blessing. The holidays are upon us, and armed with Medifast, I feel like I can get through Christmas without any problems! Here's to a great week!
December 30, 2009 ~ Winding down 2009...
Well here it is almost the end of another year! As I look back on all the changes I have gone through this past year, starting Medifast has certainly been the most important! I have weighed over 300 pounds for most of my 18 year marriage. It didn’t start out that way…when I got married I weighed 180 pounds and felt like a model!
Before getting married, I weighed around 225-240 pounds and had lost down to 170 with Weight Watchers. By the time I met my husband and we got married, (6 months later!) I had gained 10 pounds! From there, I started gaining weight, and found myself at 329 pounds! I would lose weight and then gain it back. I am only 5’3’’, so every pound showed! Bless his heart, my husband loved me no matter what size I was! I tried just about every diet out there…but just couldn’t keep my weight off! This past summer, both my massage therapist, and my hairdresser told me within a 2 week period that they were doing Medifast and having a lot of luck with it! I decided that this couldn’t just be a coincidence, and that I needed to jump on the bandwagon and lose this weight once and for all! At around $300 a month, this plan didn’t seem like a cheap solution to my problem, but once I saw how much money I saved by not buying junk to eat, not going out for ice cream 2 nights a week, and not eating out all the time, it was pretty clear that Medifast was actually saving me money!! I started Medifast on July 16, 2009 and have steadily lost weight every week since! I am proud to say that I have stayed OP since day 1 and it is paying off! Even through the holidays, I stayed true to my program and to date I have lost 59 pounds! YEAH! I know that with Medifast I will be able to get to my goal weight AND learn how to keep the weight off! I’m not sure what my goal weight will be, but I plan on losing around 10 pounds more than my goal, so I will have a 10 pound cushion. I don’t ever want to have more than 10 pounds to lose ever again!
Here’s to a wonderful NEW YEAR my friends!
