I started Medifast ten months ago today (June 24) weighing 260 pounds and wearing size 24W/3X pants and 22W/2X tops. I had hit the threshold for diabetes, I was on medication for cholesterol and gastric reflux, and I felt old. While doing an internet search for yet another diet to try, I came across information about Medifast. When I saw that it was the same program that Johns Hopkins uses, and when I read some of the success stories and saw the before and after pictures, I knew I had to give it a try.<br /><br />Ten months later, I have lost 112 pounds and am only 8 pounds away from my weight loss goal! I am wearing size 8 slacks, size 6 dresses and skirts, and size 4 jackets/blazers. Best of all, I am no longer diabetic and my cholesterol and blood pressure are perfect - without medication! I'm no longer on medication for gastric reflux, either! I've lost weight and gotten healthy - what a gift!<br /><br />So many wonderful people in the Medifast on-line community have encouraged, inspired and supported me on my journey and I can hardly wait to meet some of them on the cruise! We will ALL be celebrating our weight loss and the friendships that have been formed along the way.<br /><br />I am so thankful to God for leading me to Medifast - it has changed my life! I am now a certified health coach with a passion to help others change their lives, too.<br /><br />Time to get packed!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8256105710616435391-4188888424333677340?l=medifastcruise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Justpraisinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01611404214131238250noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256105710616435391.post-36033198039460240732008-04-24T13:08:00.000-07:002008-04-24T13:25:34.699-07:00<span style="color:#993399;">Hi - I am a single mom in Colorado. I will be celebrating my big 50th birthday in May of this year, so I thought the weight loss and cruise would be a perfect present to myself!</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">I started the MF diet in November of 2007 and I have lost 47 lbs. I have 15 lbs to go. Medifast has been a GREAT diet for me because it makes menu planning so simple. I've never been one to do a lot of cooking or planning or preparing. Just point me to a fast food or takeout place and I'm good to go. Hence my problem!</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">As soon as I heard about the Medifast cruise I wanted to go. I have been on 3 other cruises and I love them! This time I'm going all by myself - no husband, no kids! I am looking forward to just spending time with the fabulous new friends I've met on the MF boards. I am so excited to meet my roommate who lives in Iowa.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">I have been busily shopping, packing, and shopping some more for the last month. I think I am finally almost ready! Since I've lost all this weight and 5 sizes, I obviously need new everything. It has been such fun to buy smaller, "normal" sizes although I'm sure I've spent too much money. Thank goodness the cruise was so reasonable.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Well, I'm off to get the manicure/pedicure! Can't go on a cruise without that!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8256105710616435391-3603319803946024073?l=medifastcruise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>hanewatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404146776216111459noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256105710616435391.post-26536087322103009902008-04-17T07:20:00.000-07:002008-04-17T07:21:34.403-07:00<p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial; font-size: 100%;">Can't decide what to share?
