This cruise is a celebration of ten months on Medifast! 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.
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!
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.
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.
Time to get packed!!

I have just ordered my first month's Medifast, and came across your blog while still on the computer. Your story is a replica of where I'm at right now. I weigh 262lbs., 5'4, and 61 yrs. old. I have same medical conditions that you HAD, and feel so hopeful that this program will work if I do what I'm supposed to do. I need God's power to help me tackle the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and that is to lose over 100lbs. and get healthy. If Medifast has a 2009 cruise, I'll be on it a thinner, healthier woman. hope to meet you some tim. sunshine47
