Now, I’m wearing a size 6-8 and even recently purchased a bikini for the first time in 20 years!

I am thrilled with the results of my Medifast Diet, as is everyone around me! I was hesitant to have my fat pictures in cyberspace so I shared my story with friends and family instead of Medifast, until now.

Living in South Florida is not easy when you’re fat! All the beautiful people are here! After giving birth to two children (1993 and 1998) I was able to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight with diet and exercise.

Then I developed Hypothyroidism and began gaining weight. I was tired and not happy. All I could do was sit in front of the TV after a long day and munch. As the pounds piled on, I had less interest in outside activities and became more run-down. In January 2005, I decided to attempt to take the weight off. I had reached 200 pounds (size XL) and I needed an exercise program that would start slow.

I joined Curves in April 2005 but did not really change my eating habits. By July 2005, I had only lost 10 pounds.

Then someone told me about Medifast. I checked out the website and loved what I saw.

In October 2005, I began the diet. Immediately I felt more energy. I loved the oatmeal and the bars as well as the soup and shakes. I was eating every three hours, which was great and kept me from ever feeling hungry.

By December, I was loving life again.

I was buying new clothes, getting my hair and nails done and enjoying going out again!

Now, I’m wearing a size 6-8 and even recently purchased a bikini for the first time in 20 years!

I feel better and look better than I have in a very long time! I have incorporated food from my fridge back into my diet, but Medifast got me on track and helped me to want to eat healthier..

Seeing the weight start to come off quickly while feeling full and energetic gave me the motivation I needed to change my life. Now I eat a salad for lunch and a healthy dinner. I still have oatmeal for breakfast everyday and eat the Medifast bars for snacks. I walk on a regular basis. If I feel like I am starting to overindulge on the weekend, I have the soup or a shake for snacks and dinner for a few days and I am back on track. My current weight is 150 and I could not be happier.
