What a lovely Sunday afternoon!!

I am totally on the Medifast 5 and 1 plan, and cannot wait to see the results on my weigh in tomorrow!

I was thinking this morning as I made my Cappuccino for breakfast, that my life has done a complete turn around!!

In the COLD January winter of 2007, as I started this program, I had so many goals in mind.

I THOUGHT that the 1st and foremost was my weight… To look and feel better about myself…

But what I GOT was an even GREATER gift!!

For the past 10 years or so, I have had trouble with my ankles and knees… I fell and injured both, and had to walk with a cane.

In the summer I did OK without the cane, as long as I had time to sit and rest… But in the Wintertime, My cane was my constant companion.

So I started the program at almost 350 pounds, and walking with my cane… as Summer came, and I did better without the cane, I put it behind the door as usual “JUST IN CASE”

So by the Winter of 2007, about 9-10 Months into the program, as the Cold winds began to blow… I realized “I’M Waaaay into winter, and NO CANE!!”

To this day, my cane is STILL behind the door!!

I CAN DO THIS PLAN!! I can continue to get healthier, and I wonder…

What ELSE might happen as I tread on untouched ground??

I still have 70 pounds to go, But I weigh less now than I did when I married 21 years ago!!

Medifast is my Miracle, and I could NEVER have gotten this far without my Health Coach!

Good Evening,

I had such a busy day today… Busier than I have been in a long time!

I knew it was going to be a runner runner day… And I din’t want to get stressed and blow it… So I prepared for it by packing 2 of my Medifast Ready to drinks and a Smores bar, and put it in the refrigerator last night.

I really like the convienience of the ready to drinks when I am on-the-go like that!

Then I just get a cup of ice when I stop for a bottle of water…

No shaker jar to clean, nothing to mix… I love it!

So now I am relaxing, ready for bed, and SOOOO happy I had another 100% successful day!

I have a better attitude and love ME more when I stick to the plan!

And I love that the weight is just coming off so easy! I don’t even think about it and obsess anymore!

I just do what I know I need to do, and the rest falls into place!

My life has REALLY changed because of this program!

Have you ever had those moments in your life when you just KNOW that something GRAND is about to enter STAGE LEFT??

All of us have…

And THAT is where I am RIGHT NOW with Medifast!!

I am a part of something so GREAT, that the strongest dam in the world couldn’t hold it!

I am losing weight with the ONLY thing that has ever REALLY worked! I’m getting healthier, achieving peace of mind, and gaining a financial freedom like I have NEVER had IN MY LIFE!

I just didn’t take that step before now to allow myself to DREAM!

Something in my brain clicked, and I KNEW it was TIME to get healthy… Ya’ know once I realized that I couldn’t just keep on reading, and keep on finding excuses why I was not gonna start TODAY, It became clear that TODAY can NEVER start tomorrow!

So if you are reading this… and this sounds like you… Walk this road with me… Lets do this thing!!  I’ve come from a person who was over 325 pounds, who was DYING a day at a time… To a person who has lost 120 PLUS pounds and is LIVIN’ a day at a time!

I am finishing up my second week fo transition today.  I weigh 136 lbs.  I have now been able to add back more veggies and fruit.  I am looking forward to tomorrow as I can have yogurt again.  I was afraid of going into transition because I thought that if I started eating the foods that have been out of my diet for so long, I would gain weight back.  To my surprise, I am still losing.  I have less than one pound to lose to be able to say that I lost exactly one half of my body weight.  Wow!  If the rest of transition goes as smooth as the last two weeks, this is as easy as the 5/1.  As long as you keep eating on the same 5/1 schedule ( every 2-3 hours) and remember portion control, it becomes habit just as the 5/1 did.  The only other thing I can think of to add right now is simply this….Do transition the way it is written and you are well on your way to keeping the weight off forever.  Optimal health…..I’m livin’ it!!!
