One summer, I returned home from vacation very ill. I went to my doctor and he said that there were only two ways to go, Medifast or the hospital. He told me I need to either lose weight or have the fluid drained from my body. He suggested that I do the Medifast program, and I told him that I could. He also told me to drink plenty of water. This was 5 years ago. I am 75-years-old now and still at the weight my doctor wants me. I was on insulin since I was 40-years-old, but now I no longer take insulin. I also no longer have to take 2 shots a day to get rid of my high blood pressure. I have lost 150 pounds and 8-10 dress sizes. I am doing great!

I started Medifast Dec 3rd, 2005, stuck to it to the tee and lost 30 pounds in the first month. I'm now in my 6th week and have lost 42 pounds and 6 inches off of my waist. I started at 292 pounds and am now at 250 pounds. The “before” and “during” pictures prove it. After the first month, I started tweaking the program, cut out the Medifast bars which I felt had too many carbs and sugar and replaced it with smaller amounts of better, low glycemic index carbs and my weight loss has increased since on Medifast only. My sleep apnea doctor is the one who suggested Medifast. Since my weight loss, they have had to cut the pressure on my CPAP machine in half and my cardiac doctor has cut all my blood pressure meds in half and my blood pressure is still too low. I hope after 30-40 more pounds I will completely be off of my CPAP machine and off blood pressure meds.

I have been on the Medifast program since February 2004 and have lost over 160 pounds. To say Medifast has changed my life is one of the greatest understatements ever. When I decided to go on the Medifast program, it was literally the final step before I resorted to a surgical alternative. It was my last hope. I’ve always struggled with my weight, but once I graduated college and ventured into the business world, the pounds piled on. Before I knew it, I had gained 130 pounds. As anyone who has ever dieted knows, one slip defines the whole day; it is a vicious circle. Tomorrow is always another day. Well my tomorrow came on Monday, February 16, 2004. I had already purchased my Medifast products and was prepared to start that Tuesday. I decided there was no better day than the present and that I would just try to get through Monday and then see what Tuesday would bring. Monday was successful, as was Tuesday and every day after that. I lost 19.5 pounds in the first two weeks! People have asked me if the first couple of weeks were difficult. They weren’t; as a matter of fact, this is the easiest program I have ever encountered. I know exactly what I will be eating every day. I choose to have one shake a day at breakfast and have four soups over the rest of the day. Anybody can do this program. Now, I can hear the excuses….”I can’t do this; I travel and have to entertain clients”. Guess what, so do I. It’s amazing how well this fits into a busy work schedule. When I have business dinners or even social engagements, I simply bring my soups along with me. When I’m asked what I would like for dinner, I request hot water in a soup bowl and spoon. There has never been a time that my request has gone unfilled. As a matter of fact, I went to Germany for eleven days during my program and was able to get a bowl of hot water everywhere I went. People are curious and will sometimes ask what I’m doing with the water, but no one is ever rude or discourteous. If anything, they are amazed at what I am doing and are very complimentary. When I am in the office, I simply put water in a hot pot and wait for it to boil; and then I have my soup. It’s just that easy! For many years, I hid from my friends and family because I was so disgusted and embarrassed with the way I looked. I would find excuses not to attend events, but missed out on so much; and they missed out on seeing me. My health also had deteriorated. I had been on blood pressure medicine for eight years. Within a couple of months on the program, my blood pressure normalized and I was able to discontinue my blood pressure medicine altogether. With every pound lost, I was literally that much lighter on my feet. I used to spend a lot of time trying to find the closest parking spot, but since I have lost the weight, I am able to walk everywhere with no discomfort. Medifast has, without a doubt, changed my life. I’ve always been outgoing, and now my self-confidence has returned and I find myself enjoying life and participating in activities I wouldn’t have been comfortable doing when I was heavy. For instance, I got up at my company’s holiday party and sang Karaoke the other evening! I would have never done that in the past because I would have been concerned that people would have been judging me by my weight. Now, all they had to do was judge me on my singing performance!! Not only have I achieved personal success, I have also achieved professional success. I never felt as though I was discriminated against in the workplace because of my weight; however, I have certainly become more visible since I have lost the weight and was recently promoted. Kind of ironic that I am more visible now that there is less of me! I am certain this is only the beginning of good things to come! Finally, Medifast has helped me to control my eating. Food no longer controls me; I control it. I now eat when I am hungry; period. Medifast puts my focus on listening to my internal body cues and has given me the time to determine how I will eat once I am off of the program. I will make healthier choices of what I put into my body. I would recommend this program to anyone ready to take that first step in the journey to becoming healthy and taking control of the weight once and for all. It will change your life. It has definitely changed mine. Thanks Medifast!!

I just want to let everyone know how much I truly love Medifast! It works so well. I want to give anyone who needs a little support, proof of the wonderful life Medifast is helping me achieve. I have lost 80 pounds, and it only took me 13 weeks to lose the weight. My goal is to lose 20 additional pounds. I stopped dieting for the summer because of a long family vacation to Florida. I am happy to report that from May to July, I gained no weight. In July, on our trip, I gained 6 pounds, 3 of which I dropped right after we returned home. I said from the beginning that I was going to go back on Medifast when our 8-year-old went back to school in the fall. Well, he started school on Monday and I started Medifast again on Tuesday. I will keep you updated with a "finished" picture when I reach my goal. I know with Medifast it won’t be long. I am still as pumped up about Medifast as I was the first time I ordered. It has changed my face, my body, and my life!!!

Exercise and Medifast Incorporating regular exercise into your weight loss (and weight maintenance) program significantly increases your chances of achieving long-term results. If you do not exercise currently, we recommend you wait three weeks after starting the 5 & 1 Plan before you begin an exercise program. If you do exercise currently, we recommend you cut your current plan in half during your first three weeks on the 5 & 1 Plan, then gradually build it back up. We all know exercise can help you stay trim and in shape, but there are a number of health benefits sometimes overlooked: Helps prevent chronic diseases (such as heart disease), stroke and diabetes Improves your overall mood Reduces high blood pressure Reduces stress Strengthens muscles, bones and joints Improves metabolism and increases your energy level Strengthens immune system Prevents depression Increases bone density, which helps prevent osteoporosis There are three types of exercise recommended for optimal health: 1) aerobic exercise, 2) strength training, and 3) lifestyle exercise. Aerobic exercise will help strengthen your heart and lungs. Strength training can help tone muscles, increase strength and bone density, improve posture and even reduce the potential for injury. In addition, strength training helps increase your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories on a daily basis. Lifestyle exercise refers to everyday chores or activities that can be utilized as exercise (e.g., taking the steps instead of the elevator, walking your pet, parking a greater distance from your destination). The Medifast Exercise Guide provides tips on how to exercise, when to exercise and the type of exercise activities we recommend. We’ll introduce you to the Medifast Walking Program, a 12-week walking program for beginners OR exercise veterans – and we’ll help you incorporate a consistent workout schedule into your healthy lifestyle. Before you begin exercising, be sure to check with your doctor to make sure your exercise plan is appropriate for you. Once you have been deemed ready, adopt a slow pace and gradually increase the amount of time spent on the activity.
