Weight Loss Success Story of Rebecca

I am here to tell you that it can be done and it can be done quickly without surgery! I lost 80 pounds in 6 months! That’s right! 80 pounds in 6 months! I weighed 230 pounds and was a size 20w. I am now 150 pounds and a size 8.

In January of 2008 I caught a good glimpse of myself in a full length mirror and almost died. I had really been feeling bad, tired, winded my knees were starting to hurt. At 34 years old I felt much older. I kept finding excuses to stay inside and hide from the world. I made sure every vacation my family took was never to the beach for fear of the dreaded swimsuit. I did like many do at the start of a new year and made a resolution to lose the weight and go to the beach.

So it began, I went to the internet to do some research on different types of diets. I read so much info on so many different types of diets. I needed one that was so easy to follow there would be no way for me to mess it up. That’s when I found and my life changed forever!

The Medifast plan was so easy to follow I knew it was the diet plan for me. I loved the idea of no exercise for 3 weeks to start, minimal exercise through out. I chose their 5&1 plan and followed it to the letter and lost 9 pounds the first week! Talk about motivation! That gave me the inspiration to keep going, one week at a time.

Let me tell you a little bit about how works. On the 5&1 plan you have 5 of the Medifast meals a day and 1 of your own "lean and green" meals you choose from the list Medifast gives you. It really was as easy as it sounds. On Medifast you eat small meals every 2 to 3 hours, so you never really get hungry. Sure at first it was a little difficult but after a week and seeing the results I was hooked and knew I could do it. Medifast is calorie controlled, so there is no need to count anything ever.

If you are one of the many desperate people like I was, and considering weight loss surgery, please discuss with your Doctor first. I am living proof that you can change your lifestyle in a short period of time and become that happy, healthy person that is trapped inside. I urge you to go and look at what Medifast has to offer and read their website.

I am thankful everyday that I found Medifast. I have the lifestyle I always wanted. I went to the beach in August of 2008 for the first time in 20 years. I felt great! Now I can keep up with my friends and family because I am not lagging behind. I can shop and actually find clothes that fit me in regular stores. I feel better about my self now than I have in a very long time.

If you know that loosing the weight will improve your life, and it will, you should commit and become a success story. Right now it might be hard for you to imagine loosing a bunch of weight, but once it happens, you will get more attention than you thought. People will come out of the woodwork to come see you and tell you how great you look. Not only do I look younger, I am I feel and I look healthier. Many people I've known for years didn't even recognize me!
