TAKE SHAPE FOR LIFE



MEDIFAST IS: FAST: Average weight loss of up 2-5 pounds a week. SAFE: A plan that has been recommended by over 20,000 doctors since 1980; low-glycemic foods that can work for everyone, including people with type 2 diabetes. SIMPLE: Nutritious, pre-portioned, easy-to-prepare meals that are delivered to your door. SATISFYING: Formulated to be filling and satisfying. SUPPORTED: Answers and inspiration whenever you need them; whether they come from your Health Coach, our online community, or the Home Office, you're never alone.

Six month's ago I couldn't stand for more then 10 minutes because my lower back hurt so bad. I knew that I had deteriorating disc's and it was getting worse every day. I'll make this short by saying this: My prayers were answered. I found relief. Elite Performance Health Center, 17 treatments on a defusing machine.

It took me two months to accept that I wasn't in pain anymore. Two months to change some bad habits that I had gotten into.

I wanted to do my part, so, again my prayers were answered. I found a nutritional life style that works with my body to burn unwanted weight. I began the program the week before Thanksgiving and as of today, I have lost 30 lbs. I plan on staying with this life style till I reach my goal. Then I will begin on a journey of maintenance. I can stay close to this new life style for the rest of my life.

I wanted to share this with you, because I have a great passion for all things and people. I want to live my life to the fullest. That to me means, sharing with others!

  1. Dear Cindy, how wonderful, that you are now healthy, and feeling good! 30 lbs is GREAT!! only since Thanksgiving? wow, you should be very proud. Three years ago, I went on the Adtkins diet, and the first two weeks were, well, pure you know what! but after my system finally adjusted to not eating cheetos, and chips, and soda, I felt so much better, had so much more energy, and in general liked myself again, and was 30 lbs lighter!!! I am sad to admit I now need to lose 40 lbs , you have inspired me to join the band wagon, lets hope I can hang on! hugs, Christel

  4. Cindy...how wonderful, I am so jealous, that is my gold for weight loss...I have a lap band, but ice cream can easily be eaten....regardless of how tight the band is.

    But I have made a committment, so no more ice cream.

  5. Cindy,
    30 pounds!!OMG, how many dress sizes is that? I am so proud for you. I need to lose at least 20 myself. I am a late night ice cream eater. The worst thing I can do, I know. Maybe I'll try your regimen, it seems to be working. Lisa
