Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
I started yesterday, March 1, 2005.
I have been researching and reading all about Medifast over the last few weeks as I am READY TO GET THIN and get my healthy mind-set and body back.
Medifast seems like the plan for me. Like many of you I've lost and regained weight in the past. I noticed some things along the way. First, it became a time-consuming, tedious chore to count calories and monitor food while trying to lose weight, no matter what the diet plan was. Also, I would only lose about 1/2 the desired weight before finally giving up and slowly eat my way back up the scale.
While I've always been an active, athletic person, I have also spent most of my life eating too much and unhealthy foods. As I get older I can feel in my body this just isn't going to work, physically and mentally.
I am so busy working full-time and going to grad-school, I love that Medifast is all planned out for me and I just need my packets and a big bottle of water with me. Yesterday and today I left my house at 6:30 am and didn't get home until 8:30 pm. How great was it to not think about what foods I should bring, buy, eat, not eat...!?! It actually freed me from a certain amount of stress that I allow to infringe upon my psyche each morning as I think, okay, today I eat heatlhy, what will I eat today, yesterday I ate, today I ate....
I won't even pretend that I didn't think about all the food around me, especially during my weakest hours in the late afternoon/early evening. But I kept thinking so much about what people wrote in their posts that I have been reading this last week (or as some people say, lurking
) and it helped me remember why I'm doing Medifast. I even started thinking ahead to times when it will continue to be hard, but I know I just want thinness in the long run more than the "comfort" that food brings in the short term. - So, thanks to all of you who have shared your successes and difficulties along the way to get there. I really appreciate it and I look forward to being another MF success with stories to help another person reach their goal too.
Trying to get the most out of my life that I can,

FYI
I'm 39, female, 5'9.
My starting weight (dare I say?) is 230
Do you ever look at yourself and wonder how you let yourself get to this point? Well, I can't change the past, but I can do something about my present and future. Speaking of which...
My goal is 130.
well hello LA! welcome... I've started and stopped medifast more times than the dow goes up and down. I've been through more stress in three months. I've had two major cancer scares and waited for test results. So what did I do? I rewarded myself by eating. I figured if i was going to drop dead I might as well "live it up" 
). Good luck and welcome!
