A new face on the block

Postby Jody » March 9th, 2007, 7:02 pm

Hello!

My name is Jody and I'm from the Seattle area. I am 45 years old and like many of you that I've read about have tried absolutely every diet on earth - most more than once. I started researching Medifast and ordered my program earlier this week. I knew it was good 'juu juu' when I emailed my sister in Florida and asked if she was interested in doing the program as well and she wrote back stating that she just ordered it as well! So, on top of this nice group, I'll have my sis to take the journey with me.

I work from my home and always find myself loitering around my kitchen for no particular reason...except to snack. I eat when I'm happy, sad, joyful, etc. Hunger has very little to do with it for me. Hopefully that will change.

I am amazed that I am 5' 7" and have somehow reached 190 lbs. I am a miserable size 16 and would like to lose about 60 lbs. I'm just one Thanksgiving Dinner away from weighing more than my fiance and have decided that I want to be thin for my wedding in September. (Along with about another million other reasons). This is not my first marriage and I am finally with the most amazing partner in life. He is a very handsome doctor and I want to look beautiful for him (and me!).

Anyway, as you can probably tell, I'm chatty! I'm excited, nervous, and hopefully will be as successful as so many of you. This site seems to be full of encouragement and I look forward to being a thinner, better me soon.

Thanks in advance for listening and cheering me and my sister (Jenna) on!

:D :D :D :D

Wow! Thanks everyone for the very warm welcome!! If I could send hugs through this computer, I would.

I'm so excited to get started and hope to keep this enthusiasm when my product arrives and I get rolling.

I'm a bit concerned (okay, more than a BIT) that this is going to mean a SERIOUS change to my entire lifestyle. I plan parties and events for a living. As we speak, I am planning two menus for a party for 200 and one for 500 for my client in Las Vegas. I just need to keep focused on the prize (a thin new me!) and not give in and give up. I really feel like these boards will be a tremendous help to me.

Soooo, probably crazy but these last few days before I dive in, I'm having one last hurrah...saying goodbye to all the crap that I live on - fast food, fried food, snacks and basically anything that isn't nailed down. :roll:

I know I will be a common name on these boards and I thank you all in advance for your support. Your successes already encourage me and I'm not at day #1 yet.

Here's to saying goodbye to size 16! :D

PS. Where do all these adorable little jumpie smilies, frogs, etc. come from?? I just love them!
