Hi, KittyKat!
Your name is Purrrrrfectly cute! We have a lot of people here on our Forum that have lost more than 80 pounds and some are in the process of going for 20 pounds and others for more than 100 pounds - this is where we learn how to stick to the program and to encourge and support one another because we are like you -concerned about having to do this just this time and not to have to keep on doing re-dos!
I want to thank you all for jumping in here and replying to KittyKat in my absence. We were at a conference this weekend and I am weary after getting but 2.5 hours sleep last night and serving all day.
It was excellent and as always, I learned new things and felt blessed to be able to speak to others about our excellent program and products.
Many people need what we have. Medifast saves lives.
My husband Terry and I spoke this morning and we are thankful that our friend and fellow Health Advisor here at MMT Jan served on our panel discussion. She did an A+ job!
Some of the wonderful benefits of our program include the fact that we do not need to be mathematicians or gourmet cooks!
Because we've often been conditioned by other programs to count calories, this may seem a little foreign, but rest assured, our parent company Medifast has gone before us and figured out the calories and the carbohydrates for us.
They’ve done the shopping and the preparation, all we need to do is look at the menu, decide what we want to eat every three hours, fill a little plastic jar with 8 ounces of water, rip off the top of an envelope and shake it or nuke it (if it’s soup, oatmeal, etc.) and eat.
No more counting calories is really wonderful – it means we have more time to do other things with our family and friends!
Each packet also contains the 24 essential vitamins and minerals we need to lose weight safely and rapidly. During the weight loss phase we need not worry ourselves about the nutrition part, our job is to stick to the program, follow the guidelines for the lean protein the vegetable portion; the weight comes off.
Physicians have used Medifast since 1977 to help people like me and many hundreds of thousands (actually over a million ) of overweight people to lose weight, reach optimal health and to maintain their weight.
Weight loss is not easy and you are right to wonder about the success rate. I certainly wondered that, too before I began yet ANOTHER weight loss program because I felt like such a weight loss drop-out, a total failure at winning the losing game.
What we learn during the weight loss phase helps prepare us for lifelong maintenance: we become familiar with our eating triggers and learn how to change our behaviors, prepare in advance what we will eat and stick to our plan, control our food intake, eat 5-6 small meals daily – never skip breakfast! Eat low fat, low calorie meals and include exercise most every day. Exercise is not a super important component during the weight loss phase but it IS vital for weight maintenance. Portion size is critical and we learn that during weight loss. We must monitor our weight frequently and maintain a support system.
Losing weight with Medifast is consistently faster than with other programs. It is vital to properly go through transition and maintenance, to slowly reintroduce foods and to exercise – this must be a change in the way we live. To keep our weight loss permanent, we must make permanent changes; changes in the way we view food and permanent changes in the way we live.
I don’t have the latest findings on our weight loss success, it is about the same for most weight loss programs. I do not like to focus on the failure rates of any weight loss programs – I was a loser at losing until I met Medifast. This may not be what you’re looking for but it has proven to be successful for many of us. I was totally out of control with food; I could not be trusted with a fork. The packets were ideal for me.
In the same way that weight loss is up to the individual to do, maintenance success is also up to the individual. With the support of our MakeMeThinner Forum and a personal Health Advisor, we have all we need to be winners at losing. My success can be your success; the success of us all can be your success.

Perhaps after you read thru some of the Forum pages a little more - especially the Studio and see the pictures of people who have lost weight, you will be able to make an informed decision. Of course I will tell you this stuff works!
