Medifast.

One of my chapters I need to close out this year is my weight loss journey.  I recently stopped nursing C and knew it was time.  It was time to make a change.  I needed to do this for me, my boys, and my husband!  I decided I needed to lose 55 pounds.  I started researching different weight loss programs: Jenny Craig, Nurtisystem, Weight Watchers, and Herbalife.  I've done Weight Watchers before.  I loved it!  I enjoyed going to the meetings and preparing the fifteen thousand packages of snacks. Okay I'm exaggerating a bit, but it really did feel like fifteen thousand.  I was successful a few years ago before I had three kids.  I knew I couldn't do it again.  I don't have a lot of time as it is and I'm working on time management.  Herbalife I did about 2 years ago.  It was okay.  Shakes were okay.  But I got a stomach bug while on herbalife and was sick a lot.  Can't stomach it now, so that was out of the question too.  I was researching the other 2 programs when I came across Medifast.  I was hooked.  I asked around and decided this was the best way for me at this point in my life. 

I joined and started a few days later.  First week was an emotional roller coaster, but I made it through and lost 6 pounds.  Second week was horrible!  It was Easter and I cheated.  I gave in mostly.  I only lost .5, but I tried to stay positive.  I didn't gain.  Third week I stuck to it and lost 4.5 pounds!  I started exercising and feeling great!  I even mowed the grass!!!  Who is this new person!

I'm on week five and lost almost 15 pounds.  My actual weight lost is 13.5 pounds as of last Sunday.  I wonder what tomorrow's weight will be.  Have I lost any additional weight?  Inches?  I think my total is like 3 1/4 inches so far.  My clothes are feeling completely different.  I'm even in a new bracket of poundage (is poundage a word?).  :)  I'm almost to a lower size.  I can't wait to continue my lost weight journey and get back to the old me (or new me with 3 kids!).  If I can do this, anyone can.
