What Brought You To Try Medifast?

I stumbled upon Medifast by pure accident. I was search online for something related to my work, and I stumbled upon the blog of a man who lost a lot of weight, very quickly, using only Medifast and sheer willpower. My first reaction was…”Medifast? Whaa?” How could I, a seasoned dieter, an internet wiz, and an overall smarty pants, not know about Medifast? What was this guy doing to lose this weight so quickly? What made him stick with it, and hit GOAL? It sparked my interested, so I read on. Okay.. there’s talk of shakes, soups, oatmeal…not bad. I look at his weight drop increments, and am just all-around impressed.

I do a quick search for Medifast. The logo looks familiar, but I had never even heard the name up until I found it on that blog. From there, I read countless reviews of people who had hit goal, or were very close to it…people who had tried every other diet out there and failed. Not paid reviews, not scam sites.. real, honest reviews from real people with real goals.  I talked to people, and asked a good friend of mine, who happens to be a nutritionist about it. Come to find out, she was a Take Shape for Life health coach as well, and highly recommended Medifast to certain clients of hers. She apparently didn’t think I was overweight enough to ever tell me about it. She was floored when I told her how much I really weighed. Her reaction was, “Wow, you carry it SO well!”.

While that’s sweet to hear, the truth was that my body was carrying around 90 lbs of weight that it would be much better off without. It was time to take action. I was dissapointed after my last venture into ’serious’ weight loss waters. I did Weight Watchers, and counting points made me irritated.

Everyday, I wake up and Thank God I found Medifast when I did. I am 25, I have my whole life ahead of me, and I was spending it being miserable, fat, and becoming increasingly introverted by the day. That’s no way to live life!

I started a thread in the ‘Medifast Connection’ board on Mymedifast - asking people how they stumbled upon Medifast. Many people said they saw friends who had lost weight, they heard from others who had friends, or they simply saw an ad that sparked interest. To date, this topic has almost 50 responses, so if you’re curious, feel free to check it out.
