Jumping for Joy

I started the Medifast Diet 2 weeks ago after letting my self get to a
whopping 247 lbs. My goal is to try and loose 100 lbs. So far in two
weeks I have lost 8 lbs and I am down to 239. I also started doing
some low impact walking, which is a lot for me, I plan on gradually
working my way up.

Would like to hear from others who have had success on this diet. I
have tried others with no luck or, put the weight back on shortly
afterwards.

Congratulations Chamel. Don't worry about the amount of time spent on
exercise in the beginning as that will increase over time. Just adding
the exercise is an important step in losing and maintaining the weight
loss.

I know of one poster who had success on a similar program but she
hasn't been posting lately. Are you doing the program under medical
supervision? This is often very important on the VLCD plans. The
transition and maintenance phases of these diets are just as important
as the weight loss phase. Many people successfully lose the weight but
fail to have a good maintenance plan in place and revert back to their
old ways of eating.

Yes Beverly, It was recommended to me by my doctor. I have to go in
for a check up mid December.
I am excited, so far it is working well for me. I just have to survive
these Holidays, sometimes I wish they were over.

Thanks for responding

Keeping the weight off for the long-term is challenging--glad to hear
you're on the right path, and I hope that continues.
