Congratulations Jim for losing 50 pounds
I joined the Optifast program for two reasons. First is because of the convenience of the program. You do not have to weigh out or measure certain amounts of food. You are asked to take a certain amount of shakes per day and eat a full meal replacement bar once a day. This was very convenient for me with my work schedule. In fact after the first week I found sometimes that I was not hungry, I had to remember to keep taking my shakes every two – three hours. Second, I know the key to successfully lose weight and keep it off is that you have to exercise. But with other programs I could not get the weight off by exercising because of osteoarthritis of my right knee. With the Optifast program you are not required to exercise the first 10 weeks or so of the program. I was able to take off over 50 lbs and know am able to get back into an exercise program without effecting my knee as much now. And there is a third reason, which I discovered after being in the program. The support of the staff at Valley Bariatric and Internal Medicine is fantastic. They are very interested in every client’s progress and any questions you may have. And with a lot of programs that I have tried, once you are done with the program, you are never asked to come back again. At Valley Bariatric, they encourage you to keep coming back to monitor and review your progress. This is called there maintenance program. This is very encouraging to have that feeling that you are not on your own once the program is over. You have that continued support. Congratulations Shelly for losing 40 pounds
I know that I am going to sound like everyone else when I say that I have tried every diet program and nothing has worked for me. I got started with the Medifast Program and have now been involved for approximately 7 months, I have lost 40 pounds, with reaching my 30 pound point at about 4 months into the program. Noticing not only the physical changes that I have experienced, I am now also craving all healthy foods and have learned and incorporated the appropriate portion sizes. Which was the easy part of this program, it is all there, ready in a couple of minutes and portion controlled. -Shelly |
