I began my Medifast journey in October and followed it for 3 months. I remained realistic about losing weight for my age (40’s) throughout the whole process and learned a whole lot. As I’m typing this and critiquing my before and after photo, my 16 year old came up behind me and said, “Wow, that’s a big difference.” To me, the most noticeable difference is when I look at my side profile before and afters and it makes me realize that hard work has paid off.

Then I started looking at pictures of me from the holidays and for once, I am happy with how I look. Typically when I take a photo, I’d say “Only take it from mid-chest up” because I was embarrassed about my weight (do you do this, too") But you can tell from the smile on my face that I genuinely felt confident in my own skin. See for yourself: My brother and I when I visited him in Utah.

My final results were that I lost 6 pounds and 14 inches. I think you can see from the photos that 14 inches lost makes a big difference! I mainly lost it in my bust, waist, hips and butt. I literally pulled my belt so tight that I had to create new holes just to keep my jeans up!
Some things I have learned is what Medifast is really like – the food is good, it sets you up for success and it’s not as difficult as it seem...
