THANK YOU for giving me my life back!
I am so grateful for this amazing
program! It’s allowed me to focus on WHY I eat
instead of WHAT I eat by taking the guesswork out of
meal preparation.
I have been heavy most of my life…yo-yoing back and
forth so many times I’ve lost count.
Like you, I had tried so many diet plans, pills,
etc. but still never lost any significant amount of
weight or kept it off…actually I could lose some
weight but then I’d gain it back with extra to boot.
I ate because I was bored, hurt, scared and afraid
of missing out on my life. I was so tired of
watching people do all the things I wanted to
do…walk my dog, play tennis, swim, hike, etc.
I was bored because I didn’t feel well. Although I
didn’t realize just how badly I felt until I had
lost the weight and rediscovered my health and my
body!
I had been on anti depressants and anxiety
medication for 10 years. I was really covering up my
feelings with food and medication. The doses got
heavier the heavier I got. I didn’t feel like doing
anything so I just kept hanging out with my friend
food, kept on gaining weight and going more inward
with each passing day.
I had no energy and my health was declining. My
blood pressure was rising, my pulse was 112 and I
was fading fast.
Then I hit the wall (that’s what I call the
announcement from my doctor that something had to be
done about my weight…that if I kept it up…my life
would be cut short.)
So…it was decision time…keep doing what I was doing
or change it.
I hit the internet and discovered a product called
Medifast and TOOK MY LIFE BACK!
On the Medifast program there is no guesswork. You
eat when you’re told to, eat what you’re told to;
drink lots of water and start to move your body.
Then your body starts to change. Because the weight
comes off so fast…you stay encouraged and anxious to
accomplish more.
When you lose the weight, you gain back your
self-confidence, you gain another block you can
walk, another lap you can swim, another 10 years (or
more) with your family or the person you love…wow,
that’s powerful!
I am so enjoying being able to move again. I’m
swimming, walking 2 miles a day, lifting weights,
hiking, going to the park with my dog…doing almost
anything I can get my hands on – I LOVE being in my
body again.
I started the program on August 8th of 2005 and by
November 25th or so I had lost 70 pounds.
I used to wear a size 22 and weighed 212 pounds. Now
I wear a size 10 and I weigh 142 pounds.
People ask me what’s different THIS TIME…I say it’s
me. I’m back!
Medifast was my vehicle toward change.
Remember that medication I mentioned before…well,
I’m off all of it.
I look back now and can’t believe how long I lived
in that self imposed prison!!!
THERE IS HOPE, THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE
TUNNEL and YOU CAN DO IT!
Chose to step into your life, take another chance
and change your life!
“Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels” is my
new mantra.
Your issues with weight will be a thing of the
past…a stepping stone into your amazing future!
Take control & shape your life!
It’s quite fun on the other side!

Cathy Scapicio lost 25 lbs and over 20 inches |

This program has changed my
life, truly. In the first 2 months on the "fasting"
program (which is just eating Medifast food), I lost
25 lbs., over 20 inches, went from a size 12/14 in
clothes to a size 6 and I love the reflection in the
mirror for the first time in 10 years. |
|
I'm also off blood pressure medication, and my
cholesterol has gone down from 247 to 190 over those
same 2 months.
I fit into my wedding dress again as well. I feel
great. I'm back at the gym (which I've always loved)
faithfully as part of my lifestyle change as well.
My trainer mentioned to me that this is the first
time she's witnessed anyone losing many inches
before weight.
Incredible. I'm now on the maintenance program which
is a vital part of maintaining my weight loss.
By just having my Medifast breakfast, and their 2
snacks daily, I've resisted some gruesome foods and
opted for the nutritious ones fortified with soy
protein. I'm NOT going back to my old eating habits
for that will give me back that old body . . . UGH!
An added plus is that I'm actually looking forward
to summer clothes shopping. Those bathing suits,
sundresses, and shorts I once cried over after a
visit to the fitting room are now a welcomed part of
my shopping trip. This will be the best summer ever.
I feel like a butterfly emerging from it's cocoon.
As I have said in the past, "watch out world, I'm
back, and better then ever!"

Bernie and Vickie Armstrong,
each lost 25 pounds in six weeks over the
Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday Season by
utilizing the Medifast by Take Shape for Life
low calorie diet.
|
|
Bernie was on the Medifast 70
program for one month and on the “Prescription for
Life” maintenance program for two months and his
overall cholesterol went down by 40 points; his
Triglycerides dropped 240 points; and his HDL (good)
cholesterol went up 8 points!
Bernie continues to maintain his weight loss by
replacing one meal and snacks each day with the
Medifast foods.
Vickie said, "This is the easiest I've ever lost
weight and I've tried all types of programs and
products! The varieties of tasty food replacements
are very satisfying! Quick, safe, no cravings, no
headaches, no hunger. I feel better than I have in
years! I have more energy, better moods, and I am
now able to wear clothes from the back of my closet
that used to be too small! I’ve been on Medifast
by Take Shape for Life low calorie diet for four
months now and have maintained my weight loss."
Bernie not only benefited from the reduced stress on
his heart due to the weight loss but also the health
benefits from the Medifast by Take Shape for
Life normalized his cholesterol levels! |
