My Weight Loss
 

I figured I would pop in here and share my good news. On 7/5 of this year, I was 6'5" and I weighed 342 pounds. I decided to do the Take Shape for Life plan. As of 9/5 (2 months) I am down to 290 for a total loss of 52 pounds :banger

I did so well with my weight loss that I was invited to become a health coach with Take Shape for Life. I now have 8 clients under me and they are losing weight as well. It feels great to be able to help others as well. I cannot wait to get to my goal weight. :)

Congrats on your success! A couple years ago I tried the medifast diet on and off for about a year (I'm assuming, based on the web site, that this diet is the same as medifast). I didn't have much success and, for the price, I thought the food was pretty lacking. All they seemed to have at the time were soups , shakes and powdered eggs. Has the food gotten any more tolerable?

Re: My Weight Loss
 

Congrats and best of luck

Re: My Weight Loss
 

Keep up the great work, Dan!

Re: My Weight Loss
 

The problem is that you did Medifast. I am doing Take Shape for Life which uses Medifast products. With Take Shape for Life you get a free health coach which holds you accountable (I have a coach, and I am currently coaching clients under me). It costs the same as if you would have signed up with Medifast. Medifast improved their products greatly. They also have new foods. I am the pickiest eater in the world and I absolutely love the food. My mom and dad are also on the plan and they love everything. On day 4 and day 10 your taste buds change and you no longer crave salts, fats, sugar, etc.

Also, with Take Shape for Life you get to eat a Lean and Green meal which is delicious! You can eat steaks, chicken, pork, fish, etc.

Here is a link to my website which shows some more of the foods. Click on the shop tab and it will show you all of the products. Let me know if I can help you out :tu http://ohiodan.tsfl.com

Re: My Weight Loss
 

Wow great job! Once you’ve reached your target weight, throw out or give away every piece of clothing that doesn’t fit. The idea of having to buy a whole new wardrobe if you gain the weight back will serve as a strong incentive to maintain your new figure. ;)

Re: My Weight Loss
 

Great job Dan, keep at it :tu

Re: My Weight Loss
 

Congrats Dan on the success

Re: My Weight Loss
 

Update: I am now down to 287, so that makes 55 pounds and I am still going!

Since I have lost 55 pounds, that translates to 220 pounds less on my joints :tu (for each pound you lose, you take 4 pounds of pressure off of your joints)

I am now down 93 pounds! I went from morbidly obese (342 pounds) on 7/5 to obese, and now I am only overweight (249 pounds). :) I was a size 46 waist pant on 7/5, and now I am down to a size 38 waist pant. :) It is so easy to lose weight if you put your mind to it. :)
