“I don’t remember a time in my past when I was a normal weight. I’ve been told my entire life that I was ‘big-boned.’ I weighed 145 lbs by the time I was in second grade. I have ridden the diet roller coaster for as long as I can remember.

“Eventually I came to the end of my rope. I was overweight, tired all the time, my blood pressure was above normal, and I was starting to have back spasms. Getting out of bed in the morning was getting harder and harder. As a teacher, I am on my feet almost all day and all of the extra weight was really taking a toll on my body. Swollen knees and feet at the end of the day were becoming normal.

“Medifast Weight Control Centers changed all of that. Following the plan was so easy and convenient with my hectic daily schedule. The staff at my Center made the Medifast Program even easier (how is that possible?). They were supportive and real.

“Within a couple of weeks my blood pressure was back to normal, the back spasms had stopped, and I had more energy. Instead of sitting on my chair with my second graders on the floor or at their desks, I was on the floor with them in a cooperative learning environment, being the active teacher that I longed to be. 

“Now I am full of energy and life. I actually enjoy exercise! My blood pressure is back to normal. I smile more and just take better care of myself in general. I love to sing and feel so much more confident when I am on stage now. I also just bought my first real bikini and I can’t wait to wear it on the beach this summer!

“Thanks to Medifast Weight Control Centers, I am no longer a captive in the prison of fat that I had built around the real me. I am healthy, active, and feel better than I have felt in 20 years!”
