Keri Boatman Success Story

I decided it was time to do something about my weight, so I went to Medifast Weight Control Centers in April 2006. I am 29 years old, 5 feet tall and I weighed 183 pounds when I started; I have been on the program for a little over a year now and have lost 61 pounds!

My weight has always been a struggle for me, and I tried just about every fad diet out there. I would lose 10-20 pounds here and there, but I would always gain it back – plus some. I never learned the correct way to eat until I went to Medifast Weight Control Centers.

With Medifast Weight Control Centers, I immediately saw results. Within the first week I lost 7 pounds. After the first 2 weeks, I went on the 5 & 1 Plan, then the Daily Nutrition Plan and I am currently on the Maintenance Plan. Eating 6 meals a day every 2-3 hours helped me because I never felt hungry. Although I am a vegetarian, the counselors were able to customize my meal plans to fit my needs. I also found that writing in my journal was very helpful because it allowed me to see areas where I could do better.

Losing all this weight has made me feel fantastic! I am a teacher and my weight problem made it hard for me to lift the children and deal with their behavioral issues. Now I can sit on the floor with them and be able to get up easily! I feel a lot less stressed, and my legs and feet don’t hurt at the end of the day.

I now weigh 122 pounds and have gone from a size 18 to a size 2 and I couldn’t have done it without the counselors at Medifast Weight Control Centers. They were so supportive and understanding, and guided me the whole way.

Everyone has been so excited to see the new me! It feels great when people comment on how proud they are of me, even people I hardly know. Thanks to Medifast Weight Control Centers, I have finally learned how to eat. I am now eating to live, instead of living to eat!
