“Being overweight for 21 years was causing health problems for me. I was on medication for my blood pressure; my cholesterol was high, and my knees and feet hurt constantly. I was afraid of becoming a diabetic like my father and brother.

“My self-esteem was low - I hated not recognizing the person who stared back at me in the mirror. I was uncomfortable in my body, which made me uncomfortable in life.

“I love the Jump Start Plan for its simplicity. I ate five Medifast Meals and one Lean & Green™ Meal each day. It's the only program that's worked for me, and I have tried them all. The Jump Start Plan eliminates the stress of worrying over what to eat, and the Medifast Meals can be eaten on the go.

“Weighing in each week and having accountability kept my motivation level strong. The Medifast Weight Control Centers staff is fantastic! But what has enabled me to keep the weight off is the Maintenance program. Because of it, my weight no longer controls my life.

“Before, I felt like I lived a 'limited' life. Then Medifast opened the door for me, allowing me into the world. I feel wonderful, inside and out!”

*Results not typical. Typical weight loss on the Medifast Jump Start Plan is up to 2 to 5 lbs per week.
