Thanks for the welcomes ladies!!!
And Monica thats cool that you remember me! I DID make the ornaments...well, copied another poster on here but yes that was me.
I'm so excited to join in here!! It's so much easier to keep pushing through when it gets hard when you have great support. The Medifast discussion boards are great, but I just haven't found a group that I really like.
And since someone asked, Medifast is a prepackaged diet, I guess is the best way to describe it. Its called 5 and 1, basically you get 5 Medifast meals a day, which you can choose from shakes, oatmeal, soups, bars, etc. And then one Lean and Green meal, obviously green veggies and a lean protein. You eat every 2-3 hours so its really easy. I've been on it 5 weeks today, and am at 25 pounds lost. That's one reason I was attracted to it, I have a good bit of weight I want to lose and it's fast. I only wish I had done this before my wedding, but it would have been far too stressful! And the diet has been researched and medically studied so I know it's very safe, thats the one thing that people have misconceptions about.
Anyway,I'm excited about getting to know everyone here better as well!
