Ms. Readytobehealthy

I am getting pretty motivated and am thinking about doing medifast. I did it a few years ago and lost 115 pounds in 6 months. The problems was I didn't keep off the weight (I'm sure you hear me here). So if I could do medifast for 6-12 months prior to surgery I could possibly lose 100-200 pounds and would only have about 100-150 more to go. I think I may do it...as I am ready.
I am lucky in my work place in that I am the favorite of the employees and I am as far as I can go. The bad thing is the rest of the employees exclude me from things and I was telling DH that I think it is both due to my weight and the my position within the company. Whatever! Right?! All that matters is that I am happy and healthy!

I hear ya girl! I am in total isolation. I don't go anywhere for fear I won't fit in the chair. I also don't go because I feel like I don't fit in and everyone stares at me. I hate it! I'm so ready for a change. DH and I got in a argument tonight about weight.... UGGHHH!!! I want to be healthy. I think I may just start my own program now... that is how fed up I am. I don't want to wait to have the surgery I need to do something now!

Sounds good. I was reading the July Staplers messages and was very helpful in knowing what to expect once I get into it. Definitely not easy but I think the further from the surgery day the easier it gets (so it sounds). I am going to take in everyone's ideas and suggestions and try it to see what fits for me. I wish the surgery was today for me as I'm ready but it look like I have about a year to wait! BLAH! You will probably be at your goal when I'm having surgery. Imagine that! Keep up the good work and positive attitude!

I agreewith mburgs... I wanna see more post-op pics. I hear and read about your success now I want to see it girl. Show us your hard work!

My 5month surigversary was just on 11/16!!!! ;-) I have a LONG time til my 1year!

Do I get more pictures now?

That is so incredibly amaazing! Congratulations!!!

That's awesome, I know you can do it!!!

I commend you for being totally honest about your journey. I know it is going to be a struggle but I'm prepared to face that battle. I know the tool (surgery) is a great tool and I will remember it is just a tool that I will have to do all of the footwork (exercise, healthy, healthy mind). Thank you for sharing!
