“I struggled with my weight for 17 years. My doctor explained what I was headed for: diabetes, heart disease, chronic fatigue, and death. It seemed to me that the only foolproof plan was surgery.

“Then I found Medifast. It was going to be my last shot before surgery. The staff at the Medifast Weight Control Center explained everything to me and encouraged me. I believed I could do it.

“For me, there is no substitute for the accountability in the Medifast Weight Control Centers Program; it helped me stay true to myself. The first week I lost 17 lbs. For the first time, something looked like it was really going to work. Then the second week, I lost 12 more.

“There is not a 400-lb guy out there who hasn’t tried to lose weight in one way or another. We have all read the books and know more than anyone about calories, carbs, proteins, etc.

“But Medifast has not just helped me lose weight, it has taught me much more than I ever knew about how my body breaks down food and the elements of balanced diet above and beyond simple calorie and portion control. I believe that is an essential element when it comes to maintaining my weight loss.

“I lost a total of 201 lbs, and beat all my medical problems associated with being overweight. My blood pressure is on average around 110 over 65 or so. There are also the benefits of less sore knees, back, and ankles. I sleep better, and for longer. I dress better, I play more and longer with the kids, and I am fully engaged in every detail of life. I no longer watch life go by from the couch.

“Thanks to Medifast, I have my life back. Not just for me, but also for those I love and care about. I know I will live long enough to keep the promises I made to my children and my wife. Medifast saved my life, and it is easier than you think.”
