Ahh, to lose weight…it’s an ongoing problem that many people have, myself included. I joined this company about five years ago and I’ve probably been on a diet at least a dozen times. My colleagues have all been on diets usually around New Year’s time. We’ve even had bets to see who could lose the most weight. What is it about diets that fail? Is it our inability to control our indulgence? Is that piece of chocolate cake really worth the agony and pain of dieting?

There are many reasons why diets always seem to come and go. We live in America and here it’s all about excess and having plenty of things. I vacationed to Europe a few months ago and meals are literally 1/3 the size. On top of that, Europeans walk all over the place. It’s not about cars and being lazy. People walk here, there, and everywhere.

Losing weight is difficult but it’s more than achievable. I think people can do it themselves…even without paying for a diet plan. Really, you can. Just control your portions, exercise a little more, and see how it goes. I’m convinced you’ll lose a few pounds.

If you have to lose more than a few pounds, I’d consider a meal replacement program. These work wonders for those needing to lose more than 10 pounds. Nutrisystem is great…so are Medifast and eDiets Deliciously Yours. You really can’t go wrong with any of these.

I tip my hat off to those who have come here to lose weight. Half the battle is knowing that you need to change your eating habits, the other half of the battle is going through with it and joining a weight loss program of some sort.

Corrie Hannah Medifast Star Contest Winner!

I’ve tried a lot of different diets in the past, but none ever worked for me. I saw a commercial on TV about Medifast a few years ago but decided against it because I knew that it was strict. Well, something reminded me of the diet in the spring of this year because I looked it up on the internet and read up about it. I saw the other success stories and knew that the diet not only worked but also worked faster than any other diet plan on the market. So I decided to take the plunge.

After being on Medifast for 24 weeks, I lost 89 pounds!!! I think the reason I was able to stick with the plan is the fact that the weight came off every week and it kept me highly motivated. I never cheated once on this diet…I didn’t want to! I went from a size 22 to a size 10! Thanks to my weight loss, I am a different person on the outside as well as the inside.

My self-esteem has changed dramatically. I never wanted to go out with my friends because I felt so horrible about myself, but that has totally changed! I would definitely recommend Medifast to anyone. It worked for me and it could work for anyone that has the determination to change her life forever!
