Thank you so much. i am now at the 6 week mark and down 30 lbs. its been an incredible journey !!! i am sooo happy to hear that you have had success it makes me that much more determined knowing that it really is life changing.. :)

You are doing so well, Nicole! I hope the holidays weren't too difficult on the Optifast.

I did the Optifast 900 program last summer and it completely changed my life; without question it was the best thing I've ever done. I wish you all the best.

3 weeks in and 16 lbs down. The commitment you need is amazing but when you start to see the difference its worth it. :)

So this wasnt as horrible as i had anticipated. I love food. i was loving food a little too much. before my son i weighed 145 lbs and now my son is 5 years old and i have gone up to 254 lbs.. It was time to make a change. my doctor recommeded opti fast non surgical 26 week program. So far on day 4 i wont weigh myself until I do my weekly appointment but after 4 days i already feel a big difference. I am less tired and have more energy. i figured i would be in tears. THe first day was the hardest as i didnt like the taste of the shakes. i am not getting adjusted and i have not cheated which i feel is a huge accomplisment for me. Will see how it goes at my first appointment thursday.

No, when fat cells die or are removed the body just sends the stored calories to other cells. At best you might have a small temporary weight loss.
