HI There

Just wanted to say hello to you all. It has been awhile. Mostly because I couldnt remember my log in stuff so I ended up creating a new profile. I had my first appointment with Dr. Lirio on Feb 14,2006. I started Medifast 2 weeks later and am now down 66 pounds I dont have a date however they did get approval so it looks like hopefully by the end of May!!!!! The medifast isnt as bad as I thought all though it gets gross from time to time and I feel like LOL its all good. Hope everyone is living outloud!!! Love, B-Love

First of all congrats on the weight loss already that is great. I will keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer that you get your approval and surgery date soon. LisaMarie

Becca, Wow ! 66lbs. Awesome ! Congrats ! The weight is just flying right off of you ! I am right there with you on the Medifast ! It does get to be a little sickening after a while ! It really does the trick though , doesn't it ? You and I have the same surgeon so if you have any questions or just want to chat drop me an email ! Congrats ! You are doing awesome ! and , carol

Hi Carol, Thanks for the encouragement.. You are doing well also congrats!!!! I have found many ways to doctor the medifast.... Like for example i use the bananna extract with the chocolate and it tastes great. I use other extracts too like cherry. But Carol I have to say hate the vanilla flavored shakes, i gag and throw up everythime i smell one of them... what flavor are you fond of? I think I saw you one day at the office. Big waiting room chairs huh? comfy too.... In the past I have read your weightloss journey pages, when you spoke of the trouble you were having with your daughter. hope all is better now. Im so excited for you and will pray for you. If u ever get discoraged and need a friend just let me know ok? As far as loseing 66 pounds well i managed to do that while eating the one meal at night.. I feel so wonderful I get around so much better.. Take care and smile Ill be thinking of you when you have your surgery.... Becca

Hi Becca! I wonder if Optifast is like Medifast. I drank Optifast in high school, was on a program and it was pretty good to me. Congrats on your weight loss, and good luck with everything
