Erin Wachtel - 6 months, 79 pounds lost
I am now 79 pounds lighter… just six and a half months after starting Medifast.
Medifast is the easiest plan to stick to if you have a busy work schedule! I’m a 22-year-old teacher and have been overweight all of my life and tried many diet plans.
Following college graduation I began to really buckle down and try to lose “on my own.” I lost about 30 lbs., but it came off slowly and I was still unhappy. Even after losing weight on my own, I still was 225 lbs. and a size 22 in November of 2005. I felt like I would never reach my goal of being 150 pounds and a size 8/10. I knew that I didn’t want to be overweight forever, and that I needed to change something in my life.
I was unhappy but didn’t know what to do.
A friend had tried Medifast and had wonderful success, so I decided to give it a try.
Being a first-year teacher I was a little nervous about trying a plan that would require me to eat 6 times a day.
I realized after planning my meals that it can be done. I did not “cheat” on this plan once! I found it easiest to stay on the plan rather than find ways around it.
During the school day I had Ready-to-Drink shakes, my lean and green meal, and a bar. Before school I had oatmeal for breakfast, and in the evening I had a shake and pudding or soup. My recipe for success was the following: five Medifast Meals, one lean and green meal, and commitment to the plan!
I am now 79 lbs. lighter and a size 6/8, just six and a half months after starting Medifast.
I am now a completely different person in so many ways.
Not only do I look different, but my self-esteem is much higher too. I now look forward to going out with my friends, shopping, and playing sports with my students.
I couldn’t be happier; thanks Medifast!
