Hi all! I'm new to this site. Just found it yesterday. I, like a lot of you, have been trying some diet or another almost my entire life. I'm 5'9", according to my doctor I should weight between 135 & 169. Currently I'm at 194. My first goal is to get to 170 and then from there I'd like to go to 155 and stay there. I tried the Atkins diet a couple of years ago and did really well on that, but, (there's alway a but) when I got to where I wanted to be I thought this is great and went back to my old eathing habits (first mistake). I put everything back on and more.

I went to see my doctor yesterday who suggested that I try Medifast for a while and see how I do on that and when I get to my goal weight he will teach me how to eat post Medifast. He said he did it himself for a while and did really well on it and has been able to keep his weight off afterwards. I started it yesterday. Ofcourse this is only my second day but as of yet I have not been hungry, **crossing fingers**, so I'm real hopeful.

Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself and say I have enjoyed the website thus far. Have a great day!

You will find that everyone on here is a GREAT supportive and encouraging bunch!
Good luck on your journey!!!!
