Why Medifast? Because it's fast and it works

We have reached the point in our weight loss journey where people are beginning to notice our smaller figures.  Even with some weight gain during our recent trips, we've managed to still maintain much of our success and I'm looking forward to getting back on track this week.

A few people have asked why we decided to go with Medifast instead of some of the other weight loss programs out there.  After all, we've tried Weight Watchers, South Beach, Nutrisystem, The Soy Zone, Lindora, and probably some more I can't even remember right now.  Looking back, here is what I see are the main reasons this is working out for us better that what we've tried in the past.

First of all, I like the simplicity.  I don't have to count points or go to meetings.  The most complicated meal I have to deal with is a turkey burger and a salad.  The shakes mix up fast and easy, and the same for the puddings, oatmeal and soups.  With two little kids underfoot and two businesses to run, anything that says "simple" gets my attention.

Second, I like the fast results.  1-2 pounds a week is great, but personally, I'll pick the 2-5 pounds/week option.  All diets are a struggle, and all growth involves some discomfort.  So I like the fact that I'm losing twice as fast as most dieters, using a medically safe method.

Also...well, let's see....chocolate shakes, chocolate pudding, chocolate bars, and hot cocoa.  'Nuff said.

When it all is said and done, Medifast is quick, simple, and effective.  It works for us, pure and simple.

Who is Bubba? A Fast Weight Loss Motivator

So, you've no doubt noticed our slogan up there and are wondering just who bubba is anyway.  Well, put simply, Bubba is an idea we had that put a face to the weight loss issue that we've struggled with for years.  We invented Bubba to help us lose weight fast.

 Bubba was born during a drive to Chicago.  Well, not literally, but during a drive in a snowstorm south to Chicago, Darcy and I were talking about losing weight and the struggle we had in the past.  This was just after we started talking the supplements featured on My Natural Supplements, so we were excited to be on the road to success. 

It occurred to us that when we reach our goals, we would have lost over 200 pounds together.  One of us said, "That's a whole other person!"  We realized that the weight we've gained over the years was like a third person in our marriage.  Now, that was an eye opener! We took to calling this third person Bubba.  We had the idea of publicizing our success with the Medifast fast weight loss diet and the Biolean weight loss system by telling stories about how Bubba is losing weight.  "Kill Bubba" became a slogan for a time, but we figured that we might offend a real Bubba or start getting calls asking if someone can donate to save a person who is wasting away. 

We never did come up with a decent picture for Bubba.  We asked our brother-in-law for a sketch, but he kept coming up with something that looked disturbingly like Darcy's dad.  So, we're going with the graphic on top of the page and we're finally, Losing Bubba!
