On the internet these days, there is nothing more powerful than a personal story.  This is the era of MySpace and YouTube, where we expect to connect to the online universe in a deeper, more sincere way.  And what better way than to share a long and windy, but, God willing, ultimately successful, road of weight loss?  So here I am, to stand with the millions of others on this road, to share the ups and downs, the ins and outs. 

You'll see in earlier posts the occasional nod to weight loss, but I was never really serious about it.  However, I do know that people are reading the blog, and many are looking for whether or not Medifast works.  I can tell you by personal experience that it works, but if you are not careful, you will rebound in a depressing way. 

Medifast is designed for fast weight loss, but you have to be serious, since just bouncing on and off it is not a good idea.  Your body adjusts to fewer calories and you lose weight (and it's fat because the plan is balanced), but if you don't transition off it well, you can pile with weight back on. 

So if you are serious about it, look at the inspirational success stories, read the official blogs, and join us!  The support on the official site is great, and the personal portal to track your journey is priceless.  As for me, I'll continue to post here as the journey, for the last time, progresses towards victory!
