Client Success Stories

Cheryl lost 134 lbs!

"My physician beamed as she told me the news..."

When I started on Take Shape For Life I weighed 260 pounds. I wore a size 24, and had hit the threshold for diabetes. Due to my weight, I was on medication for cholesterol and gastric reflux. My back hurt, and I felt old. I was afraid that I wouldn't be around to watch my four little grandchildren grow up.

I had spent two decades on a variety of diets. I fought hunger all the time and felt deprived. It didn't take much to throw me off the diet, and I quickly regained all of the weight - plus.

I decided to try Take Shape For Life for one month to see if it would work for me. I liked the fact that the Medifast Meals were pre-packaged, because I was tired of counting calories and carbs. I was impressed that this was a nutritionally complete program, and I liked knowing that there was a well-planned, systematic transition and maintenance program designed to help me keep the weight off. I didn't feel hungry. It was at this point that I began to think that maybe, just maybe, this was really IT for me.

After losing the weight, my physician beamed as she informed me that due to my weight loss and new healthy lifestyle, I was no longer diabetic! Also, now that I've lost weight and am living a healthier lifestyle , my cholesterol is good without medication, and my elevated blood pressure has returned to normal. My back no longer hurts all the time, and I have SO much more energy!
