Client Success Stories

Russ lost 80 lbs!

I'm back to what I weighed in high school, and have more energy than ever!

After 35 years in the restaurant industry, I'd gained over 70 lbs, with no end in sight. I wasn't happy, and it showed in the way I dealt with people at work and at home.

I buried myself in work as if to hide, which caused real problems with my marriage and my relationship with my children. I did not feel like I had time for friends or vacations or get-togethers. My life was just going through the motions; I was hardly surviving, and my weight-related blood pressure was going up. I needed to do something before I had a heart attack.

One day I ran into my friend Wanda Thompson who was a new Health Coach for Take Shape For Life, and got to talking about how the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan had changed her life. I'd heard about Medifast from my physician, so I eagerly signed up.

I lost 60 lbs in 16 weeks*, and began to follow the Take Shape for Life Maintenance Plan. My family was absolutely thrilled to see me lose weight and get healthy. I could not believe the results and how good I felt about myself.

Now I enjoy helping others as a Certified Take Shape For Life Health Coach. I am a lot more physically active, and can run and play with the dogs or play 18 holes of golf without feeling tired!

*Results not typical.
Typical weight loss on the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan is up to 2 to 5 lbs per week.
