My name is Sandy Jameson and like so many
people, I spent months desperately trying to lose weight. I never used
to have issue with it at all because I regularly swam, cycled and was
generally very active.
However, in January 2008, after being a work
at home mom for so many years (with quite a lot of time on my hands!) I
started working for a local charity. Even though I enjoyed it, the
problem was that between the kids and volunteering, I didn't have any
time to keep myself slim anymore.
The
Inevitable Started To Happen...
I slowly began to gain weight and due to lack
of exercise and stress eating, I gradually put on 25 pounds over the
course of 8 weeks and things didn't get any better from there.
After a few months the work eased off
slightly and I actually did have the chance to start swimming
again, which I hoped would help me lose a little weight. However, after
trying on my old swim suit and standing in front of the mirror as a
'confidence test', what I discovered was horrific. I looked repulsive.
My belly fat was hanging out and my thighs looked enormous. 'Thunder
Thighs' I named myself!
That was the point when I realized I had
to do something about it; and by means that avoided exercise
at all costs!

Tried Hoodia & Failed...
At the time, Hoodia was the 'in thing' to do
and after speaking to three of my friends who had had moderate success
with it, I decided to give it a go.
At first it worked out reasonably well and I
began to lose a few pounds each week; and although that wasn't exactly
something to get too excited about, at least it was a start. And any
'start' was good!

However, after a few weeks, things began to
go downhill. One of the major issues was that I was spending so much
money on Hoodia pills. I was going back to their website what
seemed like every two minutes to purchase yet more bottles
because it seemed I needed up to 2500mg per day for it to have any real
effect.
This was the point where I
realized I had to stop.
I
Then Tried The Atkins Diet But Was Forced To Give It Up...
After only 14 days on the Atkins Diet I began
to feel unhealthy and extremely ill presumably because of the high
levels of protein that I was consuming. Even with no medical expertise
at all, I recognized that my digestive system was running into problems
and for some reason the diet was also bringing on terrible
migraines.
The most worrying thing of all though was
that in the short time that I was following it, my cholesterol had
skyrocketed and after getting a friendly warning from my doctor, and
deciding that the pain and suffering I was experiencing wasn't worth it
compared to the amount of weight I was losing, I quit.
I then tried a range of low fat diets
plans such as the Scarsdale and Lemonade diet but because the suggested
calorie intake was almost ridiculously low, I became incredibly weak
and felt like I was going to fall over all the time. I soon realized
that if I was actually going to lose weight and keep it off for any
length of time, it just wasn't realistic.
Eventually,
I found something that worked...
Having spent so much time, money and energy
desperately trying to succeed with diets and plans that in the end had
very little effect on my weight was a big regret. However, it all
changed with the next diet I tried called Medifast.
Personally, I had never heard of it before
and due to my recent experiences, I was initially a little dubious.
However, after reading some extremely complimentary reviews and
learning that the cost was very low compared to some of the others I
was considering, I decided to give it a shot.
What seemed to be so different with this
program was that a major consideration was not only weight loss but
also health. I learned some astonishing reasons why 97% of diets will
always fail overtime and how they can make you seriously ill.
More importantly, however, I
discovered how to make your diet work with your daily
routine
and also how to manipulate your metabolism into successfully shedding
the pounds by eating more that 3 meals each day.
Here's
why I recommend it...
The reason why I would recommend Medifast to
anyone is because I've been following their plan for 28 days
now and the results have been almost unbelievable.
Although I haven't lost weight as fast as is
claimed on the website, I have managed to
drop 20 lbs in just under a month; and I'm sure you'll agree that is
pretty astonishing, especially when you consider I haven't had
to alter my lifestyle in anyway - even with the kids.
Both my excess belly and thigh fat have gone
a long way to disappearing and I'm almost at the stage of being
able to get back into my dreaded swimsuit again!
In my opinion, this is way
more superior and far more effective than any of these other diets I
tried. Obviously, different things work for different people but it has
worked extremely well for me and the genial part is you simply
eat prepared gourmet tasting food that is delivered right to your front
door. They tell you
what to eat. You eat it - and you lose weight! What could be simpler?
You certainly don't have to spend hours trying to prepare special foods
yourself from a complicated cookbook which
was expensive and a real pain, especially when you are trying to
prepare dinner for your family as well.
Anyway, I hope you've found this information
useful whatever your situation because if I had known about Medifast a
few months back, I would have lost my excess baby weight ages ago without
wasting my time and money with everything else. Anyway, I wish you
every success!
Sincerely,
Sandy Jameson
