My First Post!

Current Weight - 192lbs           Goal Weight - 130lbs

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!  Since it's my first post I'd like everyone to get to know me.  My name is Allie and I'm 23 and have been struggling with my weight since elementary school.

I have a short frame, 5'1"... and it doesn't help that I've ballooned to 192lbs!  Yes, you read that right, 192lbs!  What makes that worse is about 5 years ago I was down to my goal weight of 125lbs.  I had just broken up with a long time boyfriend and I wanted to stick it in his face that I could be good looking!  It was the motivation I needed to get down to my goal.  Well, after I got skinny I started a new job where I met my fiance, Scott.  Things went down hill from there!  Within a few months I was back to my high school weight of 156lbs.  30 extra pounds does not look good on this frame!

At the end of May last year, my family and I visited family in Italy.  Let me tell you, gaining 10 pounds in two weeks is not unheard of!  A short time after coming home I began taking medicine for my anxiety which has since made me gain more weight.  The result - 192lbs and two huge stretch marks on my belly!  AHHH!

So, I needed a change and desperately.  That's when my fiance suggested Medifast.  I mean sure, it scared me to think that I was big enough for a meal replacement program, but I literally have everything to lose!  As in, pounds that is!

About two weeks ago I ordered Medifast.  Of course the day I receive the package I get the flu!  102.7 fever for almost two days straight.  Not fun.  So, that set me back a few days, but I am now on my third day and let me tell you... I feel great.  I feel proud more than anything.  I've always said that I was going to diet and go to the gym, but I never stuck to it.  I'm practically done with day three and I see no quitting ahead!

Let me say this first - Medifast food isn't 5 star restaurant quality, but it is edible.  Here's the kicker - it's super convenient!  You can pack all your days worth of food in one ziploc baggy and be ready for the day!

Enough of my jib jab.  So, I am ready to share my Medifast Venture with you.  I hope you follow along with me... and maybe some of you will even join in!  I'm here to inspire, teach, and learn along with you.  Let the weight lose begin!
