So, my dad has been doing Medifast/TSFL for about 5-6 weeks now, and I'm so impressed. I'm proud of him for sticking to it, too! He has been very diligent and denied a lot of temptations in order to have the great success he's been having.
The shocker: He has gone from being 356 lbs to 274 lbs! That is flat-out amazing and I'm so happy that he is getting healthier. I love seeing that he can get around so much better and frankly I love the idea that he will be able to do more things with us and hopefully live a lot longer. He has been pretty sick over the past few years...a heart attack followed by open-heart surgery, a stroke, kidney problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. etc. You name it...if it goes along with being overweight or obese he was probably struggling with it. In just over a month, he has been able to go off of his insulin shots completely and also reduce his other medications by significant amounts! I'm so happy for him!
Frankly, I'm happy for myself too. For the last few years I've been waiting for and fearing that phone call that said he was dead/dying. I knew he wasn't healthy and he certainly didn't look well. I just expected that I would see my dad die soon.
I'm so grateful for this program and how it is helping our family.
My mom just started a week ago too...I look forward to seeing how it works for her! After YEARS (yes, probably more than a decade) of Weight Watchers and up-and-down dieting...she's giving this a try and I'm proud of her too. I really hope and pray that it works well for her!
