I'm 23 and was recently married to my wonderful and supportive husband. I live in California and I love it! I have battled my weight and size since puberty and a little less than two months ago, I decided, with the support of my husband, to start Medifast. I want to lose 48 lbs total and I have already lost over twelve. This is the first time in my life that I have lost weight and had a diet work for me. I am encouraged by my family and friends to keep going and not give up. I want to encourage you all to do the same. It's worth it, it is so worth it!:) Good Luck!!
