It has been a long time since I have tried to lose weight. I have had three children, and somehow the weight I put on has just kept piling on. It just seems like I need to do something about it before I spiral out of control into the obese range. But I was just talking to my friend the other day, and she was telling me about the medifast diet. It seems like something I would be able to do, and feel great doing it. Especially if it does for me what it promises, which is help me lose 3-5 pounds a week.
