At My Goal

Hello to you all,

Well here I am, I reached my goal, lost my 30 lbs and I am feeling great! I feel great both physically and emotionally. I am maintaining my weight very well and I am still undecided on going on the maintenance program just yet. I am thinking or feeling that maybe 5 less pounds is where I would really like to be. Maybe I should have gone for loosing 35 pounds? I am going to talk to my doctor and see what he thinks and says and then go from there. I think that making that decision on my own would be irresponsible on my part. So for me it is important to be in touch with my physician and to use the online counseling and help when getting to my goal weight and then some. I will keep you informed as to what happens for sure.

My Mother is doing fantastic with her weight as well. She could not be happier with Medifast being a part of her life. I am so glad it worked out for her and she is healthier for it. She’s got a big birthday coming up and I want her around for more big birthdays to come, Medifast is for sure helping our family out with her good health.

I hope you all are working hard at achieving your goal and having fun doing it. If you are new here then I hope that you will consider giving it a really good try. It can change your life in SO many ways, all for the healthier and the better all around. It did for me and it did for my Mother.

I will keep in touch about what is going on with me.

I have done it! I am a size 4!!!

Hahahahahahaha……Oh my Gosh, I am SO excited!

I have done it! I am a size 4!!! And have lost 28 pounds!!! YAY!!!

Today I was in my closet grabbing some outfits and packing for my trip to the National Figure Skating Championships in Minnesota. Burrrrrrrrr!!!!! Anyway, I saw a few things that I have not worn in a long time and thought I would try them on. I tried on about 5 pairs of my skinny jeans that I have not worn in over a year and they fit perfect!! I put on a black dress of mine that I absolutely love and it fit and it’s a size 4!! I reached my goal friends! And you can too! Now I just have to keep it steady and get on the maintenance program.

One way of doing that is to think ahead. I am off to Minnesota Thursday. I can not load my luggage with drinks, so I had a case of Ready-to-Drinks sent right to my hotel. It’s so easy! That will keep me on my plan for sure! Always think ahead!

I have been very focused since the New Year and working very hard at my goal. It really isn’t that hard to do when you get going, it’s easy to fall into a routine and you can be fun.

I must go and finish packing…..I am so happy I can’t stand it! Yay! SIZE 4!!!

Hello 2008!

Hello 2008!

I don’t know about you, but I am holiday’d out! Don’t get me wrong I had a wonderful holiday with my family and extended family absolutely wonderful - I am just kinda glad to get on with the NEW YEAR!

I am sure for many of you the holidays were a bit rough on our Medifast Program. I know for me it was hard to manage at times. When we went out to eat all was good. I could order my Lean & Green no problem. But when you are having dinner at someone’s house and you don’t have control or say on the menu, you have to get creative. LOL! I don’t eat turkey ever and found myself eating it on Christmas because it was the only meat being served and I gotta tell ya, it was really quite good! Might try it again sometime. I also had the Ready Made Shakes shipped out to me in Tennessee where I spent Christmas. That made my life A LOT easier to have them on hand.

Oh my gosh! Here was the BEST part, for New Years we did the San Diego Zoo one day, then Sea World the next and Lego Land the last day! Three Parks in three Day’s with three Children 3 years old and under. Talk about a trip! FUN! And all the junk food everywhere! Again I say, thank God for those Ready Made Shakes! I just threw them in my stroller everyday and away we went.

I feel like I have been so out of touch with you guys since the holidays started. I got SO busy and lots of travel it was hard to keep in touch. I am glad we are back on track and away from all of the holiday temptations. Moving on!

So I got home and weighed myself and found I had gone up 3 pounds. Bummer! Guess that bite of stuffing and the couple of fries I gladly took off Lloyd’s plate and a piece of my Birthday cake did me in on the 3 pounds. That’s OK. Since I have been home the last 2 days and into my normal routine I have already lost those 3 pounds. It was only 3 pounds - nothing to freak out about. But now, I still have a bit more to lose I feel. Although I love the way I am looking and I feel really great I could stand to loose maybe 10 more pounds. I am sure the holiday rush set me off a bit, there is no doubt. I did forget and skip some meals in all the rush. But I am back with a vengeance!!!

I will check back with you in a week and let you know how I have done! And for those of you who really fell of track over the holidays, don’t be discouraged at all. Pick back up and keep on going. You have made progress! Be proud of yourself for being on this program and making Medifast a part of your lifestyle.

Busy But Feeling GREAT!

Greetings to my Medifast supporters!

Well it has been quite the week! I went through a move. Not a little move, but a big one. It has been very exhausting! I did well though! I had my Ready-To-Drink Shakes with me the whole time. It helped a ton too! I packed a diaper bag for Magnus to go for the day and packed all my shakes in my own bag! I am glad I did too because otherwise I would have been stranded! They are a great thing to have when you know you will not be home or near a kitchen.

I am feeling so good right now, I just feel healthy and good. I love that I don’[t have to worry about food or or when I am going to eat, etc. My life is so easy now.

My Uncle Paul has now started Medifast. I can not wait to see his results! He has a lot to lose and I am sure it is going to just fall off of him and I will be so happy! He needs to lose the weight for his health first! It is great to have my Mom on it and now my Uncle. I also have two girlfriends on it Jarri and April. I am glad to know they are doing great!

I am happy to tell you that I now weigh in the 130’s! it is SO exciting! About 10 more to go! They say that the last 10 are the hardest. LOL. Don’t know if that is true or not. We will see. It’s funny cause I can see such a major difference in me and my body from the time I started to now. It is amazing!!

I hope you all are doing well and I hope you all got a Medifast HealthMate Blender! It is amazing I love it SO much! Get one if you don’t have it already! A very good purchase!

I love Medifast, I love you guys and I love our results! We are doing GREAT!!!

FYI - try a little cinnamon on top of your vanilla pudding. Love it!

The Weight’s Coming Off For Me and Mom

Hello everyone! I hope all is going well for you as we all lose weight together! :D

Thanks to Medifast, I’ve now lost 16 pounds and I am SO HAPPY!!! I’m so tempted to run out today and buy some new clothes but I’m going to stop myself from doing that. I am SO close right now to fitting into my (what I call) skinnier clothes and I think I should wait before buying anything new.

This is just so exciting! The weight just keeps coming off every week and I’m not even training real hard in the gym or anything! I can’t wait to be officially 20 pounds lighter!

I just got off the phone with my Mom and she told me that she has now lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks. That is fantastic! I am very proud of her. I know she can do this. . . Piece of cake! Maybe I should NOT mention cake? LOL hahahahahaha.

Good for my Mom and good for me! So far we have both lost 24 pounds altogether!

Keep on going, we can all do this together!

Mama Swanson On Board!

It’s been another crazy week, but I’m happy to announce that I’m now down a total of 11 pounds. Good news for me, but even better because my mom (Rosemary) is so excited about my progress that I’ve recruited her to sign up for Medifast as well.

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of having her visit and we got to do a photo shoot together, and I gotta tell you it was SO much fun! My Mother is a riot, she makes me laugh so much. She was such a natural at the photo shoot. She got to have her hair and make-up done, and she looked so beautiful. I can’t wait for you all to see the pictures. Hopefully we’ll get them up soon. The other upside was that she got to spend a little quality time with Magnus, which is great to watch.

I believe she has about 20 pounds to lose. I wish her luck and it’s really great because now I can help her through it. It’s great to be able to support one another. I will let you all know how it is going!

Making Progress

What’s up Medifasters? I’ve been real busy since I last logged in with a journal. I had a commercial shoot for Medifast last week, which was so much fun. Although I think the most exciting part was when I was trying on clothes for the shoot—I was somewhere between a size 8-10! Definitely haven’t been there since before little Magnus came along! :)

The shoot was great, we would tape for an hour or so, and then I would quickly down a Ready-to-Drink Shake, do an interview or two, and then go back to taping the commercial. The Medifast Meals fit perfectly into the schedule, and it just feels good to know that I can fit Medifast into any crazy day that might be going on in my life. As you all know, that’s really important when attempting to lose weight while being a new mother and on a busy schedule.

I also went out to dinner last week with Genie Francis and some of the Medifast people. It was a lot of fun, discussing our progress and just getting a little support from someone going through the same thing. We both had our Lean & Green Meal at dinner, and I don’t know about Genie, but I didn’t feel for a second that I was missing out on any food.

Here’s a funny story for you. Genie and I actually met when we were kids. I was doing some work on the same set as General Hospital and we both had to attend classes and we were in the same class. She was already a celebrity for her work on General Hospital, and I was just a little kid starting out, so I definitely remembered meeting her. Now we’re working together on losing weight with Medifast, very funny!

Well, until next time, stay focused and committed. We can do this if we stick together and keep our eye on the prize.
