The more people are aware of how “FAT” our country is, the sooner we can start doing something about it. What is even sadder is that as the weight of the people increases the cost of caring for the diseases associated with obesity will also rise. What we need is more awareness but we also need to lobby our state and federal elected officials to make it easier for people who are unable to afford programs like Medifast to get the help they need. I am providing a link I found at the Center for Disease Control that shows just how critical it is that our nation takes a real hard look at what obesity will cost us physically and monetarily if we don’t do something soon.

Thank you Kristy for your concern and hopefully more people will become concerned and make it an issue with our local, state, and federal governments.

I am so happy for you Kristy. It’s so amazing to see how much success you’ve had! I did Medifast a little over a year ago and was amazed at how fast it was and how great I felt. Now I use Medifast everyday to maintain my weight. I just love their bars and shakes!! I became a Health Advisor and am now sharing the fantastic news with everyone I know, and help coach them through their journey to health. I just can’t wait until we see the number of overweight and obese people begin to decrease. Not only will the cost of disease control go down but also everyone will be getting healthier and that’s exciting news. Keep up the fantastic work!
