I’ve been following your story and Julie’s. You guys are amazing. I’m sorry to hear about your Dad. It is very hard watching loved struggle with weight issue, knowing that there is something that can be done if they want it. I was in the same situation myself with my husband, not since we were dating 14 years ago have I seen my husband’s true weight 200. He has gained up to his highest ever at 290. My husband works for the Hospitality industry as well and I know how crazy the hours can be. My husband’s stress levels were sooo bad from work that I was concerned he was headed for a heart attack. So we started on Medifast June 7, 2007 and I’m down 8-lbs and my Husband is down 20. We are so excited about this diet. He wants to lose 90 total and I would like to lose 50 definitely but 60 would be hot. I have a mother who actually did the diet back in the 80’s when it was just liquid and she lost fast, but over the years without any real committment to any form of diet she eventually gained weight. Hopefully she will want to try it again, when she sees my success. I hope you and your loved ones stay healthy. I will keep you up to date on my progress.
