^*The success stories depicted in this section are representative of these individuals only and do not represent all OPTIFAST patients. The typical OPTIFAST patient loses 52 pounds in 22 weeks. For many dieters, weight loss is only temporary. For more information, please see the "Weight Loss and You" section of this website.

"I had a weight problem for as long as I can remember. Being overweight was always an issue - it's always been a struggle. I tried all different products, different programs and nothing ever worked for me. I was about to give up, my self esteem was low and I was beginning to convince myself that maybe that's just the way I am.

Thankfully, my doctor introduced me to the OPTIFAST program because he said my eating and lifestyle was the problem. I started the program, stayed focused and it worked, I lost 16 lbs in the first week! For me the OPTIFAST program was easy. I didn't have to stop and buy something to eat, count calories or obsess about food. I had all my vitamins and nutrition, I was not hungry and I felt great. Each week the weight kept coming off. I have lost 150 lbs and am still counting! I feel better than I ever have and am doing things I never thought I could do.

My life now is full of activity and I have the confidence to do things I never would have done before. Before OPTIFAST, I wanted to travel but I couldn't. Actually I could but I had that fear of being in a plane seat. Recently, I took a flight to New York for the first time and getting inside that plane seat and going through those aisles, like a normal person, it was just a great feeling. That's something I would never have done before - and now I'm doing it!

My family was extremely supportive and after the program I met my fiancé. My daily life now includes the gym and other activities. If it wasn't for the OPTIFAST program, I know I would still be obese. OPTIFAST saved my life."
