Some people want to lose weight so they can wear skinny jeans, lose their beer gut, or look good at their class reunion. But Christina Roberto had a more compelling reason: She wanted to get healthy so she could be present in her children’s lives.
That’s what brought her to Medifast Weight Control Centers, where she lost 120 lbs. She’s kept the weight off for ten months now, and is looking forward to a healthi-er—and perhaps even longer—life.
“Ever since giving birth to my first son, I’d been struggling with my weight. I got up to 266 lbs and felt so unhealthy! I knew it was time to change my life or I wasn’t go-ing to be around to see my kids grow up,” Christina says.
“Before I got healthy, I couldn’t even run one block. Now, I am an avid runner and run over 20 miles a week and recently ran a half marathon in November!”
Everyone has heard about the obesity epidemic. Inexpensive, calorie-rich food is everywhere, and so are diets that promise a solution. But 85% of people who lose weight on diets gain it back—often with additional pounds.
The program at Medifast Weight Control Centers is not a diet, but a comprehensive program combining doctor-recommended meal replacements (Medifast Meals) with the Jump Start Plan, which is clinically proven to help Clients lose up to 2 to 5 lbs a week.
The personal touch is a major benefit. Clients meet weekly, one-on-one, with a specially trained counselor, who provides personalized menus and meal plans, and individual support on potential challenges and how to surmount them.
With help from the counselors, Clients learn to navigate restaurants, parties, and social events while staying in line with their health goals. They master portion control, develop healthy exercise routines, and most important of all, learn the skills neces-sary for sustaining a healthy weight for life.
It worked for Christina. “The support I received from the Medifast Weight Control Centers staff was amazing,” she says. “I never felt judged—they truly wanted to see me succeed, and did everything in their power to see that I did.
“I could never have done it without them.”
For more information and to find a center near you, call 1-888-Y-MEDIFAST or go online at www.MedifastDallas.com.
* In a recent study, those who followed the Medifast Jump Start Plan for 16 weeks lost twice as much weight as those who fol-lowed a food-based isocaloric meal plan.
** Individual results will vary; typical weight loss up to 2 to 5 lbs per week; see Center for details.

Finding that perfect gift for someone can be exhausting, and sometimes seem im-possible. On the other hand, you could skip the crowded malls and excruciating online searches, and go for something your recipi-ent will recognize right away as something that comes straight from the heart. How? Make the gift yourself.
As Americans are starting to realize that holiday spending doesn’t always equal holiday joy, more people are choosing handmade gifts as a way to show their appreciation for the recipient. Whether you are an expert knitter, a talented painter or even a novice crafter, handmade gifts show that you spent the time to make some-thing special for someone.
Here are five tips to help you if you choose to go the handmade route this season:
* Consider your recipient’s interests. If your aunt is a chef, consider knitting her a pair of oven mitts or hot pads. Or maybe you would like to make a blanket for your nephew featuring the colors of his favorite sports team. If you thought making your own gifts added a personal touch, incorpo-rating something your recipient likes will put your gift over the top.
* Know your talents. While the rest of the year is a great time to experiment with different artistic mediums, do what you know best at the holiday season, whether it be painting or sewing. However, even if you don’t consider yourself an expert, you should still give making handmade gifts a shot, as it can also be good motivation to hone your skills.
* Keep your ambitions in line with reality. If you haven’t done it before, it might not be the best time to try knitting 30 tea cozies for all the PTA members. Making modest gift goals will help make your experience enjoyable, as opposed to stressful.
* Consider comfort. Another way to make sure your crafting sessions remain enjoy-able is to make sure you’re comfortable when doing it. Products like crafting gloves, elbow rests and wrist support wraps, which are all offered at craft stores by Creative Comfort, can help take the aches and pains out of crafting sessions.
* Safety first. Creative Comfort sewing and quilting tools can also help alleviate pain and reduce the risk of injury, but you should also be sure follow basic safety pro-tocol. Keep sharp or harmful objects out of reach from children and follow instruc-tions when operating or cleaning sewing machines or other crafting devices.
Another great thing about handcrafted items is that useful items like blankets or towels last a long time, which will remind your recipient of the gift for years to come. If you haven’t given thought to making your own gifts, perhaps this should be the year you try.
