In an economic climate where the common business news is bankruptcy and closings, one business is doing well enough to expand. Medifast, the popular weight loss brand, has plans to open ten of its weight loss centers in Florida and Texas, markets where the company is experiencing positive growth. They are continuing to examine markets where they might further grow their business in 2010.

Currently customers can visit Medifast in person at 19 franchise-owned locations and 20 corporate-owned locations. A new Tucson-based franchisee plans to open three locations during the next five years.

Kristy Swanson, who made her screen debut as Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, wed her boyfriend over the weekend, Lloyd Eisler, a former Olympic figure skater. The couple met while filming Fox’s Skating with Celebrities.

Kristy was a picturesque bride, in an ivory gown and her hair perfectly placed. She credits Medifast with helping her lose 45 pounds in time for the wedding. She also follows a regular exercise regimen that includes martial arts, jumping rope and running the treadmill.
