I am starting my third week on Medifast and so far I’ve seen about 13 pounds go bye-bye. I’m really pleased with the way it’s working, my rings are already starting to loosen up. (I can’t wait until I can wear my wedding ring again!)
I used Medifast in High School over one summer and slimed down a little, both my Mother and my best friend continued to use it and both got extremely skinny. Unfortunately both of them have regained it because they didn’t stick with it, but this was 15 years ago, and they kept most of it off for quite a while. I’d completely forgotten about Medifast until an acquaintance mentioned he’d lost a lot of weight with it, and DING! I remembered the only diet I’ve ever been moderately successful with.
I started looking into Medifast and WOW! Look at all the choices available now! My first order had only shakes in it, because I didn’t realize all the “food” could be used with the fasting plan. I thought it was all for maintenance. (Yes, I know it says everywhere that you can, but I didn’t believe it.) My first 3 days were actually easier than I remember and getting down that 6th shake of the day is just as hard. Luckily with the “new” rules I don’t have to get that 6th shake in if I don’t want to. When I was on it before the only extras you could have was bullion and jello. Everytime I eat a pickle or a celery, or OMG a SALAD! I feel like I’m cheating. But it’s good in the end, because I get rid of my cheating craving without doing any damage to my diet.
I’ve just received an order with food in it, the bars, crackers, soups, pudding, oatmeal and hot cocoa. I tried the soup last night, and the oatmeal this morning. What is it about Medifast stuff and being hot? I’m following the directions and it tastes like …. Well, nothing good. The bars are divine, almost too good. Yesterday after having my first bar was the only time I’ve really, really had to fight my natural ability to wolf down a box of meal bars a day.
I hope it will get easier, if it doesn’t, then I’ll just have to exclude them from my next orders.
So there’s my history. My current is that I’m 34, female, married, 3 kids (13m/7g/4g), 1 dog and 1 cat. My family is supportive of my diet, though my 7 year old doesn’t quite get the idea and is constantly offering me a cookie or chip, or some other tidbit I used to eat. They don’t really tempt me, so I just take it and give her a hug and tell her I appreciate it. I’m 5’0 and started out at 253ish. I’m now just below 240ish (All these ish’s just mean I need a better scale.) I haven’t really decided what my goal is. I want to get down to 150 and then re-evaluate. If I keep going then my next stop is 125, and last stop is 100. It really just depends on what I look like at each stop. It’s been YEARS since I was 150, and 150 looks good to me now, but I’m not sure if that’s because I’m so big now that any reduction looks good. 125 is losing half of my start weight, and puts me in the upper ends of my height/weight curve. 100 is my ideal for my height.
So now you know all there is to know about me.. right? (Or at least with how long this ended up being, you should!)
