Yahoo...I just completed my first three days!! We are going to the lake tomorrow, so I am getting all my shakes ready to go. I am also going on a trip for 5 days to Georgia and then will go to Idaho for a week of camping! I would love any ideas for support. My whole life I have tricked myself into thinking JUST THIS ONE SPECIAL OCCASION as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted. I didn't want to put off starting the program because there never seems to be "the perfect time"...but I am a little afraid of old habits. Thanks for all the encouragement so far. It has really been a blessing.
If anyone else has been through this please let me know how you held on.

hi Margot! I dont have any good advice for you because I am fairly new to medifast too. But I will be watching this thread very carefully to see what advise others give you because I will soon be going on vacation and I am having some fears about cheating! Good Luck to you

We went to Branson for 10 days in June and we drove..Had a shake or oatmeal in the mornings.. We packed an ice chest and made a shake before we left the house.. then when it was time we just drank it while driving and made another one in its place.. we actually made a couple at a time(had 4 cups and there was 2 of us on program) and kept them in the chest.. put enough of the shakes for the day in a gallon ziplock bag with some paper towels folded up in it and put them on the back seat..then we didn't have to dig out all 100 we took with us..they were always within reach.. this worked out very well for us.. at night we made 1 for the morning and then did the same thing every day.. we drank ours before we went into a show and and then drank the next one when we left.. we ate out everyday at different places for the lean and green.. Good luck and have a great time on your trips..Martha

Margot,

I am currently on my 3rd business trip since I began Medifast Memorial Day 2005 (completing week 7 today). I have lost 34+lbs. Each trip I allow for some flexibility. I have been doing the complete program while not traveling, and allow for the "lean & green" while traveling. This allows me to entertain clients and so forth without having to explain my nutritional habits. Remember if your travel involves long periods of sitting, you may hold some water due to lack of circulation while riding. If you are flying, expect the flight to cause some fluid adjusting too. Don't weigh until you've been home 2-3 days.
Also, make sure you are prepared....pack plenty of supplements. I am having more shipped to me while I am in Phoenix because my original itinerary went from 10 days to 17 days.
GOOD LUCK!
