Hi Maria!
Just wanted to welcome you to the forums. I am a newbie too, just started on the 16th of the month and have lost 17 pounds already. Fortunately, I work a frenetic desk job, so Medifast fits in to my lifestyle very well. The only times I have issues are on the weekends when I have the time to think about food. Water is REALLY important with this, make sure you have a bottle with you at all times, and chug away.
I look forward to hearing about your weight loss!
