The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Hi everyone! Today is day one for me. I've done medifast before. Last June I had gastric lap band surgery and have lost a good bit. Now I've hit a plateau and want to break through it. So my surgeon/medical weight loss doc said it was OK to go on medfast again until I reach my goal...then use my handy dandy band to maintain. So yesterday I went to his office and stocked up for ...

I've ordered 4 weeks of medifast. I'm 50 and have fought weight my whole life. I had gastric bypass surgery, got skinny very fast and have since gained my weight back 5 years later. I want a kick start to get thin again and now I think I finally know better on how to monitor it, or do I?

Re-Evaluating Your Motivation


What is your motivation for losing weight? Are you driven by a strong desire to be healthy, have more energy or wear that new outfit you’ve been eyeing? Whatever your motivation, be weary of judging your success based solely on the readout from your scale. Fixating on a specific “number” that ...

Just curious what everyones experience has been in regards to where they seemed to have lost the weight first. Do most lose it in the waist, hips, butt, chest, ect. before overall loss. Thanks to everyone who responds!

I am starting for the first time, tried to a few months ago but couldnt. I start tomorrow and was wondering what to expect in the first couple days? do you lose right from day 1 or not until a week or so goes by?

Hi there everyone. I have posted a couple of times lately, but not formerly introduced myself to the forum - which is pretty much all new peeps for me :)

I had great success with MediFast a couple of years ago, and was also quite successful at keeping the weight and eating under control for about a year - woohoo ...
