A blast from the past, stopping in to revisit an old stomping ground. I am currently on day 4...yet again.

Look at my start date and let this be a lesson in what not to do...stick to the plan.

Hello to all the old names I recognize and also to the new up and coming losers.

I'll be around....

Good morning,

I just have to tell you all because I am happy. A few months ago I bought a pair of jeans that were definitely too small but they were my "size". Needless to say I couldn't wear them if I wanted to breath at the same time. Well this morning I accidently pulled them from the closet and decided to try them on. They went up easily and I'm so happy. Even though ...

Hi,

I was reading in the FAQ section and read bouillon cubes are allowed. Can I put a few leaves of cilantro in there too? (like literally a few -- to give it that added flavor).

I am on day 3 of a complete fast 5-6 shakes daily. No bars, soups, etc.

I was thinking to use the bouillon cube for a "dinner" type thing as the family eats their dinner -- fully understanding I ...

I have heard when doing other low-carb diets that since estrogen is stored in fat cells and when you are losing the fat cells, the estrogen is also released in large quantities so this can affect your birth control.

I asked my Dr. about this and he said he never had anyone with any problems while doing M/F and taking bc pills (i.e. getting pregnant b/c the pill was not as effective).

Does anyone have ...

Hey, Everyone:

I am back. The Lord has been so good to me. I am doing great after my health challenges. The Lord is still in the healing and blessing business. It is ours for the receiving.

This is Day 1 for me. I am so glad to be back.

Jan and Nancy, thank you for your prayers.

Sincerely,

I started MF March 5th. I have lost 14.6 pounds since then. I am a working mom to a 15 month old and I need the energy to keep up with her. I have about 65 pounds to lose.


I had my date wrong! oopps... chalk it up to not very much sleep in about 4 days... I had to look at my journal!

CAN YOU USE SPLENDA TO SWEETEN YOUR SUPPLEMENTS?

CAN YOU DRINK COFFEE W/ SUGAR FREE CREAMER?

I ALREADY WALK APPROX. 4-5 TIMES A WEEK, ...

My dr. did say I could have a soup packet in place of a shake packet -- are these worth investing in? Is one better than another? (i.e., chicken noodle versus chili, etc.).

I'm just thinking down the road -- I don't want to interchange anything just yet until I'm a few weeks into program. Maybe I will do the soups first before going to the 5-1 plan -- just to get used to controlling ...

Hi everyone,

I started medifast (5-0) today under physician supervision. I have about 90 lbs to lose and will be 38 in 2 weeks.

I did MF about 14 years ago and lost about 50 lbs in 3 months but then just quit one day and never went back. So I know it works, and I still remember how good I felt while doing it. Especially as the weight came off.

My question/concern is this. ...

I started being nauseated Thursday. :cry: I've had the runs (sorry!) :oops: since then, but just last night started throwing up. :puke: Where do I begin with my diet? What should I try to eat. The RTD made me nauseated last night. I know this is TOO MUCH ...
