The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Hi there, after prowling around for a while on this site and others, I've decided to "come out". What a great forum for losers like us! Medifast is so easy to follow, as long as you remember not to chew anything, just sip away! Only cheated a few times on the full plan, once was a weekend business meeting, had chunky tomato soup & an appetizer sized portion (4) of ravioli stuffed with mushrooms, spinach, ...

Could I use the seasoned rice vinegars? I have Nakano brand red pepper
It has 20 cal per tbls o fat o cholesterol 240 mg sodium 5grams total carbohydrate sugars 5 and o protein. My mom started using these, they have 5 or 6 flavors, cause she has high cholesterol. Let me know. A couple of shakes is all it takes.

Let me know. Thanks
Jackie

I finally got started today. The shakes taste pretty good. :D :D actually better that I thought. However, all I seem to be thinking about is food. I'm not hungry. I think it's my mind playing tricks.

I read that you should have at least 3 shakes by 2:00 pm. Normally, I work(6pm - 6am) at night ...

Gotta GO.............. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Hello, my friends!

I'm leaving this afternoon (Friday) to lead a weekend retreat, and will be back on Sunday afternoon. This is only my second week on Medifast, so I've gotta do some careful planning.

I will bring my shakes and soups, shaker jar, tea (I don't drink coffee), sweetner, bottled water, diet sodas, bullion, and a big mug with a lid!!!!!

Am I forgetting anything?

The good thing is, I'll be BUSY!!!!! It is ...

Hi y'all--

I am facing some challenges in the next few days:

--a fundraising event with food on Saturday night
--my niece's christening on Sunday
--keeping my husband from finding out I am on Medifast

I know, the last one sounds weird, but for alot of reasons, I do not want him to know right now. And that is the challenge that bothers me the most right now. I know I won't be able to ...

Hi, Kids ~

BTW, Ellen and Mike you both had great comments regarding the differences betweenour product and Optifast.

I won't take the time right now to go into great detail as I am on my lunch break at work and am having a lot of interruptions.

Yup, Optifast and Medifast are similar because Medifast had its beginnings in Optifast, which was designed for use in a clinical or hospital setting. You’re right, Optifast does ...

O.K. folks, help me out here....

I'm doing the full fast, and here's my question: Do 3 out of my 5 meal replacements have to be SHAKES????

I am using shakes, cocoa, and creamy soups.

Because it's getting chilly and damp in Philadelphia, sometimes I'd like to have only two shakes and have three of the hot drinks per day...is that O.K. or should it be three shakes and then two of the others?????

THANKS! ...

I'm new to Medifast but about 18-years ago My wife and I successfully lost quite a bit of weight on the Optifast program. Neither of us had any trouble staying on the program, in fact, we must have been getting adeqaute nutrition because neither of us got sick or felt poorly as long as we were on the program.
The Medifast supplements appear to be similar to Optifast, in fact Optifast had -55 and -70 ...

2 points/comments here. I don’t know if these are all in my brain, or are a direct result of Medifast. ?!?!

Point 1 = I wear Contact Lens (lenses?) I wear the Accuvue disposables. I generally wear them for about 3 weeks per pair (with cleanings in-between). Usually (before starting the program) I had to clean them about every 2-3 days, as my eyes would get cloudy. (If you do not wear contacts you might ...
