I thought this might help some newbies, as well as benefit the rest of us!

I could never do MF without:

1. My awesome Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender
It makes perfect shakes and is small enough for me to use at work.


2. My scale


3. My cool measuring cups and spoons
It's amazing what 1 tbsp and 1 cup really look like! You can't judge by eyeing it.


4. SmartWater!

Ok I need some help! We are having a retirement party right now- there is a 50 foot buffet with turkey, mashed potatoes, pasta, meatballs, sausage, fried chicken, rice, chips, dips... this is awful. I am avoiding the food, but people are saying "Are you on a diet? Just have some carrots. Just have some ceasar salad. Here's a turkey wrap, that's healthy. How about some egg salad? Here some chicken, just don't eat the ...

Hello all and thank you so much for the warm welcome back. It feels like returning home :)

Well, I did not actually begin medifast again until today. I had a consultation with a surgeon regarding the lap-band surgery on the 10th and decided to go for it.

Well, I have to be under doc supervised diet for a while before my insurance will OK the procedure. ...

I went shopping today to pick up a sweater that I saw around the holidays, but wanted to wait for it to go on sale. I wasn't able to get the color I want because for the first time they didn't have a small enough size :) What a total change from previous shopping experiences! So, I bought two in different colors and basically went skipping out ...

Yeah, I fell off the plan for a while...but I'm back. In case you don't know, I'm the greatest person who has ever been a part of this place.

Can someone clarify how to measure foods? I have been weighing all my LEANS on the scale, and all my GREENS in a measuring cup. How would I meausre cheese correctly?

I am confused.

ok - 15 days in, 10 lbs gone - WOOHOO! BUT - since this is the fastest I've ever lost weight (yo-yo most of my life), and since I am now well north of 50, but south of 60, I am getting concerned about having lots of flabby skin left later.

Can some other 50+ ladies who have experience with this give me some advice? - I know the "exercise" mantra, but what REALLY works ...

Are four shakes, a bar, and the l&g meal allowable? Or is that not enough calorie wise? Variety wise I just feel I need to change it up.

Hello, again. I recognize some of you, still. Well, I fell off the wagon and gained about 15 pounds. I was about 5 pounds from my goal, quit medifast and enjoyed the holidays way too much. Well, I ordered medifast today, so back to the grindstone! A lesson well-learned-- TRANSITION and MAINTENANCE are important. I am looking forward to getting back into the groove. I have all these new "skinny" clothes that I can't squeeze ...

My brother is working out every night and he feels great. So, he's motivated me to get my butt moving. I also got my fitness newsletter this morning which suggested that I make an exercise schedule with goals. So here goes.

Tonight (Tues): abs/squats/barbells

I've found myself ...
