Hi,

I am starting medifast this weekend and have a few questions.

First, is it safe and healthy to eat only 800-1000 calories a day? Everything I have ever heard states other wise.

Secondly, do you find that you have less energy due to the drastic decrease in calories?

Thirdly, with so little calories, do you find yourself feeling hungry all the time?

I am just curious as what to expect.

I'm having a lot of trouble right now. I don't know what to do about it. I've been so successful on Medifast. I know I will continue to be successful, but what used to be a lot easier to keep a handle on is now very difficult.

I know there could be many reasons. Work is insanely busy and stressful. A lot of emotionally trying things have been happening in my private life. I'm still ...

Hi,

I did Medifast for few days before and quit due to some personal reasons. I am back on program since Aug 22nd and did pretty good so far. It has been pretty good so far and I lost about 7 pounds so far and feeling pretty good about it.

But for some reason, today I woke up with a headache and am feeling very hungry since morning ...

I'm thinking once I get to my halfway goal, I'd start rock climbing - but I'm probably still going to be overweight. I heard somewhere that rock climbing (I'm talking indoor on fake walls, not the actual extreme stuff) is really good exercise for overweight folks - does anyone have any information on that? Google is not being helpful. Thanks in advance! :)

I am down 5 lbs in one week and I can already feel and see the difference. The first few days I felt terrible but I have really felt great the last few. It's easy now, looking forward to continuing and reaching my goal.

As I mentioned in another thread, I recently received a promotion from my company. Because of this, I am having a large number of people stop by to congratulate me. This bothers me enough, but most of them are also commenting on my weight loss as well.

I'm having to accept congratulations and compliments in the same day. I think this is one of the rings of hell.

Yikes - I reached goal today! :yes: When I started MF and set my original goal of 134#, I intended to reassess when I reached it. So, I am going for 129#!!

30# Club please, Unca!!

ok - let me begin by saying, YES I have cheated ... three times in the past three weeks! One time it was five tator tots and about 15 french fries ... a few days later it was two chicken strips at shorty smalls ... a week later it was five bite size popcorn chicken pieces - that last one was monday, two days ago! BUT I know a cheat is a cheat, but I ...

I thought I'd post this from my journal yesterday! Thanks Unca Tim for your post. I love Medifast and Makemethinner Forum!! I couldn't get these kind of results without you! :cheermed:

I just got the results back from my cholestrol test when I got my life insurance policy. Wooohoooo!!!!!!

Before I started MF my total chol. was 285. I am down to 208!!! My triglycerides is 114 ...

The annoying nosy co-worker came over to me and said quite loudly "What are you doing? Starving yourself? You never eat anything but those shakes. What are you trying to do? Kill yourself by starvation?"

UGH.
