Today marks my 3 month "anniversary" if you will of starting Medifast. :flip:

I started on April 13, 2005, doing the Lean & Green plan and 40 pounds of flabbage are GONE!!! :boing:

I am so happy with this!!! I originally set a goal of 55lbs (that was exactly what I gained with my first pregnancy) so I thought ...

This question is for Nancy:

Do you think people have a significant difference in weight loss between the 5 and 1 and the full fast? I had thought of doing the full fast, but since I did a full juice fast for 40 days before, I know how the hunger rolls in when you start adding solids back to your diet. I have always gone to one extreme to another and it's always been all ...

Hi, Kids ~

I got a good question from a guy friend of mine and I thought I would post it and my reply and ask you for your input, too.

Question: Anyone ever report any issues with depression on this diet? I find that I just sometimes seem to "crash" and get real down. Perhaps it's my natural impatience and guilt about letting myself go for so long, but it can really get bad ...

I just got my first order and plan to start the 5 and 1 on August 1st. I have tried a couple of sample shakes and had diarehea both times afterwards...Is this normal? :oops:

I will be starting my Medifast program tomorrow. I wanted to know if I could use tofu instead of chicken in my salad. Also, I welcome any advice or tips for a successful start. I am excited and afraid at the same time...not sure why...can anyone relate? I have been overweight all of my life (120lbs. overweight now), and NO ONE has EVER seen me thin because I never have been. I hope my best ...

OK, I FINALLY found a way to make the cream of chicken soup not only tolerable, but pretty tasty. I added a tsp of Better Than Bouillon (chicken flavor) and about two tsps of fresh salsa, then mixed in a crumbled-up pack of Medi-crackers. It was so good I had it again at my next meal (yes, I had two packs of crackers in one day, but I didn't have any the past few days, ...

Obesity: Double diabetes threat?

The Sacamento Bee
Jul. 11, 2005 04:45 PM

The obesity epidemic appears to be fueling a hybrid type of diabetes that afflicts adults and children and, some believe, may increase the devastating complications of the disease.

Dubbed "double diabetes" by some and "diabetes one-and-a-half" by others, the combination of types 1 and 2 diabetes symptoms confounds doctors attempting to accurately diagnose patients and find the best medicines to treat them. ...

I am feeling like I have cheated. I know I have not - but I was hoping to do the full fast - was feeling hungry all of the time - with tummy grumbles - my 3 year old reminded me to say excuse me -thought I had passed gas :oops: So anyway the last 3 days I have been eating chicken at dinner time - and ...

My friend from High School sent this to me and thought #2 & 3 were a riot...
