Hi all,
I'm Julie and I'm getting ready to try Medifast. I've done quite a bit of research and think I'm ready to try the program. :shock: I thought maybe it would be a good idea if I could get some input on what is best to order to start off with. I'm afraid if I end up with something that doesn't taste to great I'll quit ...

Well I stayed the same this week. :( I was sick 2 days and have my girl thing going on. It's been a rough week, I hope next week will be better :cry: The holidays used to be a happy time, but my older son, 20, hasnt come over yet and Im very upset about it. ...

I ate (lightly) at my in-laws last night, but am having some adverse effects from it (HUNGER!) I have two more days worth of holiday visits-I think I will abstain from eating either place.

Terry & Nancy, you are in my prayers (as is your dad and mom!)

Has anyone heard from Nancy or Terry or Unca Tim? I Know this is a diffucult time for Nancy with her father being sick. I really miss their comments and encouragement. I wish them well as I do each and every one of you. Have a Merry Christmas. Maggie

I've been doing about 1/2 and 1/2 modified vs. full fast (about three
days a week modified, the rest fast). Is it just me, or does anyone
else out there notice that the days of full fast area actually easier
than the modified days? When I have a meal at night, I find that I'm
actually hungrier and am tempted to eat more than my alloted portion.
I'm also DYING for that next suppliment in ...

So does anyone have advice on how to eyeball the 4-6 oz. of meat, fish or protein I should be limiting myself to? I'd rather not go buy a scale. And of course I won't be deep-frying it or ladeling gravy on top, but what are my preparation options? What do you recommend.

Also, 2 cups of salad greens actually seems like a very small quantity when I lightly tossed some spinach and mixed greens ...

The text from the TSFL site says:

The program is based on having 5 meal replacements per day. You should have at least 3 shakes and may use Oatmeal, Supplement Bars, Creamy and Chicken Noodle Soups, or Cocoa to round out your meal replacements.

It seems I've read that 6 meal replacements (or shakes) are allowd. What should I go by?

I have seen people post about boulion. What are the rules (how much can you have a day?)

I have some of the chicken noodle soups, are those going to slow down the weight loss? I know my first few days are going to be the hardest, and the boulion or soup would help me get through it. Just want to make sure I dont over do it or break any rules.

Also, my wife ...

Our good Medifast buddy, Mike, hits a milestone today--100 days on the program!

Great job Mike--you are an inspiration for all of us! :cleader:

I was reading about "what not to eat" and these were a few interesting GOOD points/area's to avoid, with good deductive reasoning... I thought them interesting:

Remember, the golden rules for foods not to eat:

1. If you can buy it through a window - don't eat it.
2. If you can supersize it - don't eat it.
3. If it comes wrapped in plastic - don't eat it.
4. If it has a hole ...
