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. ...

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.

If instead of doing 5/1 if I do 6 plus a salad?

Hi All-
I have a question..
Ok, I looked up online what my BMR is at is said it is around 1500 calories a day I burn just to survive. So I figured I Medifast provided me with a calorie deficit of 700-800 a day.. considering it takes 3500 calories burned to lose a pound, it would take me 5 days to lose a pound, so, how can MF say "lose 2-5 pounds a week"? ...

Hi -

mid-way thru 2nd week - 6.5 lbs gone! I've been relatively happy with the products so far -not gourmet cooking, but tolerable. However, the Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal tasted AWFUL - it was so bitter it almost gagged me - like someone poured a whole bottle of liquid saccharin in it! Is it possible I got a bad batch (only tried one packet)? I hate to waste it by making it again ...
