As I am sure everyone knows, I just received my Medifast products last night, (Starting on Modday), but I didn't receive my Quick Start Quide in my Box!!! :x
It has it listed on the invoice but I took everything out the box, and no Quick Start Guide. Does it come seperatly, or should it have been in the box?
Seeing as how I am starting in ...

I am in the middle of week 6 and have been very pleased with results, until now. :aarggh: Last week -1.4#, looks like I'm about on track for that this week. Why the slow-down? The only changes that are perceptible, to me anyway, are 1) I've cut my water from 4-5 lt to 3lt & 2) it is soooo stinking hot. I have just restarted my excersize ...

I got an email just now about a new book. I am so going to order it! Anyone else get the email?

Here are my stats:

31 year old, 5'6", starting weight 200#

Now, I was wondering if there are anyone out there with similar stats that would tell me how much they lost in how many months?

My aim is to loose 50# by November 25th! Hope it's doable, considering all the plateaus/slow weeks I am gonna hit!

Thanks

My girlfriend has been on MF for about 4 weeks. She has stayed to the plan very well, with only a couple, very minor slipups. Now she is getting a bit disheartened cause currently, after 28 days, she's lost only about 9~10lbs. So she's 5'9", and started at 170lbs, and is doing the 5+1 MF plan. I'm wondering if this is normal, or is there something somewhere that we are not seeing that could be ...

I am wondering, since mushrooms are a source of protein and people often substitute them for meat, are they considered the "green" part of L/G or the "Lean" part ? I see they are listed in the "Quick Start" guide as veggies we can eat... but the question still seems pertinent.

We have stuff on the BBQ right now, and I am just trying to figure out what I am going to eat.

Any resonpse ...

. . . Can we drink these items cold or iced without heating them? They seem like they would taste yummy iced and be great for the summer months. It would also save a step by not having to heat them!!

Does anyone here do that?

Thanks!

We were at a friend's house all day. I brought my shakes with me and did well. The problem is that the dinner we had was bbq chicken...great. BUT there was no green. I just ate chicken. Can I still have a salad now or should I just move on??

When it says on the label that the vitamin percentage information is based on a 2,000 calorie diet, what does that mean?

For example, one packet of pudding has 20% drv of biotin. I have 5 packets a day. Does that mean I am getting 100% of my daily recommended value, or do I have to consider that the packets are only 550 calories total (not 2,000). I am confused! (I also want to figure ...

Okay. I have done what homework I can do and have searched for 'oysters' as well as 'shellfish' -- and I have looked through what books I have about TSFL and MF. First, from what I have read, it is okay to eat shellfish, too... right ? I know shrimp is okay, and crab, but what about things like mussels, clams, oysters and scallops ?

The only reason I am asking specifically about oysters is ...
