Dear MakeMeThinner Clients ~I have several important topics to share with you.
We just received notice in a TSFL corporate meeting that since there is enormous pressure on commodity food supplies worldwide, and raw materials prices are rising significantly, Medifast is feeling the effects of this pressure as well.
Therefore, so Medifast can continue to provide the quality products and services we all desire; they have found it necessary to make an upward price adjustment.It is a very fine balancing act to accommodate the needs of the company with the individual needs of each client. When costs increase, adjustments must be made.
The Company does not want to burden us or keep us from participating in our life-changing Take Shape for Life programs using the meal replacement products because our health - and the health of the nation - is too important to put at risk but it is necessary to adjust the prices effective July 1st, 2008.
Individual product increases are in the range of $1 (about 6-7%) for the most popular items, such as the meal replacement bars and the powdered meal replacements. The Powdered Meal replacements will increase from $14.50 to $15.50 per box of 7 meals; the bars are increasing from $15.25 to $16.25 per box
The increases are in line with other increases we see at the grocery store.
The increase for the Ready-To-Drinks and the snack products required a more significant adjustment.
The RTDs are priced at $3.25 each or $69.95 per case of 24 drinks
Super Omega-3’s will be $27.50 per bottle of 60 capsules.
The Medifast snack Crackers and Soy Crisps are each adjusted upwards $1 per box of 7 packets.
Please don’t toss 
tuh-maters at me, Folks; our Medigrub Pantry will also be affected; we pay the same price as our clients for our Medigrub. The BeSlim Club discount is a way to help off-set the price increase.We have found that we spend less per meal with our meal replacements than what we’d spend at the grocery store or restaurants and we appreciate having our orders arrive automatically to our door.
BeSlim Club
There will be an impact of the Price Increase on BeSlim Club Orders...
The new prices will apply automatically beginning July 1st, so those of you who are in the BeSlim Club should expect to see the amount of your credit card charge increase as a result.
• How BeSlim Club Discounts Are Applied:
For those of you who make the changes to your BeSlim Club orders online, you may have noticed that there is a discrepancy regarding the stated discount at the top of your screen and the discount applied ‘on the bottom line of the screen.’
We have had a number of questions lately about how BeSlim discounts are applied.
The current software does not accurately display the true BeSlim discount that you receive so until the new IT system is implemented, hopefully I can clear things up a bit.
When you log in to the BeSlim Settings, it shows your earned discount at the top of the page and yet the current software does not show your actual accrued discount when you are ready to checkout.
Due to the flawed software, all orders reflect a default 5% discount ‘on the screen’ regardless of whether you are at the 5%, 8% or 12% discount level.
Once the order is actually batched (charged and paid for), the confirmation page shows the appropriate discount.
I know it makes some people
nervous about their BeSlim order because it appears they will not receive the accrued discount to which they are entitled but it has consistently proven to apply the appropriate discount once the order batches. 
The software is being changed to reflect the true discount before the order ‘batches’ but until the programmers complete the task, please know that the appropriate discounts have been applied on the batch date.
Please keep in mind orders over $200 after the actual BeSlim discount is applied receive free shipping so until the software is changed, to avoid paying shipping fees, be sure you calculate your order at your true discount level. The revisions are being tested now, and TSFL will release them as quickly as possible.Batch Dates
There are a large number of BeSlim orders clustered to batch on the 28th of each month; so far the Distribution Center has done an outstanding job of getting the orders out on time.
If at all possible, please consider scheduling your BeSlim Club order for a date other than the 28th of the month to help the Distribution Center manage a smoother workload and to help hold down shipping costs.
Yikes! At this time, there are about four times as many orders coming out on the 28th of the month as the other days and I thank you if you are able to select a date for shipment other than the 28th. Thank you, thank you! 
Just six years ago, I was desperately looking for a way to resolve my diet dilemma. After years of
yo-yo dieting and repeated weight loss 
failures, I was at my 
lowest point and felt I was destined to be forever porky. Diets had not worked for me in the past, and after bariatric consultations, the research regarding post-surgical results
disturbed me, and gastric by-pass surgery was no longer a viable option for me. My husband and I
prayed about how we could work it out for me to begin the program using the Medifast meal replacements that our friend Scott had told us about. It was a sacrifice for us financially to begin; we borrowed $ from our daughter and placed our first order. After a few days, I knew I was on to something great – I felt so different; I felt so
good – better than I had for a long time. It
dawned on me that I had been committing suicide by grease and unless I made permanent changes to the way I viewed (and 
scarfed) food and permanently changed the way I lived, my life expectancy would be curtailed. I was wa-a-a-y beyond living fluffy forever after; I was miserably morbidly obese.
My obesity cost me – my health took a big hit: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pre-diabetic, fatty liver, auto-immune disorder, joint damage, self-esteem in the dumper; I was a mess!
As mentioned, it was a sacrifice financially when we started the Take Shape For Life program – we were used to doling out the dollars for our junk food habit on a daily basis (ok, I’ll come clean – on a two or three hour habit when I’d hit the vending machine and the fast-food
drive-up windows!) so when we pre-paid for my Medifast meals for the month, it meant we had to cut out some other things. 
Was it worth it? 
Uh, yeah!
Because it was a sacrifice, I was gonna follow the program exactly as it was written.
The day I started the program, there was no looking back –
I went from...
hopeless to hopeful...
from helpless to helpful and
from flabby to fabulously healthful!
It is worth it all.
I hope you'll think so, too!
