The first one I had after starting Medifast was about a week late. I always hate that because I want to get it over with. I've been regular since then.

My caloric intake was 425 cals per day (2 puny meals) and while it was nice not to deal with a period it was not pleasant when it returned. My husband was in danger of being a victim of homicide....
