I started MF on March 24, am on my second week, i have had a few minor slip ups (like subsituting a slim fast bar for a supplement) but mostly i am really trying to lose 30lbs by July, i have an incentive, my son is getting married!

i luv reading the messages in all the forums. am especially interested in the recipies that talk about how to spice up the MF food. and i am genuinely encouraged by the weight loss stories. this is hard work!

Hi there, and welcome. I have done the same thing, was getting low on supplements, and had a slim fast muffin bar, it didnt make me gain, but slowed me down. I have been out of shakes for a little while too, and have been using eas shakes. they are pretty comparable, but its just not the same. Not like the "magic" you get in the MF shakes.

Hidy ho, there Dakotaslim ~

Whazzis?

a slimefast bar in place of a Medifantastic Bar?

Uh, oh! I hope ya have things all figured out now, Little Darlin'!

You will look so wonderful by the time your son's wedding day arrives - be sure to have the phone number of a great seamstress as you will lose a lot of inches on our program. We want that dress to fit you beautifully- the wedding party will want to know your secret!

Glad to have you here! Welcome! I am so happy you found us! I was offered an atkins bar once when I was away from my supplements. OMG! Can you believ what's in those things? Nancy is right about the medifantastic bars!

Just stick to the plan and the plan will work for you! A week or two and all my cravings were gone, I'm not snacking (even on the allowed stuff) and have to be reminded to eat because I'm not hungry. Just give it some time, be 100% compliant, and it gets EASY!

Keep shakin!

I always chuckle when I read reports like yours that say their cravings have gone away and they don't need the snacks as often. It seems that people are so worried about being hungry and they focus on what they will have to do without that they almost get hungrier during the first few days of the program.

Before I went on the program, I would go for hours without eating - like for 6 hours or so before I had my first food of the day. The very first day I started on the program, I looked at my shake and thought, "Is this ALL I get to have for breakfast?" I hadn't eaten breakfast for two years - since we had been on vacation!

When it was time for the mid-morning Medimeal, I looked at my little shake and thought, "Are you kidding me? This is supposed to fill ME up?" I slurped it down and wished for more.

At lunch time, I hauled out my straw and shake and sucked it down, wanting a whole lot more. This went on for a number of days...I thought about grub ALL the time. I went to bed early to avoid commercials and the calling of the cupboards (they were empty, however).

Celery became very attractive. I made a stalk of celery last for an hour. The Fast Soup was my best friend. I longed for more than one packet...

I drank water all the time. I wore a path in the carpet running to the BR.

I was eating more often than I had ever eaten, my brain wanted more food but my stomach was satisfied. Then all of a sudden, there was no focus on food, hunger was gone. Cravings were gone. My focus changed from food to life.

It's an amazing thing!

Welcome Dakota! How much do you have to lose? Will you bet getting one of these fancy-schmancy tickers like the rest of us?

What DeDe and Nancy say is absolutely correct. Just make it a few days or so till your body stops being hungry. Once in a while you do get hungry but it passes. You can do it!!

Welcome Dakota!

Hey, we started on the exact same day, March 24th! Isn't this a terrific group of losers?

Hang in there and it will all come true.
