I ran into a good friend last year who I didnt even recognize because she had lost over 100lbs since the last time I had seen her. She told me it was medifast and that she loved it. The woman had always been heavy and was smaller than me, looking to be about a size 2! I have always weighed about 120lbs but during my divorce I had gotten up to 150. I only stuck to the diet for 3 weeks because I had gotten down to 135 and felt good, so just stopped. 6 months later and weighing in at 138, I decided to go ahead and lose that other 15 lbs I was wanting to lose. One week in, 5 lbs down. Not everything is delicious, but it is edible and doable if you are determined to actually stick to it! BTW, the new "parmisan cheese balls" are awesome.

This is for anyone that is interested in the medifast plan. It does work. I have been over weight for about 25 years and there was no diet that worked for me. I have lost 55 pounds in 4 months and it was easy. The food is good. I crockpot the soups, (all 7 packets at once) and add different things that are low fat low carb such as rotel tomatoes, mushrooms, ect. I recommend crockpotting the soups and freezing them in single serving freezer bowls. And the eggs are good, I add onions and mushrooms and a little fat free cheese sometimes. I love the shakes. I bought a single serving blender, Hamilton beach) and mix with ice and 8oz water. I add a tablespoon of instant coffee and some vanilla or hazelnut sugar free syrup in the morning to make a frozen cappachino. Use your imagination. Good luck.

Medifast is by far the best weight loss program I’ve ever tried! I love it, and although I’ve bumped myself out of ketosis several times due to a birthday party, family reunion, and a concert, I’ve still lost 25 lbs. and 2 pant sizes, in less than 2 months! I can’t wait to lose the other 35 lbs. that I have to lose! And, because of all of the nutrients I’m getting, my nails are growing like crazy! It takes dedication, but it’s so worth it. It has changed the way I look at food! And, the people that say you’ll gain all the weight back, obviously missed the whole point of this plan. You can’t go back to eating the way you did before Medifast, and you have to exercise! It’s a lifestyle change!! Try it, and remember that it takes about 3-5 days to enter ketosis, but once you’re there, you ARE NOT HUNGRY!!! Which, for me, is a wonderful thing:)
