    How did you stay on the program? I am finding myself slipping off. I have lost 25-30 lbs so far.

    I am! I love the program. I eat the medifast variety. I lost 49 may - September 2018, This was to be able to ride roller coasters. I them fell off October when the theme park closed and life had some challenges. Climed back on March 10, 2019 and I am at -24. Total lost on Optavia/Medifast -73. I still have some rides I do not fit on, but I will!

    I also like roller coasters. It is definitely something that can get very embarrassing if you can’t get the restraint down, at least for me. I am on day 3. So far so good. I don’t have the hunger issues the first days that other people seem to have. I am hoping that the weight goes off faster. The last time I had a hard time staying on track.

    I just started this plan today! I'm excited about the speed in which most people lose, but the food... oh my :( Anyone have weight loss success stories for motivation?

    I have been on plan for 13 days and have lost 12 pounds so that is great. The bars are the nicest and easy, but try not to do more than two a day. I really like mixing a chocolate chip cookie (it is great alone too) with a pancake in the mini waffle iron and making a waffle. It is super quick and yummy. The drinks are good, but less filling. I love th cinnamon cake. Love the hot chocolate. Those are really my go to’s. Make sure to treat yourself every once in awhile with a sugar free jello or frozen pop.

    You can do it! Good luck!!

    Hi, just started Optavia 5 & 1 plan on April 27.. so far so good... i’ve Like all the food so far except hot cereal.
    I have found that cooking any of the Mac and cheese in my instant pot and then sit to thicken really helps. Noodles are done and cheese is thick and saucy. I also like the bean and vegetable Chili cooked that way too. To my chili I added a little bit of fresh tomatoes to it and it was really yummy. Good luck everyone!

    I will have to try that. How long do you cook it in the instant pot?

    It works as long as you follow it. I am one month on the plan, no cheats. I lost 20.6 lbs so far. That is a lot for a woman, so probably quite a bit was water weight, but still one awesome month!

    I lost 22 pounds on it last summer. Gained 6 back but back on again today. I just want to lose this remaining 30 lbs! I have a very hard time sticking to diets in general, even simply counting calories. I just want something to work!

    I just started the 5 & 1 plan today! After years of losing and gaining even more weight back I am hopeful this may work. I like being able to scan the barcodes so I can really see what I am eating on a daily basis. Good luck to everyone!

    I'm on day 2. I'm tired today. I know the first few days are the hardest though. I think my body is going into shock wondering where all the sugar it normally gets is! lol

    True enough! I am in week 4, but have not been perfect. Each time I recommit my body wonders what is going on. My goal now is to be consistent.

    I just started today and could use some support! I tried this a few years ago and I think it would have worked a lot better if I had been more motivated to stick to it after a few life upheavals knocked me back.

    I wasn't a big fan of this morning's oatmeal and this "wild rice and chicken flavored" soup is not my favorite, but I can make it work. It's definitely encouraging me to drink more water. I'm definitely not feeling hungry, though, so that's awesome. How is everyone doing?
