Hi everyone! I'm a former Medifaster and I stopped the program last year due to pregnancy. I just delivered my son and am looking into the program again, and I see several changes and new products! What do you think of the new changes? I want to get started losing weight again ... and I'm strongly considering MF instead of more lenient programs.

Thanks!

    I am just restarting this program and honestly it works well if you work it. I agree it is harder for me on Weight Watchers or other programs that allow me to make choices. I am actually using Medifast in conjunction with My Fit Foods for my Lean and Green. It is helping me stay on program. I have a strong tendency to underestimate what I am eating. If I eat a high carb meal it has the same effect on me as an alcoholic with alcohol, I just want more and cannot stop. With MFF everything is measured out. Plus I have the choice of one of the Medifast microwave L&G meals. I am also following closely with my physician this time which is a new tactic. And I am adding yoga (DDPYoga) to my program to help me to deal with stress better. I feel as though I am better prepared this time. In my mind after being referred to a bariatric surgeon to discuss that option I realized that I could eat as though I had the surgery or have the surgery and have to eat that way for the rest of my life. Either way, I have to change the way I eat forever. I am choosing option one right now and praying hard. Some of the new products are very good. Potatoes make great latkes and the chips are good, just not very many (which is the whole point). Good for you for doing this now. You have the choice of being healthier while your kids are still young and fun (mine are older, although still loads of fun).

    They now have L&Gs that you can buy, I never did buy them though. The Mashed Potatoes were/are awesome. There are new snacks out like chips and popcorn. They are snacks though so I was a little disappointed. All in all it's the same program. I decided to leave MF as I got frustrated with the center and no losses with exercise and eating 5 &1 sometimes even 4 & 2. That's just me. The newer foods are tasty though! :D
