I had a friend who did that and kept it off because she made sure she got used to eating well and exercising regularly. So, congrats and good luck!(:0

Gosh, people are such jerks. Why is it so hard for people to accept that different things work for different people? Whatever it takes to jump start a diet. Great job.0

It honestly sounds like your self image is the thing holding you back here, not your ability to eat healthily. I suggest you find someone to talk to about this, as difficult or unnecessary as you may see it - it may just be the catalyst to success for you.
Most people who have been overweight their whole life (myself included) have gone through a period of mental adjustment about losing weight and becoming 'different' than what you have known your whole life. I don't know why this happens other than we, as human beings, inherently crave homeostasis. Change can be frightening and this often drags us back into our old unhealthy habits. This is probably why you failed before, and will fail again if you don't acknowledge it as an issue.
We all have up and down days, and times where we question if its worth the effort, but let me assure you it is!
I appreciate this response!0 -
"low-carb Medifast plans allow dieters approximately 800-1,000 calories a day, designed to yield a loss of 2 to 5 pounds per week"
from the medifast website0 -

Be smart about it. It can assist you with your weight loss, but keep in mind this is long term thing. WHen you get off it, make sure you eat at your TDEE for your weight. Don't get complacent.
What is TDEE?0 -
Why is everyone being such an a-hole? GOOD GAWD get off your pedestal.

I just have to figure out how to post them0 -
Great job! We are all on our own journey to weigh loss, many of us have done it more than once and many of us are trying to overcome our own scatomas and learn more about ourselves and what we need to do to be successful.
I am not sure why people can not be happy for your loss and instead are making such rude comments. Good luck, I think every one of us face the potential of relapse if we do not learn how to maintain and deal with our mental aspect as well.
Well done! Celebrate your success0 -
I did that 5 years ago. Lost 60 lbs. and I had to do it again so I figure why not try a different approach.
And you'll have to do it again when you gain this back unfortunately.0 -

if a young woman said she was going to eat 800 calories a day (like the medifast program) and lose 40 pounds in 8 weeks she would be roasted alive here
I am just curious why it is ok for a guy
seems hypocritical somehow0 -
congratulations.......keep up the good work! My ex lost 80lbs doing medifast about 2yrs ago and has never gained a pound back, so it can be done!0

Congrats on you achievement! keep going!
I did Medifast years ago. No solid foods went into my mouth for 6 months. I lost 75 pounds and then when I started adding food back, I was in a car accident. I could not exercise and had to take my meds with food. I cried and cried. I gained back every pound--emotional eating and lack of control. I tried so many diets since then. I am doing well on mfp. I do bug servers asking about what is in a dish if the nutritional values can't be found online. I have even had a couple of cooks come out of the kitchen to explain the dish to me. I have shared mfp website with anyone who will listen.0
