Very interesting.
You can't be serious. The person who lost 52 pounds "naturally" was rude because of his comment not because he lost weight the natural way. That was a dumb thing to say. How would you feel if you we're proud of your weight loss and someone said woop dee do, I did it better than you? I'm sure you wouldn't feel very good or supported.
Didn't your mothers ever teach you if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all? I don't mean the people that have actually had CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, but the ones that took the time to just be plain rude.
OP congrats on your weight loss, I hope you are able to sustain it once you go off the program.0 -
Let us know how much weight stays off once you stop taking this product.
I agree0 -
That is awesome!! So happy for you! Keep up the great work!0

Not to say that isn't a huge accomplishment, just be careful that you practice sustainable habits in your weight loss
It would be a pity to lose this weight but not build the habits you need to keep it off. If you are disciplined enough to lose this 40, then I think you are disciplined enough to keep it off if you set your mind to it! 0 -

Let's help and be supportive here. Sometimes people with more weight to lose need a little push in the beginning, and then they can gradually build in healthier, long term options. Not all of us can post the rock hard abs in the mirror picture quite yet.
Way to go, OP!0 -
All I have to say is congrats on your loss!!! I know people who have taken the weight off slowly with diet and exercise and STILL gained their weight back. So congrats to you!!!! Well done!!!!0

40lbs is 40lbs so well done for even sticking to those shakes for 1 day never mind 8 weeks. I tried them a few years ago and stick with it for a little over a week. I lost 13lbs but by the end of the week a was physically borking as I was trying to drink them. You don't seem stupid so you understand what you have to done to keep it off.
I unfortunately went straight back to eating double the amount of crap I did before so put double back on. Now doing it the slow way and have lost 40lbs in 6 mths. That doesn't sound as nearly impressive 40lbs in 8 weeks.
Once again Well Done Your body will love you for it.0 -

Do you know what constructive criticism is?
Welcome to life. Have fun chastising everyone who doesn't meet your mother's definition of saying something nice. I personally don't think it's nice to support people partaking in unhealthy weight loss schemes. By the way, don't you find it the slightest bit hypocritical to call someone's comment dumb and in the same breath say people should only say nice things?0 -

We have different definitions of rude. In my world, encouraging bad behaviors and habits is rude.0 -
OMG, such negative comments. Be proud of your loss. I did a modified version of Optifast and recently have been strickly on food and I still lost 10lbs this last month. People shouldn't be so judegmental. If what you are doing is working for you, then continue to do it and be proud of your successess as they come!0

I pray it stays off! I don't think it is a big deal to worry about how much muscle you lost now. Just remember to start strength training a little and up your calories slowly as your journey continues over the next few weeks. :] Nice work. xo I think your way takes more will power because I could not live off of that for even one week.0

Grow up. Why would you come to someone's post only to tell them how horrible their form of weight loss is? Do YOU know what constructive criticism is? Because I can tell you it sure as heck isn't telling someone their weight loss isn't as good as yours. Or telling someone they are only going to fail.
There were several posts in this thread that gave GOOD advice to the OP instead of trying to make him feel like crap.0 -
You will get mixed responses in here - most of us are very wary of quick-fix solutions and have done this the (often painstakingly) long way.
Firstly, I am glad you have dropped the weight, just coming down that much will help your body immensely. What you need to do now is slowly ween yourself off it. Reduce the amount of reliance you have on the shakes, and SLOWLY up your calories back to a reasonable level. You will gain some weight back during this phase but it is normal, and inevitable.
Learn how to live with a sustainable long-term decent diet, and make sure you are getting regular exercise (if you aren't already). The point where you come off the shakes and start using MFP to plan your diet will be the most important part of this trip. Do it slowly, do it right, and you will continue to see success!

congrats, its off 0

Happy for you. Hope you keep up the good progress.
I do not know why you went with MediFast. I know it is pricey. If it was prescribed by your doctor-now what do you do next??0 -
Well well--my friend on MF used it-reduced her blood sugar levels to a safe level and went right back to desserts and junk foods. She hasnt discussed with me how she is doing now. But, I am not blind. She gained back all the weight and is out 700 dollars.
She is my best motivator thou. She told me the other day to keep my "fat" clothes. She said I will gain it back. Hmmm-dont think so.0 -

How's the air up there on your high horse?0 -
I know someone who did medifast before, and they lost a lot of weight too. Now they have twice as much to lose this time because they never learned to eat regular food and in proper portions.
Congrats on your weight loss. Honestly hope everything works out the way you want.
^This. I know 2 people who used it with awesome results. In two months of trying to eat regular food again, each of them have gained 50-60 lbs back. I'm sure they both went back to their old eating habits instead of even attempting smart food choices and portion control though. I hope it works for you! It'd be awesome to be able to keep all that off!0
