    11 weeks, 17 pounds, yay!

    It's finally beginning to start to feel like real 'loss' - 10-11 pounds of 'holiday weight' that I never really felt I owned, so it didn't 'count', and a handful of pounds that weren't far enough below my usual 'set point' weight that I didn't trust them, you know?

    But I'm seeing a number on the scale that I haven't seen in about 7 years (and it was a fluke that time). Couple more weeks/pounds, and I'll really feel like I'm starting to get somewhere! :-) (I'm short, and don't have a lot to lose, though it looks like a lot on my tiny frame, that's why the numbers are modest.)

    Hello, I just joined the group. I've been on Medifast for 8 weeks and have lost 23 lbs. I suppose it could be more, based on what I read/see on the website but I'm pretty thrilled with the progress. My metabolism is creakingly, achingly slow (thanks menopause!) and quite honestly I have started to cheat a little bit here and there. So I'd like to join this group to interact with others on Medifast and hopefully be a little more accountable, at least to myself. My husband is super supportive even though he's not on the plan, and my kids no longer live at home, so I don't have to cook family meals. But I do get bit by the snacking bug and I really need to overcome that. Looking forward to posting more and reading the posts here. Happy Memorial Day!

    I'm on day 4 and have lost 8.5lbs. My mom has not been on it long and has transformed! Very inspiring to see her go from a size 20 to size 8. I have many, many more pounds to go, but this is so exciting! :flowerforyou:

    I have just finished my first week and lost 3.5 lbs. Yay I am so thrilled. Should I have seen a bigger weight loss I'm wondering. Could I have missed something or done something wrong?

    I'm in maintenance now, started Dec. 3, 2012, lost 40 pounds in 3 months and 8 more during Transition. I'm trying to gain some muscle now but still eat one or two MF snacks/meals a day.

    I started two weeks ago and am down 6.2. Not as much as other folks in their first few weeks, but that's ok because it's still a nice loss :) ... I'm looking for new buddies and support so please add me as a friend.

    I just wanted to post an update to my progress. 10 weeks and 34.4 pounds gone. I finally dropped out of the 200s and I couldn't be happier! It's been a long time since I've weighed less than 200 pounds.

    Thank you to all for posting their progress. You're all inspiring and help to keep me motivated and on plan!

    So...I might as well update my progress too.

    I've hesitated, because I don't have the dramatic losses that other folks have. However, I am a very small person, and did not have a huge (relative) amount to lose, and also, I'm one of those who seems to have a very difficult time losing at all.

    So then, I've been on for 19 weeks, and I've lost 20 pounds. That's over halfway to my goal. I am at a lower weight than I have been for well over 10 years - before kids. And, this is all basically without exercise. I have dieted/exercised in a focused way in the past, and have never seen results coming anywhere close to this.

    Also, in those 19 weeks, there were many days/weeks/portions of weeks where I was not on-plan. Some celebrations, some vacations, some hubby-cooked-and-dang-it-looks-good days. Overall, those 'days off' probably amounted to 8 of those 19 weeks. Given that - it starts to make the 20 pounds look better. And I have to say, I'm pretty proud that during *none* of those breaks did I GAIN any weight. I may have gone off-plan (and usually with full knowledge that I was doing so - I'm not fooling myself), but I have maintained at whatever weight I'd reached, each time. I think that being aware of the *choices* I'm making, and not acting as if I'm 'cheating' or 'sneaking' or whatever is a big part of that. I make a choice, I understand the potential consequences, and I accept them.

    So I just wanted to say that even if you're not 'perfect' - this plan STILL DOES WORK. You don't need to 'give up' if you 'screw up'. It's never a screw-up....it's simply a journey, and choices you make on that journey.
