2 pounds in 6 days isn't bad. I'm losing about 2 lbs/week or less. The last time I did medifast (2 yrs ago), the weight came off quicker and I can't figure out why or what I'm doing differently now. But I'm just chugging along, hoping it still continues to come off at 1-2 lbs/wk. All you can do is make sure you're measuring out your lean and green servings, measuring out your healthy fat serving, checking your allowed snacks, and making sure you're drinking all your water.

See what you lose the second week. I never have big losses my first week but usually my first two weeks combined is pretty good.

I'd also agree to get all 5 in there. When I only get 4 I either have no drop or it goes up. Pretty weird considering you would think that if you eat less, you lose more. Give it 2 weeks, you will likely start to see some better results soon. First time around I only lost 5 lbs in the first 2 weeks and then it seemed to melt off progressively after that until after 2 months I was 20 lbs down. I'll take 10 lbs a month, thank you very much. This second time around, I don't know what the difference is, but it is coming off much faster. Everyone and every time is different. Just don't give up. You can do it and it will pay off.

Hi, I just started the Medifast Program last Tuesday, April 22. I have weighed myself each morning (I know I shouldn't, but I couldn't resist) and I am down 10 lbs even in five days. I can't wait to step on the scales Tuesday morning to see how much I've lost in the first week.

I am super excited about this diet because I tried it a few years ago and lost weight easily and consistently. I have 47 more pounds to lose. I'm going on vacation to Europe in mid-July and I'm praying I can get the bulk of the weight off by then, but I know patience is the key. At least I can take my meals with me on vacation and I only have to worry about making wise choices at dinner for my "lean and green".

Excited about this journey! Stay encouraged!!!
