I'm on closing out week 6 of Optifast, headed into week 7. Could use some community around this journey as we head into the holidaze...Cheers!!

    I'm thinking of potentially doing this via doctor monitored program. How has it been working out?

    Hi there! I will be starting a year-long optifast (incl transition and maintence) program starting the 17th. I'd love connect with y'all!

    Hi I am starting optifast tomorrow. I successfully lost 25kgs and kept it off a few years ago but after having a baby I have regained it. I am now determined to loose it again. Looking for someone else to connect with to help motivate each other.

    Started mine today as well. Maybe worth setting up a group?

    Yes, there is! Unfortunately, not many members or active! However, it was recently set up!

    I'm on my second day of Optifast 900 -- managed by the Partners for Healthier Weight team out of QEII hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Loving it so far! We had three weeks at 1200 calories and are now starting 12 weeks of Optifast 900.

    Hi! Today is my first day on Optifast. I am so hopeful and determined to lose 75 lbs. and I need to do it quickly. I am being monitored by Wake Forest Baptist Health Weight Management's doctors, nurse practitioners, behaviorlist, nutritionist. It is a multi disciplinary approach that is different than anything I have done before!
    I need support. A daily place to go or even multi times per day to stay focused. Please add me. (Not sure how to do that yet). Best wishes for your success!

    Today is my 3rd day of the modified Optifast 800 plan. I have four products a day, then one meal on my own that consists of very lean protein (4 oz.) and green veggies. My calories are not to exceed 1000. I am currently a client of New Horizons Medical, and they have the same approach: a team of doctors, nurse practitioners, behaviorist, nutritionists and personal trainers to work with you each week. I want to loose 35 lbs. It has been a tough week so far. The water consumption helps (90 to 100 ounces a day), but if I am not moving around, I tend to think about food and have cravings. I would love to join a group where we can share ups/downs and motivate.

    Hi!
    I'm also on the Optifast program here in Canada. We do 4 'shakes' a day, totalling 900 calories. I'm on week 3.... how are things going for you now?

    Hi! I'm starting Optifast this Sunday, and hope to lose 20kg/40lbs. How have you found it? Is it tasty enough that you don't falter because you get bored with the taste? I'd love to see a before and after photo if that's not to awkward to ask for

    Hi, I started Optifast supplements July 26th and today is day 3. It hasn't been that bad as long as I have a shake every 3-4 hours. How have you all been doing?
