    How do you all like the Medifast food? I tried Nutrisystem (very briefly) a while back but didn't like the food so I'm hesitant to sink $$$ in to Medifast. Thanks, Rebecca

    A friend bought me my first month of MediFast, it should arrive soon. I have heard such mixed things about it. I have used MFP for a couple years now and have had some success, 25 pounds. But I found myself sliding back into bad habits after multiple hospital stays and a big cutback in excerise (I am waiting on a lung transplant). Finally I am well enough to start activities again, but need help breaking the carb/sugar cycle I've been in. Thankfully I did not have to pay for this though, as truth be told, the reviews of their customer service and billing practices scare me. Hopefully it will give me a jump start back on the right path.

    That was so nice of your friend to buy out for you! It is expensive, especially the first month when we're still learning. I'm 3 weeks in now and I love how easy it is. For me, it won't help with carb/ sugar cravings. I guess it depends on what you order though? It does help with portion control though, until you get o your lean & green. I have to split mine up sometimes. It seems like so much food all at once compared to my 5 medifast meals. Again, I'm sure it depends on what you order. Good luck! I hope it helps you in the ways you are hoping. It definitely works for weight loss. Everyone I know of who's followed the program has had great success with it. :)

    Doing Medifast for the second time after losing 65 lbs and within 17 lbs of goal. Not a cheat in sight during that whole time. Then my dad finally passed from cancer and I was slammed with shoulder surgery which doc didn't want me to stay low carb. Need to complete put on about 20 with a new bf marine who works out to compensate - I can't compete so it's just easier to book the whole plan... I like the food and sometimes make recipes from items that aren't pack and carry muffins etc seems to work well. Just joined this app because the blogs etc used to be better a couple of years ago then now...

    Hi. I'm doing Medifast and am looking for some friends for accountability. I have 100 lbs to go. Feel free to add my as your friend. I find it helpful to see others' updates on the News Feed.

    I'm on it too. I did it 1.5 years ago and was very successful and lost 65 pounds and within 15 pounds of my goal too. I've gained 30 back, but it's my own fault. I didn't do transition and ate like crap because life wasn't so great. My pants started getting really tight and I didn't want to have to go buy bigger clothes (I got rid of everything that was too big). I realized that I needed to snap out of that and do it the right way. I'm on week 2 and feel great. I am going to transition properly this time when I get to my goal. I will not be obese ever again!

    I am back.....I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease last August and between the steroids, lack of exercise and bad food choices have regained 30lbs....Time to regain control of my health and jump back in. Notice I said health not diet....To me Medifast is about health choices rather than food choices. Wish me luck!!!

    Hi Rosie, I'm on too - lost 107 in 2010 on MF and due to recent hospitalization gained 32 back so returning to MF as I know this works....I created a group for MF'ers as I saw that MF gets flamed a lot on MFP, which is sad and I like to support anyone trying to lose. I invited you :) It's called "MF Friends" if anyone else would like to join

    It's okay, you can get the things that you like. I like to take the soft serve, shakes, pudding and add black coffee n ice in the blender. another good place is instagram where they post recipes n support ideas. I don't think the food is bad at all. And it works, so I would encourage you to purchase one month and try being creative. You won't like everything, but most things are pretty tasty

    I'd like to recommend instagram, using hashtag #medifast #tsfl and other related phrases. You'll find a huge number of people communicating and sharing recipes and support.

    I am on day 3 of Medifast and I figured I would be gung ho and just figure out the lean and green meals. But man.. if you use Sandy's Kitchen.. I mean she shows you how to eat AMAZINGLY. Like.. I was just gonna eat grilled salmon and sauetted peppers... but she's got special mac and cheese, cauliflower pizza etc.
    It's new to me, but so far, I LOVE all the food. And I am a HUGE food SNOB.
