anyone using medi weightloss clinic diet???

My did Medical Weight Loss Clinic a year ago and is keeping it off. I think it's similar to Medi. MWLC has a great community/support on Facebook you may want to look into

I used it from May-August and lost 28 lbs. I have not been on it all of August (though I do MFP) and I have not gained a pound. I haven't lost, though, either. I couldn't afford $70 a week anymore, so I am trying to count cals/carbs on this site. A lot of low-carb haters on here, though!

Hi there...I'm on MWL and its been 6 weeks and I've lost 18 pounds...VERY excited!

This Topic seems to have died! I've been on MWL for 3 weeks now, and I would really love people to chat with. I agree there are a lot of low carb haters, and especially when they hear how strict it is. I worry about gaining it back when I meet my goal, but I really think that once I get there, if I'm careful, stay within my calories and only indulge on rare occassions and not daily I'll be okay. If anyone else is doing MWL, lets start a group, MWL forums are hard to find.

Anyone Still Doing this?? I just started and I am looking for a support group.

Hi there...I'm still doing this. I reached my goal weight 2 weeks ago and lost a total of 55 pounds since 7/27/11. I'm in week 1 of phase 2 and i can have carbs now again...not a lot but its still good. I'm mostly excited becauase I can peanut butter again and that is my absolute favorite thing in the world...he he he. I encourage everyone to keep it up...your goal is in within reach!

So glad to find a thread on this. I started at my local clinic on 4/4/12. My total loss so far is 49#. I'm trying to lose 105-110# total. I went on vacation in June and wasn't able to stick with it and have had a few weekend trips - and both of those things have really messed me up. I have gained on my last three visits. Not much, but still the wrong direction. I'm ready to really rededicate myself and get this done.

As far as that first week, I didn't have any weakness to speak of, and I was really surprised. I do take the prescribed appetite surpressants, by the way. I sometimes get weak on the diet now, when I exercise. I think the low, low calorie level is something your body has to adjust to. I don't feel it's unhealthy, though, which is something I would have thought before going on the diet. Most of the time I feel very comfortable and really light. I have my flexibility back and alot of my agility, too.

My advice is to push yourself through the first week. Just make note of your symptoms, and tell them at your next visit. There are several common ones that go away on their own as you adjust. I ate pretty much lean meats and fish that first week. Very little cheese, if any, and no "products," even MWL. I drank my water and stayed under 500. I lost 11# in the first week!

I think one of the keys is getting and staying in ketosis, so that your body burns fat instead of muscle. And ketosis does cause a weak and light headed feeling when you first experience it. And ketosis does begin to occur at about Day 4 of the diet. Just hang in there.

Hi, are any of you still doing this? I was on medi 2 years ago through the clinic, then got pregnant and just decided a week ago to restart but to forgo going to the clinic (day 8 today and down 8 lbs woot woot!) I would love to hear from anyone that is still on it!

Hey All!
I am starting at the clinic today...first visit. How are you doing on the diet? I really am not looking forward to stepping on a doctor's scale. I know there is a forum for Medi on LC friends...Looking forward to see how you all have been doing since you started, it will help me to hear about your success!

I did it without suppressants. You are not eating or drinking enough. You can do it!

Hi! I just started yesterday and I am so glad to find this topic. The MWL website doesn't have a forum so glad I can still use my fitness pal to track and journal. Congrats to all who are on the plan and are doing well. I will come here often for a word of encouragement! So far, I'm not feeling badly. I am not hungry, but I want to eat because that's what I am used to. I will keep you posted!

Eating is a hobby. You need to find a new one!! You can do it! It is really true nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. I lost 57 lbs following MWL. I have kept it off for 3 months. I am still working at it!

I'm so glad to have found this thread!! I've got my first appointment at a MWL clinic next Wednesday. I'm really excited. In the past I have tried Atkins and South Beach - both times on my own and both times with great success - but I didn't stick with it and went back to poor eating, so I gained it all back. I'm hoping that with this plan, not only will I have the same success, but will learn the maintenance tools to keep it off for the long term. I've read a lot of reviews and forums on MWL and almost everyone has had some pretty dramatic results. It is expensive, but I was originally googling a week or two at a fitness resort which was anywhere from $1800 - $6000. So, comparatively, this seems affordable and a better long-term solution. I'll check back in after I've started. If you all started a private group, please loop me in!!

Good luck! It was the best decision I ever made to join MWL. In regards to the money, just think of all the money you spend on eating bad. You will find that you will be in charge of your food and eating. It is powerful. I have lost weight before with weight watchers but never kept it off. I feel this time is different with the tools I have learned at MWL. I am finding that keeping the weight off is achievable. Stay on track and exercise. Tracking is essential!!! Smart Water is also key.

My friend were using medi weight loss clinic. He lost 20 lbs. But don’t know why he isn't continuing it. BTW now he says he uses the services of credit valley clinic. He always switches things without any reason. But still I believe that medi weight loss gives excellent results.
