  • Hi Maryanne, Yes, I researched DietDirect and the program is very much like Medifast. In fact the WonderSlim products very similar. I'm only on week two, so I have a long way to go! :smile:

  • Such great advice! I too suffer from this paralyzing fear, and I think it's actually hindered my weight loss in the past. I've always been the "fat girl with the pretty face," or so I've been told. I'm on a journey to lose 70 pounds. I've been overweight my entire adult life and I can't hardly imagine what it'll be like to…

  • Hi there! When you say packets, do you mean packaged food? I'm on Medifast and, while I do consume 5 of their pre-packaged products every day, I also get to have a "lean and green" meal. So I get protein and tons of veggies on top of the Medifast products. They call it the "5&1 plan." I really like it so far! :smile: Best…

  • I'm on day one of Medifast. Before committing to the program (I'm with a Medifast Weight Control Center), I actually ordered some of the food to try it on my own. While I did well alone, I felt I would do even better with counselors supporting me along the way. My issue has ALWAYS been cheating and not caring about the…

  • The same thing happened to me. I've found that if I "zig zag" with my calories, then I lose 1/2 pound more per week. I keep under 1300 calories per day, but at least once a week I go over (maybe 1800-ish?). I think it's about "shocking" your metabolism so you don't hit a plateau. I think it's also better to change your…

  • I can't go without sweetener, since I love tea. So I use Truvia! :)

  • Sounds like you've already made up your mind, and I agree. It's not worth losing that much weight so fast--most likely it's going to go all back on. You're better up doing what you've been doing. Lose the weight gradually, keep it off forever :)

  • It totally depends on your body type. Some women can carry more weight and still be healthy. Based on my body type, my doctor said that a healthy weight for me would be 150, even though I'm only 5'5''. You can always talk to your doctor, but just listen to your body. If you feel healthy at 145, then great! If not, aim for…

  • Starkist Tuna Lunch Creation! Be sure to buy the one that you mix yourself--it comes with a packet of reduced-calorie mayonnaise and relish. I skip the relish and use 1/4 of the mayonnaise packet (12 calories) and it's a great, satisfying lunch for under 200 calories :)

  • Please don't take any pills or supplements. :( Most of them aren't FDA-approved, and it's not worth the risk! I actually learned in my Nutrition class (and from experience) that protein keeps you satisfied the longest. Carbs may make you feel the most satisfied, but the effects aren't nearly as long-lasting as protein. So…
