When you place your order, you can choose single packets of the Medifast meals you would like to try. That way you aren't buying an entire box, then finding you don't care for the food. I like the chili and the vegetable beef soup a lot. Like the others mentioned, I add spices to suit my taste. With colder weather on the…

Awesome job!!!!! And great idea! I'm closing in on 60 and it feels awesome!

Within hours of placing my most recent order, I see the new blueberry muffin! Too late to change the order, so it'll have to wait until next time. It sure looks good!

Thanks!

You've already planned one of things I was going to suggest: the RTD shakes. I drank them a lot when I was out of town for a week. The Cinnamon Pretzels are another good choice - they won't melt in your purse.

As long as we're sticking to the lean and green guidelines, I don't think we NEED to count calories. I count them because it's good training and a great habit to get into before reaching my transition and maintenance phases.

Thanks for your insight! I had been losing at a pretty good rate, so it wouldn't surprise me if my body was stopping and taking a "breather" of sorts. I really like that bracelet, too. It would be a good physical reminder about making new habits as I reach for something to eat.

"Also, too many people are self-righteous about weight loss. It's part of the whole 'fat-shaming' culture. If you are overweight, there must be something morally wrong with you, and if you are thin, you must be more virtuous than others, and if you want to go from fat to thin, then you *must* do it the 'righteous' way, or…

Medifast is not the same as Slimfast - someone equated the two earlier.

I said that JUST eating less doesn't work for everyone. There's more to it than cutting calories. OF COURSE you don't eat more and lose weight. You apparently aren't really reading what I've said very thoroughly. I don't spend $339/month on Medifast. I agree that would be ridiculous. I'm not sure where that figure came…

Then I really didn't get your sarcasm. My point was that simply eating less and working out more doesn't work for everyone. *I wasn't saying that the opposite of your statement is true at all.* So your sarcasm there is also lost on me. Many people cannot eat gluten, dairy, corn, etc. Simply eating less will not help those…

"eat less + work out more = lose weight..." That statement isn't always the answer. Portion control DOES make a difference, but simply eating less food doesn't always work. There are many reasons, most of them medical. It's a rather arrogant position to take that your approach is THE right one for EVERYONE. It worked for…

I agree. This isn't a place to criticize others for doing what works for them. Please stay positive. Anytime someone reverts to old eating habits, the weight will come back. It doesn't matter what "diet" they were following. You can't really make that something exclusive to VLC diets. As far as being tired all the time…
