The one thing I have taken away from Optifast during my weight loss journey is to use it as a platform to better eating and better habits all around. Even when I do eat a my one meal, I am now trying to make myself more aware of the nutrient content and how it's going to be beneficial to me. I look at food now as fuel and…

First week I dropped 10lbs and then 3-4lbs there after. I need to loss 100-110lbs and did not want to get any type of surgery. I'm glad that I chose Optifast to really use as a platform for my weight loss. It's taught me so much in the 14 weeks I have been on the program and I am never bored of frustrated. If you put your…

Welcome! I am doing Optifast under close supervision with a Dr who also has given me much information about nutrition. For the first 7 weeks I was on Optifast 800 (4 shakes and 1 bar) and now I have one meal + 2 shakes + 1 bar. I am on week 14 and down 52lbs. Everyone's metabolism and body composition is different but I am…

Waiting a few days to resume a normal, balanced diet and work out schedule again. This way when all said and done and my body resumes what it had been doing prior to Christmas that will show where I am at. I did not feel guilty at all eating various things in moderation. As most of you are on MFP, you're in a much better…

I'm on the Optifast Plan on Week 13 and allowed one meal. I decided this past weekend to eat "normal" at my family's Christmas get together under s few conditions ( to work out at least 90 mins) and keep portions limited. I was so scared that my cheat day would mean having the scale go up but it did the opposite and I…

Hi NYC Cat!!! I started week 13 and right now my stats are SW 275.5/CW 224/GW 175 ( 5'9" 46yo) I never thought in a million years I would be over 50lbs down since I started the program. I know trying to lose 80-100lbs is a daunting task, but please make sure you take one day at a time and never EVER give up. It will happen…

My cravings have not gone away. However with each week (11 weeks of weight loss) they have diminished and I have a better perspective as to WHY I have these cravings. I agree with everyone who says to keep things into perspective and focus not on obsessing, but focus on limiting portions to still satisfy those cravings.

Walking six days a week (min 30 mins) and throwing in intervals of jogging has been great in helping me lose weight, stay on plan, and keep me motivated. Completely agree with Skrib69: "Just do what you enjoy and get something out of it rather than not doing anything and getting nothing."

Just finished week 8 and survived Thanksgiving with flying colors! Love the shakes and the results. SW 275/CW 233/GW 175

Thanks for the updates! I go for my Week 7 weigh-in and actually bumping up my caloric intake (per my Physician) to 940 calories a day where I can incorporate 1 meal a day. For those just starting out, please realize to take it one day at a time and not to think of it as a race. Looking forward to everyone's progress. MDW

Curious to see how's everyone doing who started Optifast in the past few months? Started Sept 28 SW 275/CW241/GW175

I'm on week 5 of Optifast800 and I'm really enjoying the program. My last weekly weigh in was on Friday (10/25) and I lost -5.5lbs this week. I feel fantastically great!!! I cannot say the plan will work for everyone, but it does for me. I am under medical supervision and glad my insurance picks up the actual Dr's visits…

A packet of Chicken Boullion and a cup of hot water does the trick. You sip it slowly and by the time you finish you won't be as hungry. It's become my savoir while on Optifast.

Hi all. First post on MFP and wanted to let you know I started Optifast800 (4 shakes 1 bar) on Sept 28th. So far, so good. My weigh in's are Week1 -10.5 ; Week2 - 5. Tomorrow (Friday) is my Week3 weigh-in and totally psyched! Some stats about me: I'm 5'9" SW275 / CW260 / GW160 I really am enjoying the program. I've begun…
