Stomach flu
Last week I had a nasty gastrointestinal bug that put me on saltines and Gatorade for three days starting on Wednesday. After it was over, I tried eating my Medifast food, and it seriously upset my stomach every time. I wound up eating bland carbs like white rice and noodles on Saturday, (trying Medifast food in-between)…

Silly trick that seems to be working for me
I grew up in a large family - 8 kids, six of them boys. At our dinner table, there was a mentality of eat your first serving fast so you could stand a chance of getting seconds. So I struggle with eating slow. If I focus on it, I can do it, but it's easy to fall back into the old habits of large bites and mindless…

Insomnia
I have finally started feeling the promised increase in energy (I got the flu right after I started Medifast, which caused me to feel lethargic for about 3 weeks) but now I am having a hard time sleeping. I have always been the one who slept like a baby no matter what, and have never encountered insomnia for more than a…

30% off BMF today
My husband has been thinking about picking up an armband, but was waiting until another sale came around. I noticed that they have a kick-butt one-day sale price today - 30% off, so if you have a friend or loved one thinking about buying an armband, today would be a good day. When I bought mine, they were on "sale" AND I…

Treadmill and Step Counting
I was running a bit short on my target steps today, so I jumped on the treadmill (too cold outside) and after a mile my BMF had only counted around 500 steps. I had mentally counted up to 1000 which was at about half a mile. My activity minutes and burned value matched the machine values pretty close. Anyone have an idea…

What do you do when you're still hungry?
I'm only on day six, but today I've been as hungry as I was on day 2. I wound up eating one of my meals early because the hunger was so distracting, and I've had my optional snack too - all 5 calories of it. All I have left is my Lean and Green, which I'll be eating soon. Yikes. So - what do you all do when hunger strikes…

New to Medifast - Started on Monday
I'm not new to MFP - I had lost 51 pounds until mid-year in 2012, but after my daughter's wedding in May, I ate too much leftover cake and kicked my cravings back into high gear. Have been slowly putting weight back on, and after several short-lived attempts to get back into a motivated and focused mode, I decided to try…

Fortune Cookie
I had Chinese tonight after months of not having it. I spent 30 calories on the fortune cookie. I love them. My fortune? "You have a charming way with words and should write a book." What a coincidence...I already have!

Another newb
Just popping in to introduce myself quickly. I'm new here, not new to weight loss troubles and attempts, but new to this tool, which I'm using in conjunction with a program that requires me to count calories. I have made an attempt at adding a ticker, so we'll have to see how it goes. I wish there was a preview button!
