GAINING on Medifast??
 

So. I'm new here... I've been reading for a while but am utterly frustrated and needed some support.

I started Medifast and have been on it for 18 days. The first two weeks I dropped a wonderful ten pounds (from 143 to 133) and for the past three days my weight hasn't dropped, it's been climbing up.
132
133

and just now, 135. (Mind you, it's night and I always weigh in the morning) but I see no change, I FEEL no change... I'm eating the left overs of a box of Medifast I got from Ebay and all I have left are foods I hate, which is contributing to my frustration. I mean, why do I eat this stuff if it's going to make me gain weight?! I just want to stop and eat carbs all night long now.

I ordered a box of New Lifestyle and have been waiting on that for a while, hopefully it'll arrive soon. Until then, I am so SO tempted to just eat normal food.

Hmm...I've never been on MediFast, but a couple of possibilities stick out. Isn't MediFast generally for people who have more weight to lose? Your BMI is already securely in the "normal" range, so maybe it won't work so well? The initial loss could have been because of the change in the kinds of food, like maybe you lost water weight? Or maybe the program IS working, and you're gaining these last few days because of your cycle?
