Lili, if it makes you feel better, I was never notified either. I think Jana mentioned in the last thread about the price increasing on July 1 and I immediately called them. I believe everything went up about $1, with the variety pack going up $10. It is now more cost effective to buy the variety pack, then to buy things separately. Very frustrating, I know. They should have sent emails out to everyone, but apparently they did not.
Miriam, I can not wait to be in an 18/20. Actually, I can't wait for the day I can go into a grocery store and not be glared at/analyzed for cart content. I'm a bit miffed because that happened to me once again this morning. I *almost* opened my mouth to tell a woman, "you should have seen how fat I was 40lbs ago," but I held my tongue. Some people can be so rude. Seriously, how is my fat affecting you??
Missy, congrats on not falling OP by eating birthday goodies. And yeah! I'm not the only one who loves the oatmeal!
Gatorgirl, 3lbs in 2 weeks should be doable. I wouldn't fret too much about it.
So I ordered some capella drops and they arrived yesterday. I started with a root beer float flavor in the vanilla shake...not too bad. Extract (and SF syrup) is better, but these will definitely help with those vanilla flavors that I dislike.
Question: many of the recipes call for using egg beaters. Has anyone found a recipe that uses the actual MF eggs instead? Can that be done? I would really like to find something to use them in. I found a recipe this morning for using the Chili in a bread, so I am definitely going to do that soon. I'm odd in that I like to eat the foods I dislike the most first, so that I only have good stuff left.
Off to exercise. I went for a "dog walk" this morning, but didn't get anything aerobic out of it, so I guess I'll do a WATP video. I hope everyone is OP today!
on your halfway goal Lili!!! As far as the price increase goes, I'ld be pretty POd too. I feel kinda bad. I knew about it from being on the MF boards but I thought it had been brought up here too for some reason. Must be shift work dimentia. I'm really sorry everyone. Still, if your order had already been placed, then they should have honored the prices as quoted.
Missy-As far as the Oatmeal goes, you and Jen are just sick, sick individuals. But, if it will make you two happy, I have some leftover cement in the garage from when I put up my fence that y'all can share. I agree with you on the "just say it" part. I had to at work to stop everyone from offering me food. Everyone has been really supportive and lately a little jealous.
Miri-I'm with you on the shopping. I just went to Kmart and got 4 new pair of size 16 pants for work. I really don't want to be out there mooning everyone on the blast pattern. Well, unless I mean to. I also got 6 sports bras and some Tshirts. As a special 1/2 way to goal reward, I bought 2 pair of FitFlops. I got a black pair after work on Tues. and liked them, so I got another pair in grayish silver.
Jen-I've seen a couple of recipes with the eggs in them. If I run into them again I'll be sure to PM you.
Well, I gotta finish some house work and do my Medi-baking for the long work week ahead. Love y'all.

It probably was mentioned here. I just forgot about it and didn't know when the price changes would take effect. If they'd emailed me, I would have remembered that. You'd think they'd at least email those in the VIP program seeing as they have a standing order each month. Oh, well...I'll just transition a bit earlier than I thought I would. I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm going to do and how I'll do it...but I'll get to goal eventually...with or without Medifast. I'll still chat here anyway! You guys can't get rid of me that easily!
Hey Jenn. I found these two recipes that use the Medifast Eggs.

Mix all ingredients, add water, and form into 2 circles on a cookie sheet. Smooth the tops.
Bake at 375 forapproximately 10 minutes. If you wish for a browner top, you can then put under broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Sorry, but they do require some cooking. But it looks like they'ld be worth it.
We should start an oatmeal lovers thread. Love it! It is just like old-fashioned rolled oats, the kind that take 20mins to make. And I am a food purest... a product of the "Hank-a-for-a-hunk-a-cheese" saturday morning cartoon guy from the late 70's. Hey LiLi, I agree with operator, they should honor a price quote definatly. Be a little bit of a squeaky wheel. Maybe one or two more emails with some good big words (the kind that you have to check your dictonary for) Good luck!
Operator! I am so going to try that oatmeal bread, except with the Chili soup instead (and some minor changes). I'm really excited! Getting rid of chili and eggs in one swoop!
Hello to all! I just found this site yesterday. I am currently waiting for my shipment to arrive (Mon at the lastest I would think). I have tried everything out there and have been temporarily successful in the past. At this point (post 2 babies in 3 years) I need strict control to break my out-of-control cycle. My good friend started Medifast and suggested it. So, i am super excited about the prospect of getting motivated again. I am praying for the Lord to prepare my heart for the journey. Any basic suggestions?
Welcome Romans! I see you are from Fl, I am originally from Lake Wales in central Florida. My suggestion is to blend ice in your shakes to make them like a slushy. I really like the swiss mocha with ice a little instant coffee crystals. Good Luck!
Ms. Day... You Rock! Thanks for introducing yourself, your 115 lose is such an inspiration!
Romans828, welcome, remeber Phil 4:13. You'll do well, you already have a great mindset, a great mentor, and lots of friends here!
Operator, at the risk of sounding really clueless, what are FitFlops? Are they like flipflops and we are just geographicaly slightly off?
They sound so healthy...
Last week is spent $750 on MY truck(new plugs, wires, distributor cap, it was missing on a cylinder that DD didn't tell me about, oil change was 1500 miles past due and such). I let my DD use it b/c someone tried to steal the car IIIIIII bought her in the apartment complex in the neighborhood I told her I didn't like and screwed up to electronics..... That's another rant in itself.
So anyways.....This morning I head out to work at 5:30 a.m.(did you know I'm NOT a morning person, now you do) and there is a dent right by the gas door of MY car. There is also white paint and a dent on the rear corner of MY truck. They match up perfectly!!! MY daughter hit MY car with MY truck. AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! Yeah, Lili, that explosion you heard this morning in TX wasn't fireworks.
Now IIIIIII have to get MY car fixed. So I guess it's a good thing that I forgot to cancel these OT days that I didn't want to work in the first damned place. Now IIIII need the money. So does she. Our birthdays are on the 8th and this year I'm getting her a bike, helmet and outfit to wear to work. Why? Cause she can no longer afford gas since she has to pay me the costs of repairing the damage to MY car while still paying rent and car payments on her car that is sitting in the garage that she can't afford to repair. But they did let HER off work early tonight while IIIIII'm working freaking OT.
Do ya think the little girl ain't wishing she had gone to college now.
Oh, oh, oh, that's not all. So how does she try to apologize. By getting me a Deli Sandwich for after work that is sitting in my fridge stinking it up so good. Now I know why some animals eat their young.
Rant over. I'm hitting the shower and going to bed.
Hope everyone is having a Happy 4th of July. Stay Strong and Keep the Faith. We can do it.
