I am starting medifast tomorrow for the second time. I did medifast last year and lost over 30 lbs and then drifted away. So my friends and I are having a reunion this summer and I would like to lose some weight before hand. Hopefully I can commit to it this time around. I have until July 10th. Wish me luck....

I think that, if you work the Medifast program, it will work for you. As you know, the first three days are a bit tough, but once ketosis is in play, it becomes easier. I am planning a different strategy for keeping off the weight, and that is, to join WW for the last 10#, and then follow their maintenance plan. Medifast seems to want people to stay on their products, although using less of them. I will look forward to learning how to eat regular food and maintain my weight, via a point system, which seems more realistic than staying on Medifast products as outlined in their transition and maintenance programs. Best of success on your weight loss journey.

Incidentally, I have been on Medifast/Wonderslim since March 10th, and have lost 24.6# to date. I just found this website today, and really like it. The other Medifast forums, such as MyMedifast, are really slow, with not too many members posting everyday. Lots of inspiration and great ideas, here!
