Hi Everyone
I am new to this forum and have some questions for you. I am really wanting to start the Medifast diet and have had my 1st appointment with a center and was shocked after all I had read on the website how much more it was at the center verses online.....So my question is how many of you are doing it through a center or through the website. I have another appointment this afternoon and need to make a decision. Any thoughts to the benefits of either or negatives. Any input would be grateful. My husband feels the one on one every week will make a difference for me succeeceding but I feel I don't need to spend an additional $1,000.00. Really torn at this point because I can not fail this time!!

Thanks for your advice!

I do not use a center, I am using the medifast foods through Take Shape For Life. If you visit the tsfl site, it will put you in touch with a FREE health coach you can utilize who will help you order the food, be there to answer questions and offer support. My first 30 days was $298. and Kristie and Krystal, my coaches, are AWESOME! or search for best life 4 usa

I use a center. It holds me a lot more accountable than me alone. I did however sign up with a special and paid 650.00 for the program and about 55 a week for food. Its a 72 week program so the way I see it its about .12 a day plus food!

Whatever you choose feel free to join our 6-week challenge I'll probably add another one after the 6-weeks and heck I already missed the first week b/c my food took so long but I'm excited for you for even making the commitment to look into it! That's awesome! I'm not near a center to take advantage of the center benefits but I've been using the internet and I made up a few forums since I've been on and the coaches are awesome but I make it fun to write on this website about my experience and everything and it helps! Plus I made a bet with my boyfriend to succeed and I get a reward this month if I do it and mini rewards every two weeks It's a little motivation too...but I feel like the real motivation will be when I start seeing results! I can't wait! Good luck with whatever you choose and come to the 6-week challenge forum when you get your food!! See you there!

Thanks for the replies...I think I have decided to try it through Take shape for life and if I feel it is not enough I will go back to the center. Will be placing my 1st order today....how long does it ususally take after you place your order?

Thanks again!

It took a good week for my food to arrive after I placed the order. It comes from Maryland, so I suppose it depends on where in the country you live, but they say that it takes a week, to ship.
