I have heard that if you don't do the transition stage properly, you will gain back your weight. Has anyone experienced that? How many weeks it the transition stage? What do you do for maintenance the rest of your life? Just curious to see how many have kept it off for years......
Just to be clear, I don't blame Medifast. I blame myself for thinking I could use a diet for a 'quick fix' and not change my eating habits for good.
I am re-starting medifast this week. I lost 45 on Medifast last year. Silly me thought I could just take a few weeks off to move(from England to the US) and look for a new job... needless to say a few weeks turned in to a few months and I also 'found' 15 lbs that I had just worked so hard to lose. I love TSFL/MF and did not hesitate to start again. The first week is the hardest, if you can keep your self in the right mindset that week-- it does get better. I can also see where transition is KEY in this type of program. Once I placed my order I was almost relieved to not have to think so much about every food choice I was making. I am really glad I found this forum for support .
