I have been researching Medifast this evening, and have one major question based on my experience with Nutrisystem. The Nutrisystem food just did not agree with me; I ended up going on Prilosec because of it. Nutrisystem did offer to take my unused food back, so I am not complaining about the company, just the food! Can anyone out there relate to and address this?

Thanking you in advance!

I've done nutrisystems in the past. I can tell you that medifast food is very different. Neither caused me problems so I don't know if one is better than the other in that respect. I think if you found a health coach or medifast center in your area you could try a shake before ordering and make sure it does not make you ill. For me personally medifast is much better than nutrisystems. I like the taste better and feel less hungry on fewer calories.

I'm in too. I've made it from size 18 to 14. I bought a new coat when I reached 14, I didn't really need it, but it was on sale and liked the way I look in it!! I'll have to think of a really nice reward when I get to size 12.

Thanks all, I need to see every one's success.

Hi Sue,

I've tried both; I'm currently on Medifast. I've tried NS, Jenny Craig, yada yada yada. MF is the only thing that works for me.

I had awful stomach problems on NS. My dr told me some people are more sensitive to sugar alcohols than others. It was the sugar alcohols that did me in.

HTH!

3 lbs this week. How is every one else doing??

TXNana, hope you kick Mable to the curb!

My goal is to get to my college weight again (laughter ensues), but I think I can do it! Or at least get close :-)

Oh, TXNana, I love the Mable comment. Too funny! I'm in for the 10 in 2010! I have 60 to lose, and have loved Medifast so far

TxNana...I love the Mable idea. I am now going to have to come up with a name for my extra body weight that could make another person. I had a friend that called her stomach Fred, because he talked to her so much.
I just started MediFast, this is day 3. Doing ok on the "honeymoon" part of the program.

Hey Y'all!

I just found this and would love to participate! Just started losing this month, am down about 20 lbs and my goal size is 10!

My reasons:
1. My hubby: He always says how beautiful I am, but I know he would love to see me slimmer and healthier.
2. My attitude: I would be so much happier if I looked better and was not embarrassed to meet new people.

My Rewards:
1. New clothes that actually fit my personality/body
2. Trip to Puerto Vallarta Mexico with the hubs!

For every 5 lbs lost
had to take one off - that’s disappointing

Mini Goal 1: 199 - 6lbs to go
Mini Goal 2: 185 - 20lbs to go - Memorial Day Challenge
Mini Goal 3: 175 - 30lbs to go
Mini Goal 4: 160 - 45lbs to go
Unrealistic Goal?? 155 - 50lbs to go

Hi all! I just started Medifast on Monday so I'm a newbie...but count me in! I think I'm aiming for about a size 8. I'm currently all over the place in terms of size, so I wouldn't even know what to say my starting size is lol, I guess somewhere between 12-16! Good luck to all!
