Well, it's looking like we are building up enough Supplement Losers to warrant a chat thread again. It's a nice way to get to know each other and yap even about stuff not directly related to dieting.

So anyhow....I just got all my molars removed. Gotta wait 6-8 weeks, then they'll fit me for dentures. I'm glad I have this program cause it would royally suck trying to figure out what to eat for 2 months without it. It will be interesting doing it this time since I'm not working for the summer. Hopefully, I don't go nuts trying to keep it straight.

OK everybody, time to start sharing a little bit about ourselves. So, what's up?

oh my, all of your molars... how are you feeling? I agree that this is a pretty good time to be on the program 'cause shakes and oatmeal etc... are easy to deal with.
I am personally doing fine, just ajusting to Medifast and school. I am taking two summer classes (chemistry and statisitics) they are both very stressful but eventually I will achieve my goal and become a nurse so it's worth it
take care!

I was going to return to college this summer, but, with the troubles I'm having with DD I decided to wait until fall. Also, I bombed on the math portion of the entrance exam. Pretty funny since I had to straighten my bosses math out all the time. I don't use algebra though, so, I just have to bone up a little. I found "PurpleMath" I can do online.

I'm feeling much better today. I hate taking Lortab and usually don't even fill the scrip, but this was just too much pain. I think I'll be OK without it today though. I'm also glad I didn't go to school this summer cause this way I should have all this work done and not have to worry about having it done or how it looks while at school.

So how much longer till you graduate A? Sounds like those are 2 good classes to take on a lite schedule. I can't imagine those along with a full load. Good luck to you going after your dream.

Good Luck to everyone else too. Now get in here and share with us.

I am not sure when I am going to graduate because I am still waiting to get accepted into clinicals but am looking at a couple more years-
I am having a heck of a time in MAth this Summer also. I am taking Statistics and thought it would be easy but I was wrong oh well...
How are you feeling? I hope better.
I am still on track with the Medifast and am down now from 264 to 252 in a little over a week.

So I am getting really excited to get started I just wanted to ask you all a quick question, do you think that there is a weight loss difference between MF and WS? Or do you loose at about the same rate? I am sorry for all the questions...I just am very excited to start and I don't want to mess this all up? I also wanted to ask you all about mixing MF and WS...just for some variation...I was not intending on using there pastas or anything, just the shakes and bars, I was also still going to count carbs, and calories the MF way. I also wanted to know what the recommended amount for that was? Sorry for so many questions, Thank You very much!!

Hi ladies! I am new to MF (today was day 3) and it is going well so far. Summer seems to be the perfect time for me to start & so I am jump in with both feet!

Today started week 5 on medifast. This is my second time around. So far so good. I am starting to feel weak of will and wanting most of all shredded wheat. Weird!! Anyways...doing a lot of praying. Has anyone been eating the newer bars (the ones you can eat more than once per day)? I think I am ready to start exercising. Gosh, I hate to exercise! Wish I could find an activity that I enjoy so it wouldn't seem like exercising. I love to dance so I thinking of starting salsa lessons again (years ago!). How's everyone doing OP?

Welcome Stacy. You should be past the rough part if it's gonna happen. Keep in touch.

WTG Romans. Keep up your chin, but, if you slip a little, don't beat yourself up. Could be a whole lot worse than shredded wheat. I know, I've been there.

Well, I've taken the leap and got on an online dating site to try to make friends. Kinda hectic and strange. Had to figure out what to put down for "body type". I put "few extra lbs" since I'm not at goal yet, but, my girls told me everyone would think I'm really fat and using a fake or old picture. We looked around the site and settled on average. I've met a couple of people who tell me I don't need to lose weight. Anything to get in a girls pants I guess. Just trying to keep my mind straight and focus on my goal.

Trying to get the oldest started in a new business and the youngest to graduate high school. Things are a little more hectic around here since I quit working, but, it's worth it since the youngest and I are getting closer to each other.

Hope everyone has a really great week.

HELLO HELLO!

week 6 on medifast. Plugging along! operator...tht takes courage to do the online dating thing. I admire your confidence and your weight is just about perfect! don't sweat that.

I am just today back into my old pair of work scrubs! feels good. Of course it always feels good on the way down the scale. Still struggling to get the exercise thing started. on my way to church after lean and green. adios

my youngest has been out of the crib for 2 nights. this depresses me. the crib hasn't been empty in 4 years. silly huh? I am feeling a need to eat anything i can find. Resisting!

Hang tough Romans. You can do it. This is just the first of many transitions you'll have to face in life while still maintaining a healthier way of living.

Lots of hugs.

Hello, fellow MF-ers!!

I'm just finishing Day 3...one little shake to go.

As I wrote in my introductory post, I'm returning to MF after a year and a half. After my first experience with MF, I was successful at maintaining my loss for six months-- but then stress drove me back to some unhealthy old patterns. Life is now smoothing out enough again for me to focus on taking care of myself.

I am thrilled with these new crunch bars! Hooray for a new, more portable MF meal option!!! And from what I can gather, there are a couple new products due for release this coming Monday--pretzels and cheesy poofs, anyone?

When I returned to MF and this website earlier this week, I couldn't remember my former 3fatchicks password, but did find my old posts on this forum. During my first MF adventure (11-07 thru 2-08), my user name was camorgana. I really enjoyed reading my old posts. It's like I can travel through time and be my own coach...

I'm looking forward to sharing with you all! Have a happy Friday tomorrow, everyone! Congratulations on taking care of the most important person in your life--YOU!

Medifast isn't being very "fast" for me but I am plugging along at 2 lbs or so a week the last 3 weeks. better than putting on 2 lbs a week! How's everyone doing?

Good Monday morning, all!

It's been a very good first week of MF for me. The first time that I did MF, I only lost 3 pounds the first week, but today is Day 7 for me and I've already lost 10 (!!). I will confess that it was during 'TOM'--so that undoubtedly affected things. AND I know not to expect much this coming week. BUT: what a nice way to start.

I just ordered the new products (available today)--pretzels and poofs. I'm thrilled with the new more portable products--the crunch bars and now these. The first time I did the program, I sucked it up and spent a little more to have the ready-made shakes. That made the program work for me BUT airplane travel was difficult. I would make muffins out of the oatmeal and pudding to take with me on flights , but now with the bars: I feel (literally) unstoppable. AND they are delicious. Anyhoo--I'll give you a review of the new products by week's end . Barring any crazy slams at MF (I know I got up first thing today to order them...but don't know how many people will be headed to the MF site for today's release of these new items), I should get these tomorrow or Wednesday--I live in Philly, very near MF central.

I hope you all had a great on-plan weekend. Keep going. You are all worth it, and more!

Hi, my name is Georgia and I just started MF today. I initially lost over 40 lbs. just through changing the way I live, but I have been on a plateau for MONTHS now. I'm needing a shock to my system to lose more weight, it seems. I have PCOS symptoms and have a really hard time losing anything more than 1 lbs a week (or month sometimes). We'll see how I do on MF.

I've had two shakes today and now I'm hungry again. I'm choosing to eat celery in between, and I'm going to have 1200 calories a day (adding extra to my Lean and Green meal). I'm tall, so I think I need a little extra. If I get to another big plateau, I can adjust from there.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
