New Medifaster!

  • Hey everyone! I just started MF today! Trying the soup now, not too bad! The shakes will take some getting used too...
    I figured today was a perfect day to begin, 1st day of the week, and 1st day of the month!
    I am currently 207 pounds (YIKES) and want to get to 137. So, a long way to go! My goal is to be there in 6 months, I know, its a high expectation, but I am sure it can be done with diligence.
    I have three kids, 7, 3 and 2. I want to be healthier for them, and they are my motivation. (Along with those really cute little black dresses I want so badly to wear...teehee)
    I would love to find a MF buddy to take the journey with! Look forward to getting to know you all!
  • Good Luck to you
    I've lost 12 pounds in a month. 7 lbs was the first week, then it has slowed down. Still faster than any thing else I've tried. Yes the shakes will grow on you.
  • Wahoo!
    Hey 12 pounds is awesome...getting under that 200 mark is fantastic! And you are right...regular dieting would not get you that kind of results! Thanks for your reply!
  • Hi Jaimie1980! I started today on 11/2 and would love a MF buddy other than my husband...

    I'm a mom of three girls 3y11m and twin 19m olds. I desperately want to be a healthy mom and regain my energy so that I enjoy playing with them more.

    I've tried a bar and will have some oatmeal next. I'm glad to hear the soup isn't too bad... for some reason I have a bit of an aversion to trying them. My first thought when eating the chocolate mint bar was, "I definitely will buy more of these" - they were good and not grainy/proteiny like I thought they might be.

    My goal is 130 (the upmost 'healthy' weight limit for my height & age (31 years old)) but of course I would love to see the scale tip lower... but, before the twins were born I got down to 130 (from 155) and felt fantastic about my image and my energy - so, I know I would be very satisfied with weighing 130 again. I can't wait to be in single digit size clothes again!

    I would really enjoy having another mom of 3 young children to buddy up with! Should we PM each other our email addresses or converse in this forum? What do you think? Congrats on your 1st day!

  • Hey Misty!
    I would love to be buddies! And we have so much in common! Three kids, same age, and starting at the same time! The good news is I lost 2 pounds the first day! The bad news is, I was really lethargic today and also got a bad headache. I took Advil and that kicked it. I ate my lean and green tonight, and I felt much better after that. I will pm you my email address, cause I need all the accountability I can get! Looking forward to our journey!
  • The DaVinci syrups help the shakes go down better.
    Lots of ice helps too!
    netrition.com has great deals and wide selections of s/f syrups.

    Keep Looking Up!
