Hello! I've lurked around 3FC for a number of years, reading the articles/reviews and forums, and finally decided to join!

I decided to give MF a second try. I sort of half-a$$ed it a couple of years ago, and quit before any real progress had been made. I'm kind of excited to give it another whirl, but anxious about the initial feeling of *yuck*....if there's anything I hate, it's the feeling of hunger.

At 5'2", Medifast set my recommended goal weight of about 114, and I really think that's too slender for my body type....Did anyone else disagree with what MF recommended? Losing all my curves would really make me bummed out...

I'm not going through a center, so I picked my own goal. If you think the center is setting your goal too low, say so. I would hope they would work with you to set a reasonable goal that you feel good about.

Hi Juniper Berries,
It just happened to me last week. I ate way too much sodium one night, and gained 3 pounds overnight. If you went off plan with carbs AND sodium, 5 pounds of water gain overnight is definitely possible.
