Medifast Forum Discontinued

  • It's official - the medifast community forum has been discontinued. Hopefully my medifast friends will join me here. Hope to hear from you soon.
  • Just curious, did Medifast officials say why they discontinued the Forums? Weren't they well-used?
  • Wow! That's terrible. Community support was a huge factor in my success with Medifast.

    Now that I'm back on plan I still need the support. I found a Facebook group and also here. I love having a ticker and a profile and getting to know other people going through the same feelings.
  • Greetings Daily peeps... I have found you...just a quick post to let you know i have followed the bread crumbs, post more tomorrow. I hope the others follow as well. Thanks Gina for starting the thread-If you build it- they will come! More later...
    Hugs, Nat
  • They also closed the shops in San Antonio Tx. They are not making the income to keep them open. They are promoting Take Shape For Life
  • Looks to be back up today. That was strange.
  • Well - I think I am going to keep posting on both sites - so hopefully you won't have to read my stuff too many times...

    Besides - any and all encouragement and support are welcome.
  • Very Sad~

    I was going to say the same.

    I have been doing low carb the past year, and then did Nutrisystem until I ran out of $$....

    and then I have tried WW since Christmas, but the site is hard to use and
    I get confused about what to eat.

    Back to packaged foods. I remembered that when nI did MediFast I was
    never hungry, and I really enjoyed the forums......

    And they are gone. How assinine!
    Nutrisystem did the same, and a lot of people quit.

    What is wrong with these companies? The support and help from
    members is so helpful, and almost KEY for me!

    I will look for the FB group and decide if MediFast will work.
    I have been up and down for months and hate it. My highest, 220, was just last week (the 226 was over a year ago) and now at 213, I am scared that
    it will pop back up.

    I am feeling desperate!
  • My husband talked me into trying the Cabbage Soup Diet this weekend. Now grant you I was doing fine on Medifast, but I went along with it for him. So I spent Sunday starving and told him Monday morning it was back to Medifast for me... I wasn't going to be hungry all week.
  • Lol, I was wondering about the Cabbage Soup diet.
    But actually, the soup in Kirstie Alley's diet (Organic Liaison) was
    good and very filling. I might have to dig out the recipe.
  • My DH claimed I ate 10 bowls of soup on Sunday along with all the fruit. I think maybe 6 bowls, but I was still starving. The soup was good - it just wasn't lasting. And since it is all vegetables, I could probably have it for my green if I choose to do that.
  • When I first lost weight with Medifast almost 6 years ago, the forums were a lifesaver! I'm sad to hear it's gone.
