Any other new medifast members in here. i am just starting day 5 and it's not and surprisingly things are going pretty well. just wondering if there is anyone else out there too? write please !!

I started the first also! A good friend (now my Lifestyle Coach) lost 57 pds. In 6 months, which was a good testimonial. Hoping to find a list of what brand name foods can be used for lean and green so I am not eating the same stuff all the time. I hate to cook, so the "5" MF products work well, just having the same lean and green all the time. I am not a fan of a few of the soups I've had...

Welcome both of you!

I'm not new to Medifast at all - I've been at it since April. I am getting back on the plan full-time after several weekends of cheating over the holidays. My birthday was New Year's Eve, and I went out of town and partied like a rock star. Happily, I still LOST weight all along, just not as much as I could have.

My favorite lean & greens are pretty simple -
grilled steak/tuna steak/swordfish/salmon over spinach salad
3 egg omelette with whatever veggies I have on hand
3 pickled eggs over salad
turkey meatloaf stuffed with spinach
chicken soup made with fresh salsa and lots of green peppers

My new favorite is a tofu veggie soup I make in my Vitamix blender - 2 cups broth, 1 brick tofu, seasonings, 1 1/2 tsp corn starch and 1 box thawed frozen spinach or 1 jar drained roasted red peppers or 1 container baby bellas - dump it in the Vitamix, blend on high for 8 minutes and dinner is ready!

Good luck to you both! This is the longest I've ever stuck to a program, and I'm still motivated to keep going!

Welcome! I am not a newbie but I am on plan with Medifast and really like the program.

Hello,Im really not a newby either but i just started again about 2 weeks ago. So far im doing really well. i can feel myself shrinking!
Hope everyone is doing good also. I had a spinal fusion in october so tomorrow i am able to start swimming so i am looking forward to that.
I love the peanut butter bars which i am out of ..
not sure if i like the soft serve or not.

Hi everyone, I've been on medifast for 6 months and I'm down 65 pounds If you're looking for good recipe/meal ideas, Lyn's blog is fantastic, and I use Sandy's Kitchen (google it and click the light recipes one...I can't post links yet!) the medifast recipe section. Some really great ideas to keep from getting bored with the l&g and also the meals themselves.

Give yourself some time to adjust to the new foods, you'll find your tastes will change over time. Welcome!!!!

I just ordered my food today and am looking forward to starting. Also just found this site and am intrigued by all the great info here.

Congrats to all those making it work! and welcome to the forum.

I find I like the soft serve better as shakes.

You are not the only one... actually I have never been able to prepare the soft serve food packets in a manner that is acceptable that is not a shake... and I have tried. It may be that I have no good way to make fine-ground ice.

I decided that making the soft serve as a soft serve was just more work than it was worth. They do make nice thick shakes, though. Try a little cocoa powder in the peanut butter - Reese's shake!
