I have been on the Medifast program for about 3 weeks and have lost over 15 pounds! This is the easiest program ever! You don't have to think about it! I have about 66 pounds to go and plan on sticking to this program until it is gone for good! My health coach is the most wonderful part of the program. She is my support and my cheerleader. She celebrates with me every pound that I lose! Another great part of the Medifast program is the website and the chat room. I recommend this to anyone looking to lose weight, be it 100 plus pounds or 20 pounds. So far the food is good. You will learn tricks to prepare it so it tastes better from your coach and the chat room. The new Crunch Bars are the best!

Hi Nikki, Thanks for posting your story. I've been overweight since my 20's( I'm 42 now), and have honestly never really done anything to try to lose the weight, other than trying to eat healthier and doing some walking. I've decided it's time to get healthy, and have been researching different plans~Medifast seems to have the best reviews of most of them. I feel like a more structured plan will be the best for me, and it seems to have everything. Anyway, would really like to keep in touch and see how you're doing~ I think this works better when you have support:) My e-mail is moonlight_gypsy1966@yahoo.com Anyone else who would like to form a "sisters" support group is also welcome to e-mail.

I've been reading the reviews of Medifast and thought I would toss in my own thoughts. My wonderful doctor told me I was obese and suggested Medifast. I was reluctant to go on a powdered diet but knew I needed to make changes. With the exception of the bars, which are decent - they are reformulating many of them and I give the new ones mixed reviews - most of the food is in powder form. You mix with water and go from there. You prepare one meal of fresh ingredients a day. I needed the discipline of portion control and I needed to change behaviors and habits. My coach was helpful & supportive. I saw my doctor regularly to keep track and be sure we didn't go off the rails. I did not like the food - the powdered eggs were the worst! (LOL) Yet, I loved the results. In about 3 months I dropped 30 pounds. I've kept it off for another 4 months. This is not a plan for everyone, but I would recommend it - just go in knowing that you may want to be selective about which meals you order and you will do well. My next task is to get my husband ona plan that he will follow through and become healthier. We have new grandbabies to play with! Best wishes for your own dieting success.
