I Started Medifast
I started Medifast, and I must tell you that the first 3 days were the worst. Today was day 5, and as I expected, it has gotten much easier. Since I have done Medifast before, nothing much about it has been a surprise to me this time around. The 1st day was pretty good, as I was too busy at work to even think about being hungry. The second day was kind of tough and I found myself looking at the clock anticipating how much longer I needed to wait until my next meal. The 3rd day was nothing big, and as of the 5th day (today) all has been going well.
Yesterday I had a crisis going with my adult child and found myself driving over 250 miles, and since I had the foresight to bring some extra Medifast bars and cheese puffs I did alright. Since my son had not eaten all day I took him out to eat and was even able to eat a Lean and Green Meal, while on the road. With all of the stress I had yesterday, it was amazing that I still was able to lose 0.8 of a pound in one day! Now that I started Medifast, I can tell you that I feel really good about myself.
I had been overweight for over 20 years and I was able to lose over 115 pounds using Medifast. The sad part is that despite all of my time spent watching The Biggest Loser…I was one of those people that gained much of my weight back. For months I watched my clothing get tighter and replaced with newer and larger clothing. Since I threw all my “fat” clothing away as I lost my weight last year, the shortage of clothing is what really made it obvious to me that I was gaining my weight back again. (Which is why I have always advocated getting rid of your fat clothing.)
As the months went by, and I watched myself get overweight (again) and I was unable to stop the binge eating and the anonymous trips to the fast food drive thru, and all the other things I have done to myself. Now that I have started Medfiast again I feel as if I have reached a state of dieting Zen because I am no longer listless. Maybe that is why I did so well during my time in The Marine Corps, because there really is not all that much to think about with Medifast. I wake up, I eat Medifast.
As each day progresses I simply reach into my Medifast drawer and off I go! Like my time in the service, I have a plan of the day and I simply stick to that plan. There really is not that much to the whole program and since I started Medifast again I can simply say I am much more relaxed about my weight. No stress, no major shopping. No major much of anything. I may have gained my weight back again but the difference this time is I know what to expect and losing the weight is no longer the issue. I know that Medifast works and this time around I am going to spend more time doing what it needs to keep the weight off my waistline.
I have lost 7 pounds in 5 days and I know the first week shows the most weight but I still feel so much better about my body. In just 5 days I don’t feel bloated and I have no acid-reflux at all. I must say that I am very happy with myself because I started Medifast.

What You Get When You Order Medfifast
What You Get When You Order Medifast has been asked of me many times. Since I am doing Medifast…yet again I decided to take advantage of making this quick video about what comes when you place an order. The first thing I want you to not worry about is what the box looks like. You do not have to worry about the whole world seeing that you are trying out Medifast, because the only way they will know you are using Medifast, is if you tell them.
Although this is my second time around using Medifast, I do not hold anything against the diet for not working. Although I once again have about 70 pounds to lose, I realize it is my fault that I gained all my weight back. I over-ate and I drank too much beer and I really ignored everything I know about how to be healthy. Actually…going back onto Medifast is really a relief because it is so easy to use. I really enjoy not having to run out and by a fast-food meal everyday. I am thrilled about a few things, like acid reflux
Because I ordered Medifast I know that in the next day or so I will stop having acid reflux. I know that because the food plan is so healthy, I will be back into my nice clothing once again, really soon. Medifast works and the difference this time is that I will work harder, and smarter about keeping the weight off this time.
If you have any questions about what comes in a typical Medifast order, watch the video below. Remember that you do not have to order anything you do not want to because you get to pick what you want. If you are wondering what you get when ordering Medifast, watch the brief video below.

Lose My Weight…(Again)
Losing my weight has been something I had wanted to do for many years and I had little success until I discovered Medifast. I lost well over 100 pounds with Medifast but I had trouble keeping the weight off and I gained a portion of the lost weight back again. It took me about 5 months to lose the weight and about one year to gain 75 of those pounds back again. I will not blame Medifast for the weight gain and I will not say that Medifast is a bad weight loss program. What I will say is that Medifast is a great weight loss program and that I have an issue that I am trying to work out with my eating and my lack of motivation to get in some form of exercise. Despite my present weight gain, I will not label Medifast as a Yo-Yo Diet, because it was simply my fault. I will not blame Medifast for my choices.
I stuck with the program really well for the five months I did the program and I was too naive to realize that my obesity issue was more than simply being overweight, but an issue with my poor relationship with food. I love to not only eat, but I love to eat all the foods that are not healthy and I can’t stop eating them until I am stuffed to the gills. The sad part of it all is that no matter how much I eat, I am ready to eat more food very soon. Being hungry is not a requirement to eat and when I eat I find myself at a point where I do not want to stop… until I am stuffed to the point of being comfortable.
I lost a great deal of weight using Medifast and I will never say it is a bad program because it does exactly what it says it will do…which is to help a person lose weight. I will not say that I am a failure because I gained my weight back after Medifast… because I DID NOT follow the Medifast transition diet. When I lost all of my weight I just went right back to what got me fat in the first place. I blame myself for my weight gain, and once again I look to Medifast to help me get the weight off again. This time though…I will be better and not abuse my body again, as I once again start my journey to lose 75 pounds, I turn my attention to Medifast.
Looking for the best price of Medifast I realized there have been changes to the pricing structure, since the last time I ordered Medifast. Looking to Medifast coupons I came up with the following price differences between what they were, and what they are now. I heard that Medifast will be soon phasing out ALL coupons and simply start using the Medifast Advantage program. Below is a quick reference for the old program compared to the new program.

When I first heard that there were going to be changes to the Medifast, I thought for sure I was going to end up getting priced gouged. I must admit that although the structure of the new Medifast Advantage Program may have changed from the old Medifast VIP Program, there was not a massive raping of pricing. I was very happy to see that under the new program a person could pick and choose what meals would be received instead of just getting what was shipped. Being able to pick out the meals that I would get for FREE was a pretty good idea.
I still do not have enough money to make my initial order for Medifast, but I do know that when I place my next order I will take advantage of re-starting the program under a new account, and take advantage of the Medifast advantage program because it simply is the best way to get started on Medifast. I plan on starting the program again in about 14 days and I invite you to join me and help me and follow my progress. Maybe we could cheer each other on towards a final weight loss, I know I could use a friend help me!
