Meatless Options on Medifast

March 10, 2010 Obesity

Gained a bit

February 27, 2010 Obesity

For the first time since I started Medifast, I weighed in more than the time before. I “gained” .8 pounds. I’m not too worried because it could be water weight or I was wearing heavier clothes or maybe my lifting is causing me to gain some muscle weight. I’ve had a couple of times when [...]

February 18, 2010 Medifast

My 6 week Medifast review – I’m down 31 pounds which is great but it also reminds me of how much further I have to do. Until this week, it’s been easy. The Medifast food is ok but monotonous. I haven’t been too hungry and I’ve stuck 100% to the foods on the plan. On [...]
