DISCLOSURE: I am receiving Medifast products free of charge in exchange for my reviews and all opinions are my own.  I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

I am just wrapping up my first 2 weeks of Medifast.  It was a moderate success, I lost 4 pounds.  I had the hardest time with drinks- water only is hard on me, I love coffee and diet sodas, and giving them up completely is hard.   I have not been going to the gym the past few weeks as my son has been home, but now that he is back on a normal schedule, I can be as well.  I’m a girl that loves being on a schedule, so I know it will be better for me when I am back.  Being a carb-queen, there is a lot to get used to, a very different way of eating.  Lots and lots of veggies, almost no dairy, very few snack options, and a lot of water.

You get nearly all of your food in the mail, but you add in your own fresh foods and one “lean” meal a day, which you can get ideas for online or in your booklet.  This is tough at first, but will help you with portion size and control in the long run.  Remember- we didn’t get overweight because we DON’T like to eat, am I right?
