I’ve been off the Medifast program for a few weeks due to financial problems. The good news is that there is some light at the end of the tunnel and I was able to re-order a new batch of Medifast. To cut costs a little bit, I ordered the standard 4-week Starter Kit. The shipment arrived today! So I am ready to get back in action.
For those of you who might be considering Medifast as an option for quick weight loss, I thought I would post some photos here of what you can expect from your first shipment.
Here’s what will show up on your door: a big brown box!
When you open it up, you will find your packing slip, a Medifast quick start guide and boxes and boxes of food. You are going to get very used to looking at these boxes for the forseeable future.
If you order one of the starter packs, you will get a good variety of Medifast foods: multiple flavors of shakes, bars, soups and oatmeal. However, you will be missing out on the awesome cheese puffs and pretzel sticks. I may have to put in a mini-order just to add some of these products to the mix. 
I’m headed to the grocery store later today to pick up lots of leafy greens, vegetables and some lean ground turkey and Gardenburgers. I’m really looking forward to getting back on the Medifast regime.
Now that I have at least a 4-week window of Medifast, I am going to take a personal challenge and follow the diet 100% for 30 days. In all honestly, I’ve never followed Medifast perfectly. Even though I’ve had great weight loss success with Medifast, I want to see what it possible if I follow it to the letter and don’t cheat at all.
Since Medifast has a great reputation as a healthy quick weight loss solution, I want to see what is really possible in a month. I will be posting mini-updates every day because the readers of this site have been such a great encouragement to me. I am going to be brutally honest, so if I fail, you will be able to read all about it here.
So get ready for the 30-Day Quick Weight Loss Experiment. It starts today! Starting weight: 217 pounds.
Yay, congrats on getting back on track!! I just took a 3 week hiatus from MF and was able to maintain my already 70lb weightloss!! I started back on the plan yesterday (: Good luck, I know you’re going to do amazing!
What is in the “bonus pack”?
Thanks for the enouragement! Good luck to you as well.
The bonus pack contained 3 packets: 1 banana pudding, 1 blueberry oatmeal and 1 Cream of Broccoli soup. Not sure why it was in there. Maybe just to get you to sample stuff you might not normally order.
Thanks (;
