Thank you for the recipes, it’s as if you gleaned the best recipes (from my perspective) from the medifast community and wherever and posted them here in one place. I’m overjoyed with the medifast program, but a little tired of my same ole L&G meals. Can’t wait to try these. Especially hummus…yum.
I started Medifast six months ago and it’s saving my life. I’m down 74 pounds so far. Pretty good for a woman in spitting distance of a Medicare card who is not that active. Like you, social occasions can be hard for me. I do want that glass of wine with dinner. But I don’t really care about ketosis as much as calories so I stop there and it hasn’t seemed to have slowed things that much.
Best wishes on YOUR medifast journey,
Terri
Hi Terri – Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your comment. 74 pounds is amazing! Congratulations! Very inspirational.
If you try the hummus, be sure to let us know what you think.

Hi,
I started Medifast on Nov 1, 1009 weighing 222.8; wearing a 3X top (22-24) and 20W pants. As of March 27, 2010 I weigh 160, down 62.8 pounds.
I went out to buy some dressy pants and jacket yesterday for Easter as I REALLY didn't have anything to wear and was so thrilled when I ended up getting a size 12 Petite pants and a size 10 Jacket!! What a thrill. I am 25 pounds from my goal of 135, I expect to be there by this summer.
I have made a meat muffin recipe that you might like. It makes 12 meat muffins, I use the teflon muffin pans, spray with Pam Olive Oil.
This recipe makes 3 Lean and 3 Medifast meals.
1# Extra Lean Ground Beef; 1 MF package each of oatmeal (any varity), scrambled eggs, tomato soup; whatever spices you like – I put in parsley flakes, dried onion, garlic powder, Montreal Steak Seasoning, a squirt of mustard, Worchestishire Sauce, (you get the idea). ( I also use ground Flax Seed and add 2 scoops, this does thicken it up some, so you might want to keep to 1-1/2 cups of water if you don't add the Flax Seed. ) Add 1-1/2 – 1-3/4 cups of water and mix well, the mixture will be sloppy. Fill 12 muffin pans equally full. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 – 45 minutes until firmly set.
Hope you like them. I eat them hot or cold. I can't eat all four at one time with my veggies so I usually eat 1 or 2 sometime during the day (which makes up1 Medifast Meal and partial Lean) and the balance at dinner.
If you have any questions write me at JugJock@Gmail.com or visit my Website at http://www.Healthforyou.tsfl.com
Wishing you all a healthy long life.
Dear Judy,
I’d like to try the meat muffins but I didn’t quite understand the instructions. what does it mean that it makes “3 lean and 3 medifast meals”? Does it mean that 4 muffins equals your lean portion of your lean and green, plus one of your medifast meals for the day? And how much is “two scoops” of flax meal? Do we use three oatmeals PLUS one scrambled eggs and one tomato soup? Or do we use one oatmeal, one scrambled egg, and one tomato soup? And do you brown the hamburger first, or let it cook in the muffins while they bake?
Thanks for your recipe, and congratulations on your weight loss. i just started on the diet one week ago and I’m having problems with abdominal cramps and diarrhea. You encourage me.

An update on me. As of 7/15/10 I have lost 96 pounds since Nov. 1, 2009. I am now down from a 3X/22-24 to a size 6 pants and S-M Petite top (depending on style) Not too bad for a 69 year old gal. I am 5 pounds from goal, but since I have started excercising, I have added muscle (which weighs more than fat) and so really feel I have meet my goal weight.
I am thrilled with my success and so are all my doctors.
Hey Judy! Awesome progress! I love to hear the success stories. You are doing great!
