So sorry for the huge font. It wasn't that big when I cut/pasted it...

Hang in there!.

Once you "get adjusted" it really gets easier..

Good Luck! YOU CAN DO THIS!..

Welcome! I suggest taking 30 min and rereading everything. Giving it all a second good read through really helped me. And don't worry once you get your "medi-legs" under you, you will be sailing with the best of them!..

I am with you! I started on Saturday and Monday was awful - headache, weak, etc. Today was a little better and I sure don't want to go off plan and go through that again! Good motivation...

Okay... drumroll... I lost 10 lbs!!! It has gotten better..

Here's my question... Where are all the "rules?" Someone mentioned limited exercise. Where is all the info?.

Thanks!..

Quickstart guide on medifast1.com. or someone here may have a link. But that website has all the info you need. Also you may be getting getting to much lean, depending on what you eat. You get 7 oz. of the leanest proteins (most fish, etc.), 6oz of leaner protein (like chicken), and 5 oz of lean protein (like steak).



Congrats on your first week.

!..

Go to the Success Tools tab on the top of the page and all the info you need is there......nutrition and exercise. Make sure you are getting all of your lean and green in. Doesn't sound like you are getting enough green...
