Medifast | Week Ten
Embarrassing as this is, but, before I started Medifast, I didn’t eat many veggies. Strike that. I didn’t eat a variety of vegetables. I was a corn, cucumber, carrot girl. But after being on this weight loss journey for the past ten weeks, I have gotten over my hang ups over certain foods. Instead of saying, “Oh I don’t like that,” I have been giving things a try. After all, if I stuck to my “favorites” {two of which aren’t on plan}, my dinners would be boring. And, if I’m being honest, I wouldn’t be doing as well as I am.
Vegetables have become a huge deal to me. I have been trying different ways to cook them but I keep coming back to one certain thing. Balsamic vinaigrette. It’s my new BFF. I use it on everything. And my most favorite thing? Balsamic Chicken and Vegetables. We eat this at least once a week. At least. It’s so yummy {and easy!}.
Recipe: Balsamic Chicken and Vegetables
Ingredients
- 3-4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 green pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red pepper, sliced
- 1/2 yellow squash, sliced
- 1/2 zucchini, sliced
- handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
- handful of fresh green beans
- Balsamic vinaigrette {I just pour it all over!}
Instructions
- Slice veggies and arrange in casserole dish {you could also use a roasting pan}. Toss with Balsamic vinaigrette.
- Place chicken on top of veggies. Coat with balsamic vinaigrette.
- Cook covered in oven at 425 for 30-35 minutes {until chicken is no longer pink}.
It’s seriously that easy!
And now, the weigh-in…
Starting Weight: 186.2 lbs
Month 1: -13 lbs
Month 2: -7 lbs
Week Nine: - 1.5 lbs {164.8 lbs!} Total of -21.5lbs!
Goal Weight: 130-140 lbs
I’m also working on a DietBet Challenge! Our weigh-in is tomorrow night and I am really, really nervous about. Even though, I have lost 8.5 lbs since we started, the weigh-in is at night. I weigh first thing in the morning! This should prove interesting. There’s still time to cheer me on via my cheerboard!

So happy for you girl! You are rocking this weight loss! Cannot wait to hear how you do tomorrow night with your DietBet weigh-in! Fingers crossed.
Thanks for the chicken & veggie recipe, it sounds AND looks amazing! I will definitely be making that this week!
This is the best and easiest lean and green I have found! Can’t get enough of it!
Way to go on the weight loss!!! Of course, I thought you looked fabulous when you visited last week – the numbers are just icing! Loving this recipe – aside from the greens, I might actually get DH to try this!
It’s so nice to finally see the scale keep going down, down, down. I have never been this successful on any weight loss plan that I have been on before!
Way to go momma.. I need to find something to get rid of mine. Perhaps if I got out of this funk and depression it might help
Being in a funk and being depressed do not help weight loss at all. I know that first hand. You will pull through! I know you will!
Yummmm I love me some yummy, healthy recipes!
So so yummy! And super healthy!
Anything chicken-balsam works for me!
Hi do you think the advantage enrollment is the best way to go really? Just ordering for my husband and I for the first time. There are so many diff coupons that I can’t figure out the best way to go.. Thanks
