Well, the hard part is over! Week 1 back on Medifast is in the books. And, if I am being honest, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. That’s not to say that there weren’t any temptations or little bites here and there, but I pushed through! It’s just like riding a bike.
I jumped back on Medifast at a great time! They recently introduced some new foods: one being Mac and Cheese! Yes, you read that right. Mac. And. Cheese. I was hesitant to try it. I mean how good could “diet” Macaroni and Cheese be. Well? It’s pretty awesome. It’s not the huge portion that I am used to {which wasn’t healthy to begin with} but it was just enough to give me a taste of something that I love. To bulk it up a bit, I have been dicing up some cherry tomatoes and throwing them in with it. Now, when the boys are shoveling their Mac and Cheese down at lunch time, I can join them instead of glaring at them the entire time.So how did the first week go?
Medifast Weight Loss Stats:
Starting weight: 167.2 lbs. on 1/1/13 {It pains me to write that number!}
Lost Week 1: 4.5 lbs!
Total Lost So Far: 4.5 lbs!
Current Weight: 162.7 lbS on 1/9/13
A 4.5 lb weight loss! What a huge motivator when trying to get through the first week! Not only do I have one week down with Medifast, I am also one week in both the See Ya Latte and New Year, No Excuses challenge! I’m happy to report that I have not purchased any coffee this week! Consider that $10 saved this week.
And before I forget, here’s a before picture. I can’t wait to see my progress!

Well done, Steph!! I’m so excited to follow you on your journey!
Thanks! Can’t wait to see how you did!
Great job!
Sooo awesome!! Way to go. I am at 187 and have about 52lbs to get to my goal!!
I’m having a very hard time on ignoring some foods that I really really like for the sake of loosing weight. Good luck to us in our journey to get fit!
Yay! Congrats!
Amazing! Great job! I gained crazy amounts of weight for all 3 pregnancies… I have to relearn how to resist indulgences. I’m still working on losing it. Wishing you all the best in your journey.
Way to go! almost 5 pounds in a week.. that’s awesome! FWIW, I don’t think you’re starting weight is that bad. I’m not doing a weight loss program (although I would like to) so I’ll cheer you on from afar and wish it was me.
you can DO IT!! and saving 10 bucks a week? thats like $100 at the end of the year!
Congrats on the weight loss! Here’s to continued success!
Great start! Keep up the good work.
