I am restarting my Medifast program today. I lost 40 pounds from early August 05 to end of October 05. Gained back a few, and recently have been feeling it creeping back. So I'm going for another two months here...hoping for the best. I'd love to hear how its been going for you. Best wishes. How’s the Medifast going? I am restarting my Medifast program today.

On Medifast you eat very little solid food so it goes through you quickly. Once you start eating again, you'll build up several meals worth in your colon as it digests. The food is accompanied by water, and altogether that weighs quite a bit. I'm no doctor, but that's my theory. The weight gain was far too quick to be much else, and after I got it back I stabilized at that point (until the damned holidays!)

Why do you think you gained 9 pounds back right away? Did you change your eating? I'm a hypoglycemic diabetic, so it is easier for me just to have the shakes and carry them around when my blood sugar gets low. Hey, I’m on medifast for medical reasons.
