STAGE 1: First Month on Medifast. I have been on MF for almost a month and have lost 1. The plan states you can lose anywhere from 2- 5 lbs a week. Are you staying on plan? Drinking at least 8 - 8oz glasses of water (there is a theory, not sure how accurate it is, but alot of people say if you drink a minimum of 1/2 your weight in water, it helps them lose more weight - i. I drink about 3 liters of water a day. I searched the threads and read every post that had the word stall or plateau in it.. Please feel free to add you ideas, because surely I am not going to catch all of them. It basically comes down to 2 things: re- examining how you operate MF and changing things up. What is a stall: Well, it appears after reading all the posts, we are talking about 0 pound loss, that stems over a long period of time, over 2 weeks. Its not having a 0 pound loss for just one week or one day. We are talking weeks . SO if you have a 0 pound loss one week- -- don't automatically assume that your weightloss is stalled. How much should you lose per week? It depends on the person (more below). MF states the average is 2- 5 pounds per week. I lose 1- 2 pounds per week.. Height/starting weight: This plays a HUGE role in how much you will lose each week. For me, I started at about 1. I expect to pull off a 3 pound week. So if you are tall and have a larger amount to lose, you should have bigger numbers each week, or may may not (see below). However, if you come to MF with only 2. Digital stimulation is a way to empty the reflex bowel after a spinal cord injury. It may also be called a 'dil.' It involves moving the finger or dil stick around in a circular motion inside the rectum. Wiki Medical Abbreviations 1. PDF generated using the open source mwlib toolkit.

And if your a guy- -- bleh, you lose quicker and more, that is a fact. Water: Are you drinking enough? The rule of thumb we see on this board is drink 1/2 your body weight. So if you feel that your weightloss has slowed, why not try upping your water intake? I found that I really need to concentrate daily to get all my water in. If I do not, then I tend not to drink all of my water, which is still about 1. I just think its good for the body and the skin.. Weighing foods: Ahhhh, this is a biggie in my opinion. If you are not weighing your LG foods, I would start now. Also make sure you weigh veggies/meats in the stage you are going to eat them and also make sure you weigh in grams for veggies. You may be surprised that you are over- eating or undereating (probably undereating). Are you serious about the weights? Meaning, is your 2 TBS of dressing really 2 TBS or is 2 over- flowing TBS that probably equals to 3? Can you make your scale give you more oz? I can, if I move the pointer for the zero more to the left. I gather a digital scale would make the above obsolete. This could be a BIG key in your success. Condiments- a subject for an entire thread.. MF. I could assume, and yes, only assuming, that if your 5 MF meals consist of the doctored recipes with additional condiments, it could possibly slow your weight loss. I have never tried any MF recipes that had any additional foods to it- so I do not know. I also know some people are completely fine if they use them.. I would examine how many of the doctored MF meals you are eating and then maybe stop for a week and see what happens. Optional snack- -- ahhh, another possible culprit. I know, sometimes this is SUPER needed. I get it and applaud those who can do it. I can't, unless its gum or mints to get that nasty taste out of my mouth. How many days a week are you eating the optional snack? Its completely allowed and not stating you should NOT have it, but again, if you are upset that your weightloss has slowed or stopped, maybe try to not have one everyday, or make the choice the lowest in carbs/calories. Those crisps sold by MF are about 7. Maybe try not having one at all for a week? Again, im not saying that those who have one everyday is wrong- just speaking to those who feel discouraged- and they can try this to zap the weight loss again. Exercise: Are you doing to much? Are you doing none at all? This would possibly play a factor in your loss. If you are doing too much, you are probably burning too many calories and your body thinks it is in starvation mode and may slow your weight- loss. Maybe cut back a little for the next week? I do not exercise at all, and probably has made my weight loss slower- -- so, if you do not exercise and think your weight loss has slowed/stopped maybe try to add 1. Did you have a great loss last week? So if your weight loss was low this week, what about the last week? I find if I lose 2- 3 pounds one week, I am bound to have a 1 pound loss week the next. For you, you may have a 4- 6 pound week - and then a 2 pounder and you freak- -- don't.. You should count every oz lost as a blessing. Medical issues: So, if you feel none of the above applies to you- maybe go to your doctor- if your weight loss stalls/stops for several weeks. You may have a thyroid/hormonal condition. Those of us who have thyroid, expect to lose slower than the rest of the bunch. Logging foods: I think this is key and be honest with what you log. Its important for you to be able to look back and see what you have been eating.
