Giving Medifast coupon is markting idea?
Got a question... Giving Medifast coupon is markting idea? Many thanks for any comment. My 2nd question... This happened to me today..
Someone told me I looked great, asked me what kind of diet plan I was following. I said what I was doing without namedropping Medifast..
"That's great, you should really try Medifast though!".
Um. Why would I do that, exactly? Considering that my way is working?.
Sure, there are many Medifast vouchers out there. Awesome way to save mola on Medifast now. I advise you to subscribe for their emails so you can get their newest deals. They typically mail once a month or 2..
I STILL have people say "You SHOULD do weight watchers" for maintenance when they see I use the Medifast products for a lunch or snack!.
To each their own... :-)..
WOW!!!! I just noticed your goal date!.
Which is why I know I'd never do well on WW!..
As of today I am down 50 lbs. It took me more than a year on WW to do that and I've only been on Medifast since the last week in December! Forget WW, Medifast is where it's at!..
If you reported losses at WW like you have on Medifast they'd probably kick you out of the meeting!..
I don't think Weight Watcher's itself is a bad program. It's the people who do WW. Instead of following the good health guidelines and eating healthy they use their points for crap. Even Medifast isn't above this problem. I have seen on these boards many times people who like to tweak and "modify" the Medifast program too. And then we get the inevitable why am I not losing thread.
Congrats are in deed in order! Amazing job..
I just wanted to add one little comment about WW. I am not pro or con any diet, except those that are harmful (ephedrine etc). It is a personal choice and we are not all the same..
However, I want to state that WW is not all about eating sludge and junk. I totally agree that people misuse the program to eat those things, but that is not what the program intends. It's not fair to criticize an entire program. Those people are abusing it and not being realistic about their weight loss, nor life changes..
I did WW for 2 years, following the Core program. It consists of only whole foods and no processed foods are permitted. In fact, bread was not even on program. I lost 50lbs in 6 months, and I only had 50 lbs to lose..
I have left Medifast for reasons of my own, and have not turned to any other program in it's place. I have chosen clean eating, as it is what feels good to me..
I just wanted to offer a little defense to a program that is as good as the people who use it properly. Just like MF...you get what you put into it..
Good luck all...you are all doing so great!..
Wow! Congratulations on your success! That is wonderful! Yes, it sounds a bit uncouth for her to just up and say that to you of all people! I don't know what my response would have been, but I probably would have stuck my foot in my mouth!..
This is why I don't discuss Medifast or my being on Medifast with anyone except my DH and the boards here. And I never eat a packaged Medifast meal in public. (The wrapper showing.).
I don't CARE about what others think when it comes to my choice to do MF. That seems to be the issue that self-important busy bodies always overlook - lol..
This strategy has worked really well for me personally. When asked what I've done to lose all the weight, I say honestly "calorie restriction and small, frequent meals" with no elaboration beyond that..
Good luck with your continuing journey and congrats on what you've done so far!!.
Oh, this is so true and I completely agree. I wasn't even trying to bash WW. My actual annoyance was her suggestion to switch programs so I could actually eat junk... ;-)..
People are so funny in an I'd really like to smack you upside the head kind of way. I've gotten that from people and my standard response is, "I'll consider it if I end up stalling on my losses, but this is working for me so I'm not going to fix something that isn't broken.".
Fortunately, most people are just plain happy for me and want to know what my secret is :P And I'm happy to tell them!..
I have done WW before and had success. When I tried it again, I just couldn't seem to get on track. I think it was because I could have anything I wanted and I needed a stricter program. I'm a carb and soda junkie and I really needed to get away from most of it..
I don't mind if anyone knows I'm on Medifast, heck I'm a walking bilboard. I've had so many people ask me what my secret was. I still have a long way to go but apparently you can tell already by my face and how my clothes fit..
My mom is going to go on the program too when she gets home in May. I've had 3 other people start it as well..
Yeah I did WW....might be good for t&m as some mentioned here few back...but Medifast is the one that I found works for me!..
I also tried WW and did not have much success, but in all fairness, I did not start the program mentally ready. And we all know that has a lot to do with any diet program. I thought I could eat one cookie and fit it into my meal plan, but at the time, I couldn't just stop at one cookie. They've changed the point system recently, and I hear that they take things like fiber into account. Either way, I do know some folks who had WW work wonderfully for them. But, for me, any time I want to lose a quick 10 lbs or so, Medifast is the way to go.
My cousin lost over 100 lbs on WW in about 2 years, but she has gained about 30 back already because she stopped following the program. I tried it didn't loose anything, it was really very depressing and discouraging. Just shows that not everything works for everyone. As for suggesting a different plan when the one your on is obviously working? Maybe she gets something out of signing someone up?..
