Comment on UPS Sucks by Ella

OMG after such a frustrating day with UPS, your article sums up exactly how I feel about UPS. 2 months ago, I ordered some stuff from a US website. Just like you, I paid for shipping when I checked out already. When UPS came to my door with my package, they wanted to charge me $25. My dad was home at the time, and he didn’t understand what it was for so he told UPS to come back again tomorrow, when I would be home. UPS then declared it “abandoned” and put it up for auction…they also wouldn’t refund the shipper and so the shipper wouldn’t mail another one to me!! What a stupid misunderstanding!

Oh probably. I was quoting from my (terrible) memory. “court death” is the important bit though.

Was it not this: To challenge the Avengers/humanity is to court death…

I know an Adam Warlock movie is too much to ask for but man would that rule.

It’s definitely too much exercise on Medifast. An hour intensive workout is around 500 calories, and on MediFast you’re eating around 900-1000 calories/day. That means your workout will take every single scrap of food energy you’ve eaten for the past 24 hours and burn it up, leaving nothing left for the rest of the day and definitely pushing you into starvation mode.

If you’re already exercising 6 hours/week I’d suggest switching to simple calorie counting. That’s what I’m doing now and it’s incredibly successful and I can eat whatever I want, if not as much as I want.

See this post for more details.

But absolutely, positively do not do that much exercise while on Medifast. That diet is not for people like you.

I do karate and have been told I am testing for a higher blackbelt rank in a few months. Is a two hour karate class 3 times per week too much exercise on Medifast?

Thanks but still can’t help compare myself to most people doing MF that are losing twice the amount as me. It just makes me concerned something is wrong with me or I’m doing something wrong. Just makes me think I could lose this amount of weight or more by just eating healthy and exercising. But thanks for the advice. I am grateful that I’m losing weight period but it does make you question spending this much money on MF when the results are minimal. Thank you for your response. I appreciate you taking the time. Hope you are well. I will keep going because I know it will be worth it.

20 lbs in “a little over 2 months” is 2 lbs/week. That’s about as fast as a doctor will suggest you should lose weight safely.

You have NOTHING to complain about. Weight loss isn’t a race. You’re losing 2 lbs/week, so if you want to lose 100 lbs it’ll take you 50 weeks. Big deal. It’s worth it.

Keep it up, you’ll get there.

Sooo frustrated… I have about 100 lbs to lose and it has been a little over 2 months now and I have only lost 20 lbs. I have not cheated or anything so I am concerned why I am not losing more. I don’t exercise that much so should I exercise more? I don’t eat snacks or anything extra except spices and every once in a while either Splenda or Truvia. I just wonder why my weight loss doesn’t compare to most who do this diet. I am worried I am not in ketosis or there is something I am doing wrong. Any advice?

Thank you so much for your replies to me. I really appreciate it. I was just asking because I was going to use it sometimes as my healthy fats. Sometimes I struggle to find healthy fats I can eat on the program. What did you usually eat as your healthy fats when u were on the program? Thank you again!
