I was on Medifast but quit. Medifast automatically refills your order each month and, of course, debits your card/bank account.
Guess who just screwed herself out of 300 fucking dollars because she forgot to cancel?!!

It was impossible to stop them from sending things out.
I finally stopped it, don't remember how.

Bertha Venation
(21,484 posts)I lost 36 pounds last year on Medifast. I thought, why not try it again? I was two weeks into my first shipment and had only consumed about one week's worth of food. I could not stick with it. I got some encouragement from a friend to try another way to lose weight and so decided to ditch Medifast altogether.
So no, I won't be eating it.
But thanks for weighing in. Heh.
