Medifast Weight Control Centers

Medifast elk grove is the best! Friendly staff that are so encouraging. They keep you motivated and on track. Thank you! Scott B.

I was skeptical at 1^st, but the program really works. In 12 weeks I have lost 57 LBS by sticking to the plan and changing my eating habits. I also had a hard time adjusting to the taste of their food, but once it I got used to it, I find it doesn’t taste bad and is quite filling. The real bonus is, because the food is high in protein, I have more energy than I’ve had in the past 10 years. This program is not cheap, but if you really want to lose the weight without risky surgery, it is worth the expense. The counselors are there to guide and encourage you through the process.

After having to leave the program early I am back to the program and on plan again. This is the best program around and it works! This time my wife has joined and we can support each other. The support system they have is great. I was so glad the Erica was still here! The staff is very friendly and supportive. There are plenty of good things to eat but it is very important to stay on track! Just do it!

If I could give more stars I would. My life style change started with one day waking up saying enough is enough I’m tired of feeling depressed, I went in for my appt to Learn more about the program and Erica was amazing she was so helpful and so supportive, I thought about it for a day and came back and signed up and started a few weeks later. I’m on week two and I don’t know when the last time is I felt this good about myself or this happy, I have made amazing progress so far I’m so glad I finally got the courage to say yes I do need help with this, I wouldn’t be this successful or motivated without the support of the team there, Maci is who I see weekly and she’s so sweet, I find everyone there so nice and welcoming and huge part supportive they give me tips on how to do certain things with my food. Amazing experience so far and I can’t wait to continue my journey.

I started Medifast 3 weeks ago… I look forward to my wiegh in every Thursday! I have been amazed and continue to work very hard at something so easy!

I started Medifast exactly 12 weeks ago. I’ve lost 26 pounds and only have 16 to go. I love this place, and I love all the ladies in the center. They keep me in check with my weekly weigh ins and consultations. Is it expensive??? It depends on how you look at it. If you think of it in terms of just the money, then yes, I would say it is a little pricey. However, I’ve not only consistently lost weight for the past 3 months, but I am gaining confidence and health and happiness along the way and THAT is something that I really can’t put a price on. But just in case you need a dollar amount to compare it to… all programs are customized to fit each person’s weight loss goals. My goal (42 lbs) put me at about $ 1K for the program which lasts for 79 weeks! That’s 18 months, so it breaks down to less than $ 60/​month. However, you do have to pay it up front — which I liked anyway. The pre-​packaged food is good (I prefer the bars and shakes) and runs about $ 90/​week, but that’s only for the weight loss portion of the program, once you go on maintenance then the weekly food costs is significantly reduced. I’ve got less than 10 weeks to go before reaching my goal date and I have NO DOUBT that I will reach my weight loss goal by then. The program is actually very easy to follow. It’s a no-​brainer for choosing what to eat all day. I’ve also not incorporated any exercise into my program yet, however I am looking at starting something soon so that I can hopefully reach my goals ahead of schedule. I’ve done lots of other weight loss programs in the past and have found that they all work to some extent «if you follow the program». The hard part is continuing to follow the program after the newness wears off. That’s not the case here at Medifast. The weekly check ins are key and I really appreciate having someone to talk to about what I’m doing/​feeling/​needing. It’s all related and they get that. Plus they also have great referral programs so if you decide to go in and sign up, mention my name! We’ll both get a discount. Whatever you decide to do just know that it’s a slow process and will take a while to get where you want to be. But the good news is that the time will pass anyway. I decided to make a change, for me. I’ll update this review throughout my journey in case you are wondering what happens next.

I’ve been on Medifast for 2.5 months. I started with a program they offered called 5 & 1 Plan. I liked the food and wasn’t hungry. This place is so wonderful! Professional Staff, so positive all the time. Thank you Medifast.

Submitted a request for information online on Labor Day and received a phone call the following afternoon. I was offered an appointment for the next day to come and check out the program. The following day I met with a counselor who listened intently to my health and weight concerns. I really liked that she was very familiar with all the diets that I had previously tried, including HCG. The Medifast program was explained to me and then I was told I could home and read the material and take my time deciding if the program was for me. That’s it, no pressure, no bossy sales person! I decided on the spot to commit to the program as it seems very structured with accountability, which is key to me. The counseling sessions/​weigh ins are weekly which will motivate me to stay on top of myself. I start the program tomorrow and I’m looking forward to my journey!

I have tried many diets over the years but for the first time have had awesome success! Thanks to my supportive counselor, Jenna, I am only a few pounds from my goal of 30 lbs. lost. She has been an amazing support on my journey and keeps me motivative. It has been a very positive experience and It is because all the staff members are kind, encouraging, and make you feel important. Their knowledge of the program and tips for success are what help me stay on track. The MediFast products and eating small meals frequently have changed my metabolism to work more efficiently. I would recommend this MediFast Center and product to anyone desiring to lose weight a safe and healthy way.

I’m very pleased with the MediFast program & staff. I have found the right program for me. I started June 15, 2015, & have lost 25lbs so far. There are so many delicious meals to choose from, along with endless lean & green recipes. I’m never hungry, always satisfied, & happy to be eating healthy. Britt is my counselor, she does a fantastic job of guiding me through this journey with tips, words of encouragement, & accountability. If you want to change your life for the better, schedule a free consultation, you will be happy you did!

11 pounds in one month jenna is awesome I don’t have to starve myself either just smart healthy eating

I love this center. Jenna is the best and Erica has been so supportive. It’s very inviting. All the counsellors talk to me when I go in even if I don’t know them. They call me by my name. I have reached my goal weight and it has been hard. Jenna has been so encouraging and real for me. I look forward every week to talk to her. She doesn’t require me to get mushy and delve too far into my emotions. She is very authentic and helpful. Paying for this program was a huge sacrifice for me and my family but it has been worth it. I look forward to the next part of this journey. It will be harder than loosing. Maintenance will teach me how to live with my food decisions. They don’t just tell you what to do they teach you. So blessed I get to do this.

I have been coming here for a month. It has been great. I love the support I get and it’s working. All of the ladies are so nice and they are very welcoming! I recommend this office to anyone interested!

This place is the best! Very helpful and they have supported me on my weight loss journey. I have a great weight loss counselor named Brittany P. – she is very supportive and gives great advice for breaking old habits or creating new healthy habits. I do not do well with whole group therapy– that is why Medifast is great, you have an assigned one on one counselor who helps you week after week. It seems tough at first but you get motivated once people start asking you what you are doing and how you are losing so much weight.
Just today someone called me «skinny» …I kept walking… She yelled even louder… «Hey skinny???» I turned around and she said «yeah you… keep up the hard work I can tell you have been losing weight.» It was a great feeling. I could not have done it without Medifast and Brittany. Plus, I am almost half way to my goal!
In short, I was sick of being fat, tired, and having little to no energy-​I just got sick of it– so I am doing something about it! You can too, if you want to make a change, stop talking about it and do it!

I have always had issues with my weight, especially after two kids. I did the weight watchers program, and it worked the first time but not the additional times I tried to go back. I got really havy and had enough. I had heard about this program, but hesitated because you had to eat their food. I didn’t have anything to lose, but weight so I gave it a try.
I signed up December 27^th and the team is so supportive! It’s easy to follow and stay on track. It was exactly what I needed! I have already lost 30+ lbs and I t feels great and I love that they offer a program that fit my needs. I also like that they monitor me weekly and do a body scan and measurements each month. It’s a great way to track your progress. I highly recommend it!

Where do I start, I absolutely love Medifast and everything about it from the food to my Counselor. Everyone at the Elk Grove center is so nice and supportive, especially my Counselor April. She is so encouraging! I look forward to my meeting with her each week. And the food, there are so many delicious selections!
I have struggled with my weight off and on for a few years and knew I needed a change so a friend shared the Medifast program with me. I just jumped right into it. April and the rest of the Elk Grove Medifast team have made it so easy for me, I feel so comfortable there. I have tried several different ways to lose weight in the past but the results I see with Medifast, I could never have even imagined. It has been about 9 weeks since I started and I am already down almost 44 pounds! I couldn’t be happier or feel healthier. This has definitely been a lifestyle change for me and Medifast has taught me so many valuable tools. I just wish I would have started the program sooner!
If you are looking for a lifestyle change, Medifast is the way to go! Through dedication and focus, you will see results that will amaze you with Medifast.
Thank you Medifast!

I have struggled over the last several years with my weight. A couple of folks in the office joined Medifast and have had great results. On April 23^rd, I decided to get on track once and for all!
From the minute I stepped foot into the Medifast office, the entire team was so supportive and incredibly helpful. I was fortunate enough to get assigned to April, my weight loss counselor. She is fabulous!!! She is encouraging, knowledgable, and great at offering tips for my success.
I have lost 22 pounds so far with another 15 to go! I couldn’t have done it without April’s, and Medifast’s support!!!

I have struggled with my weight my entire life. Always up and down. I am not overweight but I have bounced with the same 30 – 40 lbs my entire life. I finally decided to go with medifast when I had decided I had enough. My weight loss counselor was Britney, and she was amazing. I could not have asked for a better encourager and supporter. When I was feeling discouraged she said the right things to remind me of my goals. I am now a couple of months and 15 lbs from my goal weight and I could not be more excited. Medifast has helped me focus on my goals and get in shape.
Before medifast I was just generally trying to loose weight and just thought I was out of shape even though I worked out regularly. Well when I went in I did a body scan and learned that I needed to loose 30 lbs of fat and add 5 lbs of muscle! Theses specifics combined with a structured plans gave me the tools to be successful. Of course none of this could have been done without brittneys encouragement.
Now when it comes to the food let me just say it grows on you. The first few days are challenging but once you get past that it’s pretty enjoyable. I actually plan on ordering a lot of food on the plan after I am done, just because I like it that much. I also have a pretty busy life and travel for work a decent amount. This program was easy to stick to with a busy schedule and I have been successful!
Thank you medifast for your help and guidance on my weight loss journey. Britney I could not have done it without you!

I would highly recommend Medifast Weight Control Center in Elk Grove because it really works and our counselor Kim Standridge is so encouraging and knowledgeable.
First of all, our counselor Kim has a wealth of knowledge since she is a personal trainer and has competed in numerous bodybuilding competitons. I saw her pictures and they are really quite amazing and impressive.
Kim always gives my twin sister and I information on nutrition and exercise only a person with her expertise/​training can provide. Every time I leave from my weigh in and counseling sessions I always bring back new information pertaining to fitness and nutrition.
My sister and I are successful due to our AWESOME counselor Kim and the motivation she provides to keep us accountable so we can reach our goals.
MediFast needs to hire more employees like Kim Standridge because of her fitness and bodybuilding background.
Thanks Kim :)

I, like many others, have always struggled with that extra 20 – 25, maybe even 30 pounds, over what we should be. Always using the «well i’m super overweight or anything» as an excuse, I let myself feel bummed, but ultimately OK with having that extra 25 pounds on me. I decided to finally do something about it. I started Medifast just over a month ago, and as of today i’ve lost 20 pounds! (and if we are being honest, with minimal exercise on top of my daily routines) The crazy part? I enjoy doing the program.
The first 3 or 4 days are not super fun. You body gets used to the change in diet, plus a new time schedule to eating. After that it has been smooth sailing. There are also a ton of different foods! Shakes, eggs, pancakes, pasta style, soups, cereal, and much more! The reason i’m having great success with this are for 2 reasons. A) my consoler and B) the way the food program is set up.
My consoler/​coach, Brittany Perea, is as good as they come. Not only is she incredibly enthusiastic, and supportive, but also very knowledgeable about all things weight loss, and health. I’ve never been excited to tell someone my weekly weigh ins, but with her I am, mainly cause she gets so happy! She truly loves to support, and encourage all of her clients. For that I am incredibly grateful. If it weren’t for her, I would not be losing as much of this extra weight as I am. THANKS BRITTANY!
The program makes it very easy to follow. I’ve done weight watchers, and all that other stuff, but frankly it is to open ended. This program allows me to feel safe and secure eating all the different foods. Also, IT IS EASY! I can whatever meal I want for whatever time slot. I ALWAYS get to have a very healthy, but incredibly filling dinner. I just couldn’t say enough great things about it.
PLEASE, if you are like me, and use the «i’m not obese» excuse, go try Medifast out! I am so much happier. It works great for all lifestyles, and all sizes!
The Elk Grove branch is truly the one to beat, what a fantastic team there. Please go check them out. Thank you again to Brittany and the Medifast team!
