Ok, is it just me? I cannot stand the new medifast "conversations with yourself" commercials. They feature a series of different people as "before and after", but they project it differently.

They feature the "before self" behaving emotionally at the success they had with medifast, and then the feature the "after self" thanking themselves for going with medifast but they are in the same room, 8 months apart and spliced together.

I hate these commercials because it makes it all seem so phony. A woman standing there and talking to herself about the success she had before she even had it! And she's crying about it!

Maybe I'm just jaded but it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Thoughts?

I agree!! I hate them. It does sound fake.

Hmmm I haven't seen them... I will have to be on the look out

Hate 'em. This probably sounds crazy but I think "new me" is kind of sanctimonious.

yeah i saw them and my hub said we should have made a video at my before and i can tell you i would not have even looked at the camera nor believed i'd lose a pound....and i admit i am having trouble seeing myself in the mirror or a reflection right now but i would have said to the girl on june 6 (the day i had surgery) see what happens when you do what the dr said to do.....

I haven't seen them - I will have to pay closer attention! I did medifast before the band and lost 25lbs in 4 weeks. I was surprised - I wasn't hungry after the first few days. The problem was I put all the weight back on and then some after I did it for four weeks.

Those commercials bother me too. Just creepy, sappy BS.

I know someone who did it and did great but she didn't have a lot to lose. Also they put her on a ridiculous low calorie diet even less then any of us eat.

I don't mind the product, I'm sure it works, but I just can't stand the commercials behind it.

Same.

I hate them, not just because they're creepy, but it goes to show how planned the whole thing it was. It was like "yeah we're going to hire a fat actress and do whatever necessary to get her to lose weight for our commercial".

You better believe they don't care if they maintain that weight loss or not, either!
