"After hearing about this company for quite some time I took a chance went in for the free consultation and was sold after paying approximately $1,600 to start I was on my way I spent approximately $100 a week to stay on program things were going great I was losing weight and feeling very good about myself after approximately a year I had lost about 80 pounds , at that time I had not yet reached my goal weight but ran into some financial struggle and had to go off program during this time I tried to eat right and exercise to keep the weight off but was unable to do so I was unable to go through the stabilization part of the program because I did not reach my goal weight after some time all of the weight and then some came back my financial situation have gotten better I wanted to go back in and get back on program ,this is where I became very frustrated and disappointed in this company , the caring concerned customer service they so proudly boast became a sorry we can't help you unless you give us another $1600 I quickly realized but this is not a company that cares about its customers. So if you have thousands of dollars to start up at approximately 4 to 500 a month you can get on this program and be successful with Medifast weight loss centers of Arizona if not don't waste your time because they don't care you can get online and get the same support the same food and the same Stabilization Program , you don't have to pay a huge amount of money up front and if you run into hard times they will always welcome you back and by the way I only spend about 300 a month instead of 400 a month and they actually have more food available online then they do at the local stores"^^ .
