Need to Get Your Medifast Product Order in a Hurry?

Effective May 1, 2008, you'll have a new option that will allow you to speed up processing on your Medifast order! This new service will be available for $9.95, and it pushes your order to the "head of the line" at our Medifast distribution center, getting your order to you faster! Basically, if a Client selects Expedited Shipping on their Medifast order before 1 p.m. EST, their order will go out that same day! Look for more information soon!

We Need YOUR Help! Let's Make a Difference!

The continued response to the Medifast Long-Term Tracking Study has been tremendous and we thank you for your support in this extremely important, and exciting, step! We hope that you will continue to spread the word about Medifast, so that we can welcome even more participants.

NOTE - When filling out the preliminary, short screening survey, please make sure that your team members and Clients are selecting "Take Shape For Life" when answering the question, "What commercial weight-loss plan are you currently participating in?"

We truly appreciate your efforts, your continued participation, and support in this milestone for the company!

Medifast coupon HA2004 and Free Week/Free Book on First-Time NON-BESLIM Club Orders over $250

Based on discussions with the CBDC and Team Global, we have decided to phase out Medifast coupon HA2004 and the Free Week/Free Book on first-time, NON-BESLIM Club orders over $250, and here is why.

HA2004 was originally introduced to match a Medifast offer. This Medifast offer no longer exists, so we have decided to replace it (HA2004) with our new 25OFF offer, which gives you $25 off orders $150 or more. This new offer (as well as our others) meets, or exceeds, any that Medifast promotes. We are confident that you will find it beneficial to you and your team!

The Free Week/Free Book offer is being replaced by our standard BeSlim offer. With the additional savings, free shipping on BeSlim orders over $200, AND Rewards Points, we feel that the BeSlim Club benefits are far more attractive. Reminder - if a Client's first and second BeSlim Club order is over $250 (after savings), he/she will receive the free week and book.

Remember, these historical promotions are being discontinued as of May 1, 2008. For a full list of available promotions, please visit Documents on Demand (Promotions, Programs, and Incentives; Understanding Available Promotions).

Opportunity is Knocking!

You may remember that late last year, PURE Weight Loss Centers (corporately-owned by L.A. Weight Loss) closed, which posed an exciting business opportunity for all of our Health Coaches and Healthcare Professionals.

Presently, SOME L.A. Weight Loss Centers (which are the L.A. Weight Loss franchised centers) are deciding to close, and the possibility exists that L.A. Weight Loss Corporate may, at some undetermined point, decide to close all of these centers due to the current economic climate.

For the time-being, be advised that if you have an L.A. Weight Loss Center near you, this would be the perfect time to begin developing strategic relationships with its owners, managers, and other employees. If they do decide to close, their clients will need a program and their employees will be in need of an employment opportunity. Why not make the transition easier for them by introducing a superior product, program like Medifast.

The first step is to find your local L.A. Weight Loss Center(s) (there are over 450 locations nationwide) and present the Medifast Take Shape For Life Opportunity to their center managers/owners. Let them know that there is a superior opportunity out there for them and their clients.

When presenting, be sure to touch on the following:


- We are the professional coaching arm of Medifast, Inc.
- Our Medifast products are clinically proven.
- If they sign up now, they'll receive a special offer - $55 off a purchase of $250 or more of Medifast products.
- Take Shape For Life is about long-term solutions: the BeSlim Lifestyle and Trilogy of Optimal Health.
- They have the full support of a dedicated Medifast Home Office.
- We have a full array of Tools and FREE training program.
- Best of all, they will be in business for themselves, with unlimited earning potential.
- Minimal startup cost.

This could be a fantastic business opportunity for you, but please keep in mind that they have not gone out of business yet. That means that, at this point, you should merely be building relationships and raising awareness about Medifast Take Shape For Life. If, and when, the time comes that they do decide to close, you will be in excellent standing to transition their employees and clients to Take Shape For Life.
