OWINGS MILLS, Md., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medifast, Inc. (NYSE: MED) announced today that Carrie and Charlotte Hoesing of Lacey, Wash., have been voted the winners of the Medifast Mother-Daughter Challenge. Carrie and Charlotte will receive a 4-day, 3-night spa vacation at the luxurious AAA-rated, 5-diamond Phoenician Resort, a $1,000 team-total shopping spree and a one-year supply of Medifast. The contest began on Monday, June 4, 2007 with voting on the Medifast website (http://www.ChooseMedifast.com) concluding on Monday, September 3, 2007.

Carrie and Charlotte have always been a team and are currently competing for grades as they pursue degrees in accounting together. They also work in the same building as junior accountants. They applied for the contest because Carrie wants to take her daughter on a special birthday trip to Las Vegas next year, and Charlotte wants to ride horses again like she did as a child.

"We were so excited when we found out that we won the Medifast Mother-Daughter Challenge," said Carrie Hoesing. "We had the support of our entire family and community. This has been such a life-changing journey and both Charlotte and I have Medifast to thank."
