Motivation, Inspiration, and Rewards
 | Hi, Renee. Sure – but do try to get at least 5 total fruit/vegetable servings and 3 total calcium-rich foods/beverages daily. |
 | If you can’t eat all the snacks …can you eliminate them..too much food for me. |
 | Hello angelo17, Additionally, below I’ve put together some instructions for how you can create a shopping list based on the foods you selected: 1. Go to https://www.trimdownclub.com We hope you find this information helpful. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. |
 | can anyone help me please just joined this diet and one I don’t know how it works, two, I can see the menu, but it seems a lot of food , do you have to eat it all please? and where do I look for my ingredients to make a shopping list, is there anyone I can email for further information, please? |
 | claramax-you need to say positive words. No negative words allowed! LOL. Seriously, if you tell yourself how good you feel when you eat healthy food, you will be successful. I change my menu list every week because i get bored eating the same foods all the time.. So i create a new menu every week. I found that the program is a bit difficult to maneuver at first, so i clicked on every link and then settled on what part of the program i like. One thing i hate more than the dentist… is the videos that promise you the world and say absolutely nothing. i just watched one about: the five foods you should never eat. honestly, she could have said in in 3 minutes but she drug out the video for 15 minutes. i turned if off, after 5 minutes, so i have no idea what the foods she was talking about are. anyway, stay focused, positive and enjoy eating healthy foods. i hope my ideas work for you. |
| | Hi, caggettc, and welcome. Coffee and tea are “free” beverages, meaning you don’t need to count them in your menus – just whatever you add to them, such as whiteners and sweeteners. Hot chocolate can be selected in the Menu Planner “chocolate milk,” and definitely does count as a food-type item. Soft drinks with sugar or artificial sweeteners are not encouraged, but you can make your own with carbonated (“soda”) water, flavor extracts or fresh lemon or lime juice, plus a natural low-carb sweetener. To see what sorts of sweeteners we do encourage, try our article https://www.trimdownclub.com/the-best-way-to-sweeten-your-tea. |

 | HI all I’m new and wondering how these forums work as I’m not seeing a lot of exchange between members. I may not be using the site correctly and would appreciate any guidance. Thanks |
 | I am having a real problem because I do NOT eat snacks, never have, and I find that the menu is therefore just too much food!! Have had a weight loss on the first week though, but just can’t stuff it all down.Ruth h 74 |
 | Hi everyone, Just wanted to post a bit for some motivation for those just starting. I am currently on week 16 and have lost a little over 30 pounds with the Trim Down Club. I had lost 25 before I began by just counting calories, but was getting bored with the same old thing, that’s why I started here. These 30 pounds have come off with very little movement on my part. You see, I had polio as a child and now suffer from post polio syndrome which is lots of pain. I also suffer from lymphoedema in my left leg and sometimes cellulitis with blisters all over that leg. I spend a good share of my time sitting in bed (pain is less this way) When I am not in bed I am in my electric wheelchair because I can’t walk and have bad shoulders from pushing a manual wheelchair. With those issues it makes physical work or exercise almost impossible. I do muscle tightening with muscles that work and a lot of deep breathing. I’m telling you if you are relatively strict about following the meals and snack this program works. Granted I feel like I am eating all the time, but the weight is falling off. I had a cancer scare earlier this past year and had to opt for another treatment as I was too big to have the surgery for fear of something going wrong. I am now cancer free but they may still decide to do the surgery once I get my weight down. I have over 200 more lbs to lose but I know I can do it with following these menus. Our 40 anniversary is in 2017 and I am hoping by then to only have about 50 lbs to go which will put me lower than the weight I was when we married. That would be so awesome! Thanks for reading |
 | Hello everyone. I am very happy that I lost 5 pounds. I want to lose 10 more pounds by the summer. I love the variety of foods I can eat. I call this my new way of eating more healthy. I am focus, love my life, appreciate good food and looking forward to a any positive changes for the better. Hey way to go Trimdown club. Nae |
 | Hi all I am new to this and wondering if someone can help me? What happens if you don’t eat everything you are supposed to in a day or if you do but change a food type slightly? Also, if you have a treat or a bad day, what happens? Finding it quite hard as not carolie conrolled so could just do with knowing the essentials really. Any help would be great x |
 | Hi all, it’s the start of week 5 for me and I’m down 4 kgs, I have decided to treat myself to a pedicure tomorrow as a “go girl” treat :). I still have a long way to go, but for the first time on a diet I feel I can do it 🙂 Stay positive people and keep at it x |
