Success stories? Anyone care to share?
 Ossie-Sharon | Hi, SkinnyMinnie55, and congratulations. We wish you continued success, and are happy to help however we can. |
| Ossie-Sharon | Hi, Aradams2002. It was wonderful to read of your earlier success. How have you been doing over the past two months? |
 skinnyminnie55 | I am 63 years old. I have been on the program for two weeks. I have lost 4.8 pounds. I have not been able to exercise because of knees and back pain. However, I have increased by activity around the house. I have been climbing the stairs to the attic. As I downsize myself, I am downsizing the stuff in my house. |
 Aradams2002 | I am a 66 yr old woman who has had diabetes for over 20 yrs and I have been non compliant every day. My a1c is generally 9.5 up to 11+. I have been to dieticians several times but I zoned out before I left the room. I am not ever going to eat tofu…salmon…or a big bowl of lettuce. However started this program 6 weeks ago, went to diabetic dr yesterday a1c 7.1! He reduced my insulin and I lost 13 lbs. How can anyone find fault with an eating plan that can do that while eating the foods you like and are accustomed to. Thank you so much. |
| Ossie-Sharon | Hi, Graciela2. That’s wonderful to read! We wish you continued success, and are happy to help however we can. |
 Graciela2 | Signed up on Monday. Waited till Thursday to start because I wanted to costumise the menu. I cannot stop going to the bathroom. I did not know I was holding so much water. Water retention is a big part of gaining weight. I followed program to a t but it is too much food for me. There is no point in eating a snack if I am not even the least bit hungry. I weighed myself this morning after 3 good days and lost 1.8 lb. yay!!!!!! Tomorrow I will go back to the pool to do laps and water aerobics! |
 Sandals41 | O.S…..thank you SO much! I went there and posted in two topics hoping to see more activity each “day” rather than each week!! |
| Ossie-Sharon | Hi, Sandals41. At the top of each site page you’ll see a toolbar – hover over “My Activity” (all the way to the right), and scroll down to see “Groups, then select that. |
| Sandals41 | O.S., where would I find “Group Forums?” I’ve clicked on “Live Forums” and the only topics are Nutrition/Diet, Fitness, 60-day Challenge, Diet Water Cooler, (whatever that is) Moms on Diet, and View All Forums. |
| Ossie-Sharon | Hi, Sandals, and congratulations on your weight loss! As for conversations, try the Group Forums – the most active is a group called “Successful Beginnings.” |
| Sandals41 | Judy, I had to laugh at your question: “Why are there no replies to these questions?” It’s like a ghost town here with so many people signed onto the website! FYI…I thought “I” was getting a recipe book but, it turns out there’s a fee for it so, I logged out of all the added perks!! None of them are free! I signed up for a year and will use the various tools to help my weight loss efforts. I’m also disappointed there aren’t more folks chatting in the forums! It boggles my mind, since it’s such a great way to share struggles and successes! Maybe, if a few of us log in everyday, more of them will follow! |
| Sandals41 | It’s been two weeks since anyone posted a word about their success! |
| Ossie-Sharon | Hi, Judy. You will see our “Program Guide” and “Quick Start Guide” in your program downloads, available though the “My Guides” link in the toolbar near the too of each site page. In the “Quick Start Guide,” you will find information out building menus. In our “Tips and Tricks” area, you will find searchable articles about making healthy choices and changes. |
 JudyCate | I need some help getting started. |
| JudyCate | Am just trying to get started. I thought I’d be getting a recipe book . I haven’t so am spending a lot of time copying receipts. I have an iPad not a computer so I can’t just run off a copy..Nothing is clear cut as what to do first. I don’t have set menus etc. Would love to talk to an actual person. Have a lot of questions and no answers. How did everyone else find out how to navigate this diet concept? |
