 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, PattyGirl. Most of the Clubbers have much more to lose than you and it is indeed much easier to lose weight the more you are overweight – it is specifically the last few pounds that are the hardest.
Have you dieted before? If so, what sorts of diets, and how recently was your last time? If you have been on restrictive diets, it may take a while for your body to get used to normal amounts of food. Also, if you are used to working out, it could be that your efforts could benefit from a new type of exercise to work new muscles – that can give your metabolism a major boost.
In addition to the above information, you are welcome to post a sample day from your weekly menu, along with your height, weight, and age, and I can run some calculations. |
 pattygirl 12 years ago | I don’t know what to believe about all these comments. I am adhering strictly to the planner and have gained 3 lbs in 3 days. This has me very upset. I walk an hour every morning and exercise for another 1/2 hr. when I get back home. I drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. I only have 10 lbs to lose, but since I’m now gaining weight instead of losing it on this meal plan, I’m totally skeptical about it. I’m nervous about continuing just to find out I’m worse off than when I started. |
 Redfrckle 12 years ago | Hi, I actually joined awhile ago but was in a motorcycle accident and had other issues to deal with, so actually forgot I was a member! Of course, since the accident I’ve gained another 15 pounds!! So I’m starting again….today! I’m hopeful, because this is the only site I’ve found that helps me plan menues for all my health issues: Wheat intolerant AND diabetic! I’ve been frustrated trying to find foods that can accomodate both, but after reading the recipes and menu’s, I’m going shopping with a menu plan and looking forward to some good tasting, guilt free meals! Wish me luck! |
 ernest 12 years ago | hi! Ernie from tucson, az. on the 14 day program. today was the 7th day. time to weigh in! down 7 lbs. enjoying the program. thanks to the club |
 VacavilleVinny 12 years ago | I think I pushed myself too hard. I went from 224 to 215 in 3 weeks. Doubt that quick loss will continue. Hoping to drop 20 more pounds in 3 month’s time. Heard men loose it a lot quicker than women. I think using the weight bench has helped. Cant seem to get into the jogging or using the elliptical machine. |
 RobynWall 12 years ago | Hi everyone I have just joined tonight and looking forward to starting. I have just gone through the menu for the week and it looks yum! Fingers crossed I will do as well as everyone here that I have been reading about. |
 Lorijoan 12 years ago | You are all very inspirational to me thank you for your posts. I started last Monday and have followed the plan about 85% of the time and have lost 3 lbs. Tonight I started falling back into some old habits again, grazing in front of the T.V.. and hope that tomorrow will be a stronger day for me. — I wish everyone all the best. 🙂 |
 pit1 12 years ago | Started a week ago. This entire program, from nutrition to fitness tips, is absolutely awesome! Thanks a million. |
 JackieRosa 12 years ago | Hi. I started the programme 1 week ago and have lost 5lbs so far.I have also started a run/walk programme to help with the weight loss. I feel energetic and healthy on this programme. I will be 60 years old next birthday, and plan to look and feel great by that time (next March). good luck to everyone. Glad you are doing well too.

 mariajo48 12 years ago | Hi, My name is Maria. I started this program on April 15th and to this date (May 25th) I’ve lost 21 lbs. I’m following “The Express Meals Plan” I find it easier than trying to plan my own meals. My weight was 20l lbs I’m now 180 and losing. I weigh myself once a week. This has to be the best weight loss program I’ve ever been on!! |
 Tanya 12 years ago | Been on this for one week and have lost 4.5 lbs, so thats better than gaining. I try very hard to follow the menu but I cant get all the ingredients so times I have to substitute. Do what I can with what I have! Good luck to everyone. Tanya |
 MaryLinda 12 years ago | I started the program 5 days ago, but have stuck with it perfectly for four days as I had to go shopping to get the right foods. I have lost 4 pounds so far, and I feel like I am eating more food than ever. I am going back to the gym today…finally, after procrastinating because I was not taking the time to take care of myself properly. You know how it is sometimes with women, and most certainly with me, I tend to put everyone, and everything first. I realized sometimes we have to say no to others, and take care of ourselves because I realized that when I am focused and happy about myself; moreover, I have more energy to care for my family. This is a great club. I love the support and the recipes, and I do love to cook, but I do it on the weekends and freeze the food for the week. That seems to help when I come home at night from work, and I don’t want to make a mess. ♥ |
 butler 12 years ago | I started this program on Tue and i have lost 1 1/2 lbs but don’t always follow my the menu because something goes wrong on my day |
 MaryBishop 12 years ago | hello rrheartsafe!
I too have lost weight (but never enough) before but haven’t been able to keep it off.
The menus are great, using foods I like. The weight is coming off very, very slowly but it is staying off this time.
We get great support too which helps.
I hope your health issue improves and good luck! |
 rrheartsafe 12 years ago | Hello, I signed up with the program about 24days ago. I haven’t lost any weight or being following because of a medical issue I had to attend to. Today I carefully thought about what I want and needed to do to lose weight and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I’m not in a rush because I’ve failed with that plan time and time again. I want to take my time and learn what triggers my addiction to food. Hopefully I will meet someone outside of my family who could offer some advice and encourage me along the way. |
