Success stories? Anyone care to share?
 | Hi, I’m glad to know I’m not the only 60 something year old trying to lose weight! I’ve tried so many diets that are not working….I hope this one will. I need to lose 20 lbs, and I know I would feel so much better once I do. |
 | Started on 1st January and have lost 31 lbs. I’ve stuck to the menu planner and tried to keep up a reasonable amount of exercise. Need to buy some new clothes now! 🙂 |
 | This diet is awesome. I started this diet on January 11th MY weight was approximately 210 today I weigh 191 Thank you |
 | I am on week 6 of menu planners so….have gone down 6 pounds from my own high. But that may have been before I started TDC. It is slow but sure and no big bounces. The 6 meal/snacks really works. I am looking forward to the Passover suggestions. Thank you. I go in for my hip surgery March 19. I may be out of touch because altho I have an IPad, not sure about wifi connections at rehab facility. My very best kudos to all and our successes and shared thoughts and encouragement. |
 | I am just a newbie, 5’2″ 262 lb 40 year old female. I have a goal of losing about 135 lbs. I recently came to the decision the the time is now. I refuse to put it off and eat my emotions away. My back story is a long one and I wont bored you with it. After breaking my leg while jumping into a mud pit with my daughter this last July, I had a lot of time to think. And gain. Even more. My health is on a down hill cycle with illness because I believe my body is telling me “Time to put up or shut up”. As I was reading through the comments I felt compelled to reply. If I can do this, anyone can. I am a lazy and put off stuff as long as possible: yet I know in my heart I am a strong woman and I CAN DO THIS. Stay positive my friends….. I will be posting my results as I have them. |
 | I have found liquid stevia on the http://www.vitacost.com website if anyone is interested. |
 | For powder-liquid Stevia substitutions, here is a basic conversion chart: |
| | 76 yrs old & 100 lbs overweight! Began Feb.8 changing the way I eat and had lost 17 lbs just by eating as I know I should be. Then saw ad for the Trim Down Club; joined about a week ago, lost another 3 lbs,& still trying to work out food favorites while eating sensibly. The hardest part is trying to find most of the ingredients listed for use in the menus but have ordered grains to help make meat substitutes. Am actually becoming adverse to meats as I age, eating mainly turkey, chicken & fish.I’m hoping the TDC helps me attain my goal by my birthday on Nov. 6. An, & all advise, will be greatly appreciated. |
 | Cooking ahead to start my diet next week but can’t find stevia syrup either at the stevia websire or at the stores. Anyone know the ratio of water to stevia granules so I can make the syrup myself? |

 | Hi everyone, my name is Ann. I joined last year (September) and just want to say that this program worked for me. My goal was to lose 10 lbs. Since I’ve been doing this program, I actually lost more than that: I lost 12 lbs. I’m back in clothing that I used to wear before I was pregnant (six years ago). I had put some of my old clothes in bags to give away and never got around to doing it. Now, I’m finding I have to fish them out because I’ve gone down 2 dress sizes. The program has become just second nature to me now. Over the past 6 months, I’ve figured out what I like to eat and just stick with those things. Yep, occasionally, I do eat out at a restaurant or “fast food” place but I’m picking the grilled chicken or the healthier options. Love this program. Thanks Trim Down Club! |
 | Hey, suzybee! I’m almost 68 and just getting started with this way of eating. I had surgery last April and put on 20 lbs. I’m miserable this heavy so I’ve just got to lose it. Mobility is another problem, I can’t “run” but I am going to see if I can ride my exercise bike. The weekly menu I’ve made sound healthy and good. Today is my first day and I’m ready to get started. I hope that I can find you on this forum once in a while. Good luck! |
| | Hi, debburg. Are you talking about the Classic Bread Stuffing recipe on this site? It depends how you cut it – a 1/12 slice of the stuffing is 1/2 cup, and a 1/6 slice is 1 cup. |
 | My husband has lost 20 lbs and my sister about 10. Unlike me who had only lost 2 lbs after 4 weeks so I have stopped weighing since I am working out and the other two are not. Clothes are fitting looser, so I\’m good with that. I wish there were people to talk to as I cannot seem to find an answer as to atually how much bread stuffing is a slice. Help anyone? |
| | Hi, RDougall. If you want to post your stats (gender, height, weight), physical activity level, and a sample day from your menu plan, I would be happy to run some calculations and see if the composition suits your needs. |
