 61jklavis 9 years ago | I found the Trim Down Club while preparing for a Corporate Weigh Loss Challenge. Our contest began on 3/7/16, I have followed your program and my daily menus “to a tee”. My starting weight was 239.8#.
After our 1st official weigh in this morning, I am VERY HAPPY to report that I weighed in at 231.2#, or 8.2 lbs lost in one week!
I am 54 years old, have high cholesterol and am pre-diabetic. I can only think that by following your prescribed plans, I will continue on to my goal weight of 199#. Thanks for making your program available to all of us! I have forwarded the link to your sight to many of my co-workers and customers. To my continued success! |
 Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago | Hi, Ellie. A pound a week is not bad at all. If you want to give yourself a boost, exercise is the best way to get past a plateau. If you are already active, consider making some changes to your routine to wake up new muscles. |
 elliefpw 9 years ago | I am in week 5 and have lost only 6 pounds and plateaued at todays weigh in. I’m going to get discouraged when I was sooo invested and excited for success. |
| Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago | That’s wonderful, Debbie! Our heartfelt congratulations 🙂 🙂 |
 Deborahjjhayes 9 years ago | After two years of being on this fantastic lifestlye, my husband, Bob, has decided to do it with me. After one month, he has lost 20 lbs. He’s elated!! |
| Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago | Hi, ellikilner. Yes, you can switch things around – whatever makes it comfortable. You don’t have to be perfect, just try to do a little better each time you eat, and the small change will add up without you suffering. |
 elliekilner 9 years ago | Hello all I have just started my healthy eating on Monday so I am on day 3 – I am not too good with technology and seem to get all upset and frustrated when I can’t find an answer to something. So today I missed half of my breakfast because I cannot find wether you cook porridge oats with water or milk . Help anyone … Also are you able to change the snacks around rather than having a certain something mid day can I switch it to later in in the evening. I love my cups of tea with milk and I’m truly struggling not being able to put milk in it, any advice please |
 Peggyhutchins 9 years ago | Hi I am Peggy, joined this past Sunday. Want to eat healthy, I too have pain in body carrying around so much extra weight. I was interested in this eating plan because it sounded easy. Eat real food. That is what I want to do, just give up the processed stuff. But I would love some tips for when I want that sweet cookie. Good luck to all of us. |
 nrc1940 9 years ago | I joined the Trim Down Club yesterday. A bit of history… Back in 2015, mid-June, I weighed 195 pounds. I cut out sugar, was very conscious of my portion sizes; ate mostly protein in various forms, vegetables, fruits, and drank lots of water. If fact I’ve found that if I drink a big glass of water first thing in the morning it triggers my thirst. Anyway by the end of December my weight was down to 148. I no longer have issues with my knees–was headed for knee replacement–my A1C number has dropped from 5.9 to 5.6, and my energy level has more than doubled. The downside is that I’ve crept back up to 155. I an NOT going back there! I’d like to lose another 10-15 pounds. (When this site crunched my numbers is said my optimum weight would be around 125 but that hardly seems possible but we’ll see how it goes.) I’d like to reach my optimum weight and maintain without the weight inching back up. Anyway, that’s my story. I’m dedicated to making this happen and living a healthy life! |
| Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago | Hi, Rhonda. That’s the perfect approach, and we wish you the very best. We are happy to help in whatever way we can. |
| Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago | Hi, Stuart. You’re doing great! Note that because you’re exercising, you’re swapping fat for muscle, which is heavier. At this stage, you will be looking disproportionately better than the number on the scale. |
 stuartjefferson 9 years ago | Have just started Week 3 on the 8 week plan using my food choices. Also walking 6 miles every other day. Lost around 2 kgs but thought I should have lost more? Am I expecting too much?? |
 Rhondawrites 9 years ago | Hi, I am new as well. My children are worried about me and I am going to need a lot of inspiration and motivation. I have wanted to lose weight for a long time and have hit a low. I need this not only for my kids but for myself as well. |
 Eulalie 9 years ago | I have just join today 09/01/2016, looking forward to trying new ways of eating a lot more healthier, and losing the weight more easier. Any tips are gladly welcome. Will check in a week today! Thank You. |
