My Weight Loss

elderboy02 · 09-07-2012, 10:19 AM

I figured I would pop in here and share my good news. On 7/5 of this year, I was 6'5" and I weighed 342 pounds. I decided to do the Take Shape for Life plan. As of 9/5 (2 months) I am down to 290 for a total loss of 52 pounds

I did so well with my weight loss that I was invited to become a health coach with Take Shape for Life. I now have 8 clients under me and they are losing weight as well. It feels great to be able to help others as well. I cannot wait to get to my goal weight.

Incredible, Dan!!!

To be enjoying it has to be something you weren't expecting. Thanks for helping some other folks get along, that's good stuff, my man.

Congrats on your success! A couple years ago I tried the medifast diet on and off for about a year (I'm assuming, based on the web site, that this diet is the same as medifast). I didn't have much success and, for the price, I thought the food was pretty lacking. All they seemed to have at the time were soups , shakes and powdered eggs. Has the food gotten any more tolerable?

Kevin(n)tn · 09-07-2012, 02:05 PM

Congrats and best of luck

The problem is that you did Medifast. I am doing Take Shape for Life which uses Medifast products. With Take Shape for Life you get a free health coach which holds you accountable (I have a coach, and I am currently coaching clients under me). It costs the same as if you would have signed up with Medifast. Medifast improved their products greatly. They also have new foods. I am the pickiest eater in the world and I absolutely love the food. My mom and dad are also on the plan and they love everything. On day 4 and day 10 your taste buds change and you no longer crave salts, fats, sugar, etc.

Also, with Take Shape for Life you get to eat a Lean and Green meal which is delicious! You can eat steaks, chicken, pork, fish, etc.

Here is a link to my website which shows some more of the foods. Click on the shop tab and it will show you all of the products. Let me know if I can help you out

Wow great job! Once you’ve reached your target weight, throw out or give away every piece of clothing that doesn’t fit. The idea of having to buy a whole new wardrobe if you gain the weight back will serve as a strong incentive to maintain your new figure.
