Ok I was interested because I quit cigarettes in April and for a few months not working now, so I got heavier. I am a little over 6'2" and was at 240. I lost 10 consistent lbs since Xmas, mostly watching the sugars and carbs, and treadmill each day. 227 right now and probably just want to lose about 10 more. That's why I was reading this thread and realized you must be pretty close to where you want to be. Then it's maintenance, right ?

First of all, good job! :tu

The next step will be the transition phase, then maintenance.

First I am going to start eating fruits again and the high starch vegetables that I eliminated during the fat burn period.

I do have some 100 cal treats, but I found the 2 miles in the morning and a few 10 min exercise breaks are keeping my metabolism upscale.

I just noticed my lifestyle change the last 6 months was going to be trouble after 36 waist for years began to be difficult to get in to so I made some subtle healthy changes. Just better diet and more exercise. You seriously did a great job and had one heck of a battle. :tu

Re: My Weight Loss

Re: My Weight Loss

you need to change your name to "Slenderboy!"

Re: My Weight Loss

Nice Job SlenderDan !
Over here it's good to have the treadmill running again. I blew it up last Saturday. I was mad, but also cracking up because I had just upped my game to the next level when I fried it ! I put a replacement motor and speed controller in it yesterday. Hopefully now it can keep up with old man :LOL

Re: My Weight Loss

Dan can you please describe what this plan entails? I have to be honest when I first read this thread last year my :bs detector was going off like crazy. You have obviously had excellent results from the program so could you shed some light on how it's supposed to work? I've searched, but the web is so full of fake reviews and scam warnings I'd like to hear it from someone who's done it.

Absolutely... I am a Certified Health Coach with Take Shape for Life so I can definitely answer any questions you have. The program is very simple, it is called the 5&1 Plan. There is no need to count calories, carbs, etc. All you have to do is eat food and you will lose weight (approximately 2-5 lbs a week). You eat 5 meal replacements and 1 Lean and Green meal each day. You eat every 2-3 hours, so you do not go hungry. The program is very cheap because you basically shift your money from the grocery store, fast food restaurants, etc and transfer it to TSFL. I found that I save money by being on the plan.

There are over 70 different meal replacements available (bars, pancakes, shakes, soft bake items, drinks, soups, chilis, stews, cereal, pretzels, puffs, eggs, mac & cheese, ice cream, oatmeal, puddings, etc.) and honestly, they are delicious. I was the worlds pickiest eater before I started this program, and now I love the food. They even have chocolate chip cookies and brownies! You could eat 5 cookies a day if you wanted :dr

The lean and green meal is a meal that you make on your own. Basically, you want 5-7 cooked ounces of lean protein. You can have steak, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, etc and 1.5 cup of vegetables. Normally I eat steak, porkchops, tilapia, salmon, turkey, chicken, green beans, broccoli, salad, cauliflower, etc.

Once you hit day 3 on the program, you enter fat burning mode and you get a ton of energy. I have never had as much energy in my life as I do now.

If you are interested, let me know. I can get you free boxes of meals when you sign up under me, and I will be your personal Certified Health Coach :tu

Re: My Weight Loss

Sorry. I didn't want the sales pitch, I am actually curious about the How and the Why.

It sounds like a calorie restricted low GI diet.

I know it's unimportant because someone has already done all the work when they prepared the meals, but do you have any idea what the target macro nutrient breakdown should be for the day?

At what point do you transition from the prepackaged meals to your own cooking, and what does TSFL recommend eating at that point?

You also can start to eat whole grains again. Once transition is done, you enter the maintenance phase where you keep the weight off for good. You might eat just a couple of the meal replacements and the rest of the day you eat healthier meals. This program basically teaches you how to eat properly your entire life. :)

Re: My Weight Loss

Gotcha. Glad it's working out for you. You look good.

I think you need to respond to the PM I sent you and the questions others have directed to you.
