Hello,
Have any of you been on any weight loss programs such as Nutrisystem
or Jenny Craig etc. and used this app to keep track of your progress?
Thanks.

There are a lot of people here (myself included) that still go to Weight Watchers meetings but track with this app. I don't know about the other plans.4

I'm doing Optavia and using the app more now than I ever have!

@TexasGranny2018 I’m currently on nutrisystem and today is officially 2 months... 28 pounds down. They have a sale for the frozen your choice for $249. I can’t do shelf stable stuff but the frozen is pretty good. If your interested I can give you buddy bucks.. it’s $30 off... and then you can buy gift cards from Costco.. $80 for $100 gift card and it helps with the cost. I’m just here for the community boards and track on the nutrisystem app because you get free stuff on there through challenges. I’ve got a free extra week of breakfast, free extra week of lunches etc2

I started Optavia 7/13 and aside from a 9 day vacation where I was 100% off plan, I’ve been really following it to a T.. I’ve lost 31 pounds in 10 weeks.. Amazing and can’t wait to continue. Please feel free to add me on here, Id love to be able to support each other!

Nutrisystem & those sorts of programs are filled with a ridiculous amount of sodium in their foods. It’s horrendous for you. I would never recommend that. I’ve done weight watchers and that worked also I’m currently doing Herbalife & that works as well.11

I have tried it all and the only thing that has ever worked for me was old fashion calorie counting and exercise. Those programs, you just dump so much money into them and they're not worth it. MFP is better than anything I've ever tried.10

To lose some pounds, they all work. I have had temporary success with many of them.
To change your weight permanently, learn how to live happily and permanently within a calorie budget.
MFP helps me stay on that budget.
Platejoy.com helps me choose what to spend my calories on.
Mindful eating helps me enjoy what I do eat.
Combined they are helping me to transform my past fat person behaviors into future thin person behaviors.
Just losing weight again isn't good enough this time.11 -
Here's the thing.
This site and its database and tools including calorie/macro counting FOOD diary are free.
I spend about $150 per month on groceries and prepare my own delicious meals from meats and seafood, dairy, fruit, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and oils. Cooked the way I like it in the portions that led to my weight loss of nearly 80 pounds in 2007-08. I've kept it off doing the same thing all this time. It doesn't make any sense to me to spend a huge amount of money on meals someone else makes or on supplements I don't need. I'm not gonna buy that stuff forever, so it made sense to learn how to eat for life.

I’m another one who’s doing this and WW. I did Jenny Craig, got to goal (only needed to lose 45), stopped eating their food and gained it all back and then some. Atkins worked well for me, but I gave up too soon. So far on WW I’ve lost 75, almost half way to goal, and plan on sticking with it.2

I’m interested in Optiva and Medifast, too. Have been on my own 1000 cal or less for a week and no loss. 😢

Hi. I’m not on Optiva. I was responding to someone by saying I’m interested in it. I did some research and it looks like you have to see a MD every week. Is that how yours works?likerebecca wrote: »I started Optavia 7/13 and aside from a 9 day vacation where I was 100% off plan, I’ve been really following it to a T.. I’ve lost 31 pounds in 10 weeks..

I am just low carbing and have lost 30 lbs this year. I use this program with a couple of others. I am motivated with charts and such.0

Im curious if anyone has joined or heard of Optavia? From what I see this is Medifast that has been renamed. I see some amazing results but I am worried about what happens when you have to go off there products. I would like to follow the requirements with real food and see if I see any results. I'm just curious if anyone has taken this approach or know someone that has taken this approach and if they had similar results to Optavia/Medifast results? Thanks!0

I've tried lots of plans and lost weight on all of them. But, maintenance requires you to learn about (and change) the eating habits that made you have to lose weight in the first place.4 -
I have tried Optavia and briefly was a coach with this program. If you decide to invest in this plan for weight loss, you don't have to go to a clinic based coach but having one to work with toward success for your personal goal is key. Your coach can help you transition to a Healthy eating and lifestyle that is sustainable. The transition and maintenance part is the same for any program that restricts calories and/or specific nutrients...low carb, keto, etc. You have to be determined to make change to sustain the weight loss no matter which plan you use.0

They're having server issues at the moment. It's being worked on.0 -
Weight Watchers has lost it. First of all, it's not called Weight Watchers anymore, it's called WW. Whatever that means. The points program is worse than ever, they changed it so bad that many people stopped losing and quit. And you can't call them meetings anymore. They are "workshops" and take place at a WW "Studio". smh0

I'm curious if you all do it optavia have logged your optavia Foods in your tracker? If you have can you tell me how many carbs protein and fat is in one day's worth of optavia? I'm trying to do the program without actually being on the program doing it with real foods because I can't afford the program0
