Hello,
I am new here and just started Optavia. Is anyone else doing it too? I have done several boot camps and diets but this is the first time I am finally writing down what I am eating. It has really helped me to make better food choices!

    Hi! I have been on Optavia since Feb and lost 55 lbs. it really works. I am trying for another 5 lbs and then going to transition to maintenance. Feel free to friend me I keep my diary open. You will find a lot of disapproval about “fad” diets like Optavia esp because it is so low calorie so just be prepared. I understand completely where they are coming from, but I’ve been overweight my whole life, on and off MyFitnessPal for over 10 years now, and calorie counting and healthy choices never got me to the place I am. I am a runner, I do fitness classes, drink over 72 oz of water every day, and I haven’t been at the weight I am now since middle school. So good luck! If you stick with it, it will change your life.

    I'll finish my first week of Optavia Monday (the 26). I'm super excited to weigh myself!
    I've seen some people lose 7 pounds in their first week.

    Hi! I was on Optavia 5&1 for 2 months then switched last week to 3&3 with calorie counting because I have products left over. I lost 27 pounds. I still have weight I want to lose so I wanted to try this. You've got this!
