Anyone doing the New Directions program in these states?
I have some friends interested in the ND program. Is anyone doing the program in Alabama or New Hamshire? Or do you know of programs in these states? I suggested they fill out the Find a Clinic form on the Robard site but figured it couldn't hurt to ask here too. Thanks!

Restarting the program - checking in
I had always planned to lose additional weight at some point after I stopped the program. I've gotten good at maintaining, not so good at losing on my own. So after talking to my dietitian I decided to restart the program and lose this last bit of weight and get to my original goal. Now I am waiting for my physical and…

I'm doing a 2 week reset
I've been on maintenance for 5 mos. We went on a week vacation followed a few days later by a trip for Thanksgiving. I got totally off track and decided to do what my clinic calls a reset. 2 weeks, 5 shakes per day. The first day was rough. I'm on day 3 now and feel like I am getting back in the groove of the program. I…

My Before and After New Directions
I know when I was starting out and going through this program that seeing people that had succeeded on the plan helped keep me motivated. So on that note I wanted to share my before and after pics. I still want to lose maybe 20 more pounds, but if I don't I'm happy with where I'm at. When times get hard just remember that…

I'm getting a shaved ice machine
We went to the county fair today and of course we were surrounded by fair food. OMG just kill me! I thought I was going to cave and then I saw the shaved ice stand advertising sugar free flavors. They were using sugar free torani and the strawberry was so good! It was an awesome treat and I will definitely be making them…

Anyone want to do weekly updates?

Exercise is killing me and my weight loss
I've started moving all my lifting to F, S, S, M and making T, W, Th my rest days because I gain weight every week from the water retention from my workouts. I know it's normal to retain water when your muscles are sore, but it is so annoying to see that gain on the scale when you are following the diet and exercising. I…

It's getting a lot harder
i'm really close to my goal weight, about 25lbs to go now, initially I needed to lose 130lbs. In the last week or so I have noticed that it's getting a lot harder to stay on plan. I went on vacation and switched to the one meal per day option and now I really really want to eat regular food. I'm really trying to stay…
