I did not meet my goal for March, and that was discouraging. I have made significant changes to my lifestyle over the last 15 months, and I know what it takes to lose 1-2 pounds a week. While I wanted to blame my slow progress on travel and socializing, I realized an old habit started to creep into my thinking.

My biggest triumph this month was the notification I received through my fitness app that I’d exercised at least 3 times a week for 26 weeks. I have actually exercised at least 30 minutes a day, a minimum of FIVE days a week for a total of 28 weeks!

Sometimes the first step to losing weight and getting healthy starts with removing all temptation. That’s how it started for Alexis Gardner, a software engineer who lives in New York and in 1.5 years lost 100 pounds* with the help of Diet-to-Go and fitness.

In 2017, Cathrine Shinn lost 100 pounds using Diet-to-Go*. We’re following her story through 2018 as she continues to lose weight and get healthy. If Cathrine can do it, so can you!

It is one thing to lose weight as an individual — it’s quite another when you get the entire family to do it. But that is exactly what 47-year-old Sandra Hardeman did with her three sons and husband one year ago, and, since then, the family has collectively lost more than 330 pounds.

Cathrine S. used to be too embarrassed to go outside for a walk. She used to refuse to look at herself in the mirror. She used to be prediabetic. She used to weigh 331 pounds. But today, shes down 100 pounds and no longer any of those things.

Health issues, lack of motivation and energy, fad diets and a general misery in life — these were all the things Sinora Glenn felt in December of 2016. But now, just over a year later, those are distant memories for Sinora. Sinora has lost a total of 60 pounds, more weight than she ever lost at once and weight that will never come back. And it all started with a phone call, one that would change Sinora’s life. 

Selena's social media accounts are filled with healthy meals and recipes, so much so that she’s become a go-to source among her friends who want to eat right and lose weight. But it wasn’t always that way. Rewind 4 years ago. Selena had struggled with weight before, during her elementary school years, but it had never been quite so bad. At 5 feet, 2 inches tall, she weighed 175 pounds and felt unhealthy and unhappy. She decided it was time for a change.

Selena asked her parents if she could try Diet-to-Go. They agreed and, at 16, she started on the plan. Two months later, Selena shed 25 pounds.*

At Diet-to-Go, we are blessed to have customers who engage with us on a daily basis. Whether it’s in our Facebook community, on our Facebook page, through Twitter, via email or over the phone, people are constantly sharing with us their successes, struggles and feedback.

And we listen. Here are some of our favorite comments, things that truly represent customers and their experience with the Diet-to-Go program.

When you spend most of your time comparing yourself to others, it only drops you deeper into a pattern of negativity that gets you nowhere. Just ask Jen Carroll whose constant comparing herself to others led her to a very dark place. “I used that as an excuse and food as a comfort so the past couple years my weight got out of control,” she said. But after years of yo-yo dieting, one Labor Day she realized she was ready to finally lose weight; and when she found Diet-to-Go, that's exactly what happened.

Imagine starting a weigh-loss journey just 90 days before your wedding and not seeing your partner until the big day. That’s the premise of the hit TV show Altar’d on Z Living network.

For the three months leading up to their weddings, six couples shed pounds by exercising and eating right. And it was Diet-to-Go that provided all the food leading up to the altar reveal.

Now that this season has ended, we’re revealing the before-and-after’s of each of the six couples, as well as their touching stories — and real testimonials about their Diet-to-Go meals.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make our weight loss journey worthwhile. That’s certainly true for Gary Jackson, a 62-year-old Marine Corps retiree who started Diet-to-Go in September. At 5 feet, 10 inches, Gary’s 227-pound weight and decades of unhealthy eating was finally starting to drag him down enough that he decided it was time for a change. And he found just what he was after with Diet-to-Go!

Tina's weight ballooned out of control, during and after the loss of her mother, but at 262 pounds and diagnosed with pre-diabetes, she knew it was time to make a change.

Since starting Diet-to-Go in January 2016, she has lost 82 pounds (and counting) and her doctor is completely stunned at her results.

Knowledgeable and health-savvy nurse, Tricia Mamer, has tried many diet delivery plans in the last few years — Ultimate Food, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, you name it. But it wasn't until she found Diet-to-Go that she finally found healthy and great tasting diet success!

The demands of obtaining a doctorate degree are extremely high. It’s stressful, time-consuming and for many post-bachelor’s-degree students, it also takes a toll on their health.

It certainly did for James Crispo, a former postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. But he discovered Diet-to-Go and turned it all around.

When Arwa Qammash gained more than 20 pounds after giving birth to her first child, getting back in shape was definitely on the forefront of her mind. and she turned to Diet-to-Go to help make it happen. Find out how she did it!

For Charles Sockey, it was about more than just wanting to look good. It was about coming so far in life and being determined to be able to enjoy it.

“I want to keep going until there’s no days left,” said 67-year-old analyst-retiree Charles. “I don’t want to be holed up. I want to live.”

“If we want to inspire others, we have to achieve success ourselves.”

That’s what Elizabeth Christian, a telephone saleswoman and aspiring motivational speaker, believes — and it’s exactly what she held onto as she worked to lose weight and get in shape.

Trying to lose weight and get healthy is difficult enough by itself, but what if you had to do it while also serving as the primary caretaker of an ill loved one?

It may not sound like too much fun to most of us, but for Sheryl Walder, her mother’s Parkinson’s disease diagnosis was the catalyst to push her into finally taking the leap. 

It’s a story many women are all too familiar with — putting on extra pounds every year after 40, with no explanation and no obvious way to combat it.

It’s definitely the story of Stephanie, a California mental health specialist who at 5'6" slowly started gaining weight until she bubbled up to 165 pounds.
