Why should you join our friendly dieting community?
Do you want to lose 5, 10, 15 pounds and just can't make it happen?
Need to get ready for a wedding or beach vacation? Maybe it's leftover baby weight
or perhaps it's a beer belly (which brewed up in college). No matter
where the weight came from, we can help you take it off. We are not here to sell
you anything - we promise & it's all free. All we do is put a
wealth of weight-loss information at your finger tips, give you access to experts,
fun weight-loss information, tracking tools, easy to follow meal plans, plus a
rock-strong community of other dieters to offer cheerleading, and best of all, friendship.
You have nothing to lose, except for that extra weight, of course.

A Nutritionist Weighs in...
You might have seen Bob Greene on Oprah or as a contributing writer and editor for her magazine O The Oprah Magazine. His ability to get publicity doesn't mean that this plan is right for you.
This program can assist you with self-readiness to change, but accomplishing the changes quickly is very challenging.
You'll be more successful if you take the author's advice and use professionals such as a psychologist, certified trainer, and registered dietitian in order to complete this program. If you've already come up with reasons you cannot commit, you are still in the self-reflection stage and are not ready to Get with the Program!
Not for the frivolous or impatient dieter
Some of us find it hard to commit to a relationship or even agree to a future lunch date. This program can take anywhere from nine weeks to nine months of hard work. Then you'll have to stick with it for the rest of your life. Definitely not the answer if you're looking for a one-night-stand diet. If you're a commitment-phobe, this one's not for you.
You need to be ready to sign a contract promising yourself to follow through on Get with the Program! That means you'll need to honestly assess whether you can keep up with the plan requirements.
As a plan participant, you'll complete more than a dozen written exercises including writing a happiness journal, creating an "I'm my own top priority" log, and a final essay (No, it's not graded, but you'll know if you didn't write it.) And that's not all: there are daily and special journals throughout the program. If this makes you cringe, this plan is not right for you.
And, lest we forget, you need to commit yourself to incorporating functional exercises five times, participating in at least 150 minutes of aerobic activities, and strength training three times every week. So much for the "I don't have time to exercise" excuse.
