Why Take Shape For Life

My husband and I have begun an exciting journey together. A mutual friend presented Take Shape For Life (TSFL) and we were very hesitant at first, but after a few months we decided to try it out. Jamie signed up to be Thom's health coach for the number one reason of saving a few dollars a month on his food. Although the more we both learn about the program the more excited we both are at the idea of how being a health coach for others could be amazing and so rewarding!  We both want to see first hand how the program goes for Thom before we attempt to attract other clients. And Jamie wants to get walking the walk and not just talking the talk as well.  A hypocritical health coach would be a disservice to all.  What attracted us the most to TSFL was the simplicity and lack of effort associated. The goal is to eat 6 small meals a day, five of which are provided for you in Medifast meal replacements. The one meal not provided is to be a lean and green meal which is explained in detail as to what it should and should not contain. PERFECT!  Thom has tried weight loss plans before where there were similar ideals of many small meals a day and there were recipes to choose from. I spent at least an hour in the mornings preparing all of his meals for the day. Um....I have 5 young children. I do not have the time to do that right now and Thom does not particularly want to wake up an extra hour before work to do such. He has tried fad diets of crackers, tuna, cottage cheese as well as others. You can only eat these items for so long. He now cannot stand to eat cottage cheese. He has tried using the information we already know on what is and what is not healthy, counting calories, trying to choose good options, working out. But all of this did not stick. We are very busy people. We need simplicity or it's not going to happen. And TSFL offered that to us! We are excited and very hopeful that this journey will be a success!
