Reset: Lasting Weight Loss 4+

After Covid struck a year ago I went from on the go and at the gym to stick at home. Workouts were a struggle and my eating couldn’t adjust to my new lifestyle. I gained 15 pounds and was unsuccessful in finding a way to turn it around. I felt awful. Finally after repeatedly telling myself it was too expensive I signed up for Reset.
Initially I went with two days a week, but after trying the food and enjoying it I decided to speed up my results. A quick note to my coach John had me going three days a week.
In just over four weeks I’ve lost seven pounds and expect to easily hit my goal before warm weather.
I’ll be 60 this year and was a fitness instructor before Covid so it’s that really hard to lose weight I’m dealing with. You know, those last 10-15 pounds anyone finds themselves stuck with after dieting. And it seems harder to lose weight when you’ve been working out can’t make a lot of healthy lifestyle changes too. (I had a good routine of exercise for a month or more before Reset with no change.)
Thanks Reset. Knowing I can have it tomorrow if I really want it makes a difference.

I’ve been using Reset with coach John’s support for 9 weeks now and my weight loss is solid at a pound a week. That may not be fast, but it is so doable and sustainable, which works best for me. I love only having to track my food two days per week, letting those two days help train me to eat more mindfully, and having the weight come off. Two Reset days is perfect and keeps me on track. I’m making changes and enjoying many non scale victories in eating more healthfully. I’ve rated the program a 4 and not a 5 because I feel like the training support under the “habits” tab could be increased. Most other apps I’ve used give you content daily and I only get updates on that tab once weekly, maybe twice sometimes, so I don’t even check it very often anymore. There’s so much that could be offered there. Tracking is easy except that the barcode scanner is glitchy and doesn’t always work, but most foods are there in the search or I only have to add calories and protein, so it’s easy to add my own favorites quickly. Reset works and has been easy for me to implement and John has been supportive and responsive and has answered my questions or provided help in a timely manner when needed. Thanks, Reset, for helping me get on a healthier path!

I started eating healthy 2 1/2 years ago. One day I looked at the scale and I was 159. I said to my self “No way am I going into the 160’s. So I started a healthy eating style of mostly meat and veggies. I cut out sugar, white flour and a bunch of stuff. Eating healthy, I lost about 18 lbs. but suddenly gained a couple of lbs. again and couldn’t get started losing again. And then I found this way of eating, with the restart days. I have just been on this way of eating for less than a week, but have lost a couple of lbs. already and the big thing is that I feel more encouraged and like this is doable for the rest of my life instead of being punished daily. I’ve only had one reset day, but 2 resets a week is definitely possible instead of feeling bad when you occasionally eat something that is not on your plan. This is a life plan without guilt!

I have now had 2 reset days, and am down to 139.8. First time I have been under 140 in 40 years. I feel great!
