I joined the Pasadena location and started the day after Christmas 2012. As of today (04.12.2013), I am down 40lbs which is half way to my goal, which is guaranteed to be done before Independence Day 2013.\r

I see many valid points about the program being very expensive & it was a bit of a shocker for me too. Especially when I am the sole breadwinner of a family of 5. But, it is a matter of what is your health worth to you. I have struggled with weight my whole life. I was the fat kid and spent my 20's weighing 200+ (at 5'2"", I was a size 18/20). Now that I am finished having children (mother of 3 ages: 10, 3 & 2), I decided I wanted the energy to spend time with my children. This program works for me for many reasons:\r
1) I do not have to go to group meetings or count points like with weigh watchers\r
2) I am not eating boxed meals like Nutrisystem or Jenny Craig or lean cuisines. \r
3) I have someone to check in with multiple times per week who is giving support that I need and little reminders that it will happen\r
4) I am making a lifestyle change that is teaching how I should eat and little tricks to creatively make meals healthier\r

Think about this...\r
If you used a personal trainer, how much would you pay?\r
How much does it cost to do the ""My Fit Foods 30 day challenge""?\r
How much would weigh loss surgery cost?\r
Would you pay for a personal chef? If so, how much would that cost you?\r
How long would you need to pay for these things?\r
Who is holding your hand and making sure you stick with the weight loss goals you have set for yourself?\r

My mother recently joined with me and she has a laundry list of food allergies which prohibit her from doing most weight loss programs. This is one that we were able to customize for her because she is cooking her own meals.\r

Yes, the program is expensive, but the weight loss goal time frames are generally short ones (less than 6 months), so it is short term expense for long term results. \r

Good luck to anyone struggling with weight, it is certainly a battle!
