I have the work out routine in line, going 5 times a week for 1-1.5 hours of exercise. I have pretty much cut out the sugar. I have been using the Alli. I have lost 1 pound. I am still eating too much. I have just not gotten used to working at home, in the kitchen.
So I was looking for a way to narrow my options. I was looking around at the Kaiser website to see what they offer - after all, we are paying $1350 a month for our health care plan. But all the weight loss options they offer are not covered by our plan. They see aiding weight loss along the lines of cosmetic surgery and Lasik -as a money making opportunity. They offer a program using Optifast with a support group, but they will not reveal the cost. You have to sign up and attend a class.
So, I thought I would shop around for other, similar options. I found Medifast online. Their plan is 5 mini pre-made meals and one "lean and green" meal. That appeals to me because I can make a meal for the family and adjust my part to fit the plan.
I could order the shakes, bars, soups, etc. online or drive a few miles to a center. Since I want to start tomorrow - I went to the center.
I had to laugh. It is located in a shopping center which contains a BBQ restaurant, McDonalds, a pizza parlor and was nestled in between Taco Bell and Dairy Queen!!! The clients have to be very dedicated to make it out of the the shopping center with their will power intact!
I bought 2 weeks worth of products...I will report in on the weekend.
