Retrofit

I have been on the Retrofit program for 12 weeks and it has changed my way of thinking regarding eating and excercise. To date I have lost 9 pounds.

When I received a pre-diabetic diagnosis from my doctor, I was depressed. If I didn't lose weight, I was very likely to become fully diabetic with all the heath challenges that would bring. I was determined to make a change.

But I didn't want a crash diet, and I didn't want a "group activity" based program. I didn't want to eat "special" meals and I needed this to fit into my busy schedule.

Retrofit was and is the perfect program for a person like me. It uses technology to keep you informed and accountable. It's a long-term commitment, not a quick-fix. The experts they provide are super experienced and super supportive. We meet via Skype when it's convenient for me.

But ultimately, the responsibility is mine. They give me the tools and knowledge, but I need to make it happen. They set a realistic pace and I feel like I could live this way forever.

I've now lost over 30 lbs and am totally confident I can lose even more and keep it off. They have really changed the way I think about eating and exercise. Slow and steady wins the race.

I'd recommend this approach to any busy professional who wants a realistic approach to losing weight and getting healthy.

It is not like any other program I have tried. It focuses on small goals and changes.You have a team to talk about struggles that work with you to offer other ways of thinking about the problems you face . The technology helps you really see the little things can add up with graphs and weekly progress information . This program is not a diet its lifestyle. Thanks Retrofit !

Retrofit is hands down the best program out there. I have been on every "diet" there is over the years with quick losses only to gain the weight back. With the accountability, the tools provided and my team support I have managed to lose in a healthy sustainable way. I feel great and have changed my relationship with food and exercise. Retrofit has changed my life and I will be forever grateful.

I have lost about 22 pounds and this is the first time the weight loss feels sustainable. The diet really gets you to think differently about eating and lifestyle, so I am certain this will be a long term solve, not just another crash diet. Thank you retrofit, it has been wonderful!!!

Well, I have tried a few diet programs, WW, watching what I eat and have only lost a few pounds here and there.

With Retrofit and the support I recieved, I was able to lose 10% of my body weight in 8 weeks. Almost 20 lbs! I feel great and like the use of Skype and the flexibility of Retrofit. The coaches are awesome and are very supportive of how to make it work and lose weight.

It is what I have been looking for and would highly recommend it to anyone!

I am a member of Retrofit and the program has all of the key elements to enable very busy people to lose weight in a very healthy manner

Retrofit has been nothing short of life changing. I’m 30 pounds lighter and have kept it off for a year. Their knowledgeable, supportive team helped me crack the code on what I needed to change in my routine to finally achieve the results I wanted. Their use of technology is smart and motivational – it was great setting daily goals of how many steps I would take with a pedometer and really fun to watch the scale steadily show progress. I now feel totally in control, like it is second nature to eat well and exercise as part of my daily activities. And, I don’t feel like I’m on a diet. I know I can have cake or pizza or whatever, but then have a plan to ensure that I don’t go off track. I feel 10 years younger and feel great! Thank you Retrofit!

No different than JC or WW. They are all out there to get rich at our expense...

I've tried a lot of weight loss programs: Weight Watchers (6 or 7 times, at least), NutriSystems, calorie-counting, etc. I never stuck with them over the long haul. There was always some "inconvenience" factor that gave me an excuse to slack off. I'm really busy, and it was hard to get myself to go to weekly meetings, or religiously count calories, or whatever.

But I think I'm going to be able to stick with this program. To begin with, my advisors are experts in their fields, and that goes a long way with me. And they've gone out of their way to work with *my* schedule and with my particular situation. I couldn't ask for better support.

The automatic upload scale and the FitBit have worked well for me. The FitBit is especially cool, because it showed me how little sleep I was getting. Making an adjustment there made a big difference in my motivation.

I would highly recommend this program. Pricey, but it's like having the experts in the room with you. I've lost 40 pounds, and I'm still going.

To echo many of the comments above, Retrofit has been wonderful for me. It actually delivers on what many other programs try to provide, which is a true "lifestyle" change rather than just a diet. The data tracking scale and pedometer are awesome, the Skype sessions are intense but totally help you focus, and the dashboard provides an easy way to stay in touch and track your progress and your daily successes/challenges. I love the accountability I have to my "team" of experts, but they amaze me with their ability to support without judging. I don't need a "mom" figure telling me what I should do - they have really helped with practical suggestions as well as helping me identify and change unhealthy habits! My weight loss has been more slow and steady over the past year but I feel wonderful and Retrofit has let me decide whether I'm happy with the slow and steady approach (I am - this feels like something I will never be "off" of, and therefore I have no fear that the weight will come back. I just keep plugging away!).

I have dieted all my life, really!! Since I signed up for the Retrofit program almost a year ago, not only am I almost at my goal weight, but for the first time I feel I have found a program that has helped me look at living a healthy lifestyle, not just losing weight. I feel awesome and others say I look "incredible". No longer do I talk about my "diet" now I talk about the support that I received from my 3, yes 3, coaches! They helped me see the patterns in my life which have caused my 40 years of yoyo weight loss. NO MORE! Take a chance on you and sign up! If you stay true to your committment, you too will see the success that I have.

During the first 12 weeks of the Retrofit program I consistently lost about 1.5 lbs of fat per week so I quickly reached my 10% weight loss goal and I have never felt better about eating, exercising, and how I feel and look.

I have also found that keeping the weight off has been easy, since the retrofit program changed my eating and exercising HABITS. I never felt like I was on a special “diet”. Instead, under the guidance of my Retrofit coaches, I stopped eating unhealthy foods, I continued to eat my favorite healthy foods, and paid attention to my food portions, all of which make for a life-long lifestyle change. This good nutrition combined with simple fat burning exercises (such as walking) and paying attention to my habitual behavior makes for an incredibly successful overall fitness program.

With my weight reduction successfully behind me (so to speak) I am now focusing on building some lean mass through weight lifting, and I was elated to find out that the Retrofit coaches can also guide me through the new goal of muscle strengthening. I started the Retrofit program with the simple goal of weight loss, but now I realize I can accomplish so much MORE and feel even better!

Although the Retrofit program appears a bit pricey, the return on the 1 year investment for changing my lifestyle is enormous. I consider it preventative health care costs. Plus you get some very cool and effective fitness tracking devices that you can use for years.

I have been so impressed with my results that I purchased Retrofit packages for 2 more of my family members and they are seeing great results as well. I can't recommend it enough!

After starting and stopping with a long litany of weight loss and exercise programs, I finally found RetrofitMe, and it is working! For the last four months I have experienced a fairly steady 1.5 pound loss EACH WEEK. The magic for me is threefold: 1) use of simple technology to measure and display progress, 2) focus on eating nothing but a healthy diet, 3) fun counseling using Skype with four sharp, knowledgeable, and highly professional young ladies for diet, exercise, behavior and overall progress. It just doesn’t get any better than this.
I have reached my initial goal of 10% weight loss, and I am now moving toward my real goal to lose 20% -- I can see clearly that it is achievable and, quite frankly, it is very exciting. Thank you RetrofitMe!!! And, thank you Jen, Lori, Jade, and Angie – you are making this easy and fun.

Retrofit is absolutely fantastic. You get personalized attention from a team of experts who help adapt the program to your particular needs and challenges. In just six months I've made major changes to how I eat, move, and think. Best of all, the whole thing has been remarkably easy and low-stress.

My only caveat is that you pay for the deluxe service. Retrofit is not cheap! That said, I think it's worth every penny. I'm only willing to spend my time and money on a program that works - and that's going to give me the skills to continue maintaining healthy habits for the rest of my life.

Highly recommended - A+++++.

LOVE ME some Retrofit

I've worked for other weight loss companies and this is such a cool approach. Just feels good to help people build a better lifestyle for the long haul :)

Retrofit is an expertly designed program with realistic, long-term goals and informed support to make sure you get there. The thing I think is most powerful is that Retrofit takes into account the fact that your mindset is probably the most essential thing to change if you are to reach your goals for the long haul. Plus the wireless devices make it fun. I think this program has the potential to change the way the weight loss industry works!

Data-driven. The real deal. I like it so much, I want to be an evangelist. I suppose with this post, I sort of am. Try it. Intense, but it works. Worth the price.

I've never experienced support and education from experts on how to really live the right way like I have from Retrofit. A nutritionist planned my meals with me with food I like to eat (and told me what to eat less of and totally stop eating). A physiologist M.D. explained how my body burns calories and what to focus on to get the best results. And a trainer told me exactly what to do when I exercise, to take all the guesswork out of it. The best part is all of these experts work together for Retrofit, so their advice was coordinated and all of it was specific to me and my goal. Nothing out there personalizes weight-loss like Retrofit. After being on a plateau for two years, I've started losing again and am halfway to my first goal.
