I decided to join MyBodytutor after finding myself at a loss with my weight creeping up and none of my efforts successful. Like many, I have a long history of dieting. I have tried all sorts of diets either too extreme, too expensive, or too restrictive. I have sometimes lost weight but regained it quickly after getting back to my eating habits. What I found with MyBodytutor was different: it was about changing habits for the long term. I had a coach talking to me every week, listening to my struggles, and “coaching” me into finding solutions. It is not a one size fits all diet. The daily accountability and feedback have probably been the most useful to me. Through 1:1 calls with my coach Cheryl, I was also able to make key adjustments: I changed my breakfast habits, considerably improved my lunches, and learned tips on how to navigate travel and restaurant eating. I lost 14 pounds in about 6 months thanks to these adjustments. It has felt manageable and reasonable all along which I find amazing. I have hit plateaus: Cheryl helped me make more small adjustments (I have never had issues with being consistent riding my bike several times a week, but I added strength training that I actually enjoy and worked on walking more - both made a difference). Finally, a big part of our discussions were focused on stress management and sleep: it is really a holistic program and I found that my coach was kind, non-judging, yet truly motivating.
