NON-INVASIVE

Please forgive me if I'm in the wrong place, but I'm seeking a non-invasive, physician-supervised weight loss program in the Philadelphia area. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Mike, I am on a doctor approved non-invasive weight loss program and have lost 230 pounds in just about 2 years. The program is called Take Shape for Life. If you want to talk about it let me know. I would be glad to fill you in and help you out. Joe

Wow Joe! You are inspriational! I would like to know more about the program. I have a friend who is about 350 who feels that it would be impossible to do on her own.

Hi Cammy, I am happy to tell you about the program I am doing. In a nut shell you eat every 3 hours or a total of 6 meals per day. You have 5 meal replacements and 1 lean and green meal. You do not get hungry when doing this program and you lose weight quickly and safely. The meals taste good and are filling. This has been used by doctors for over 25 years. One great part of the program is there is a person to help coach you through your weight loss, and most times it is someone that has done just what you are doing. It is not just a customer service person trying to answer the questions. There is also weekly calls to listen in and ask questions from a nurse and a doctor. If your friend can access my profile it shows some pictures and part of my story. I started off much heavier than her and you can let her know it is possible to do without surgery. I was going to have surgery but found this program and the rest as they say is history. Cammy if you or your friend would like some more information please let me know. This program is truly amazing and I have met meny others that are on this weight loss program that have lost a lot of weight so it is not just one or two people. This program has both saved and changed my life! Joe

Hi Joe I would love some info on your plan please. I am concidering WLS but would rather do it without surgery. Is it expensive? Hugs Myra

Hi Myra, As you can see from the previous post that the plan is very simple and safe to do and I too was going to have surgery but found this. There is a web site it is www.befit4life.tsfl.com That will explain a lot more than I can here. The cost is about $1.80 per meal. The cost is about the same as if you were buying food at the store. You are just buying it from someplace else, except for the lean and green part. I hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can try and help with. Joe

I wanted to comment on the Take Shape for Life program. I looked at what you could eat, and how much it cost, and I feel it's too expensive (starts at $99.00), and I don't want to eat just one item for 5 meals. That's too much like the Slimfast Diet, and I hated that. I'm going to Overeaters Anonymous, and that's the slow and safe way. Denise Phares

Hi Denise, I felt the same way about the cost when I first took a look at the program but it is only $1.80 per meal on average. I know that can sound expensive to some but if it works for you and you are purchasing food at the store all you are doing is shopping someplace else. The $99.00 program you spoke about I am not familar with but there is far more than just one food to choose from. There are around 80 different choices, so this will help most people from eating the same thing all the time and getting bored. I am happy to hear that you have found a program that works for you in Overeaters Anonymous and it takes many different program to help others achieve their goal weight. One thing I know for sure is that the Take Shape for Life program works for me and many others. It has both saved and changed my life forever! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Joe
