Retrofit is not so much diet as much as it a new way to think about food and living a healthy lifestyle. The coaches are very positive and personable. The app is very easy to use and the Retrofit team works on helping you develop a health relationship with food and encourages you to develop new and positive habits that will stay with you long after you have completed the program. I have already started sharing lessons with coworkers and friends. The constant follow up from the team help you progress towards your personal goals. While the weekly classes help introduce you to new ideas regarding your health in a simple and easy format that minimized that overwhelmed feeling when trying to change your life. Everything is based on small achievable goals that are created with the help of your coach. I have learned more about healthy eating than I ever knew before starting this program.

It's not a diet it's a life style change. I keep saying I feel like "me" again. I've lost almost 20 lbs. in 6 months. It's not fast it's slow changes. I walk every day and have modified my eating habits. I feel better. I like the counselor she's given me good ideas. It's actually pretty simple, the biggest thing was getting my "head right" and changing my relationship with food.

Retrofit is the first weight loss program that truly cares about total health, not just losing the pounds. I have lost 55 pounds through eating right and exercising. You have to bring the right mindset to the process. Then Retrofit provides the support, including tools as well as a first-rate advisor (thank you Giselle). They also provide recognition and accountability to ensure continued success. If you had told me 6 months ago that I could lose 55 pounds by eating normal food, tracking it, with no supplements or crazy protein shakes, I would not have believed it. Well, it is true. I do exercise every day and log all my food, but I love it. I have never felt better or been this size in my adult life. My weight loss advisor has been critical to my success - always available to respond to questions and encourages me every step of the journey. I am so grateful for Retrofit. I travel for my work and still am able to eat healthy and exercise. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to get healthy.

This is a great program for anyone who is serious about their health. Effectiveness I lost over 10% of my body weight and dropped my total cholesterol by 50 points. My biometric stats have improved greatly. This took me 11 months to accomplish. Side Effects Side effects include smaller waist size, higher self esteem, a positive body image and improved energy. Ease of Use Very easy to use. No pricey foods to buy or crazy work outs or recipes to adhere to. The approach is so simple that I have successfully incorporated it into my daily life, even after completing the program. The knowledge gained through both your coach and the webinars give you the information to set you up for long term success.

Retrofit is a very smart weight loss and lifestyle improvement system. I purchased a lose-15-pounds-in-a-year program that included two coaching sessions per month, a Fitbit -- a cool little wifi device to track my steps, a high tech Withings scale that calculates BMI, percent of lean and fat tissue, and an online food logging system with a way to connect with my coaches and track progress. My coaches, Registered Dietician, Stefanie Painter and Behavior Coach, Jen Rose, were impressively skilled professionals who supported me to be me while making lasting changes to my lifestyle and mindset. I never felt shamed or pressured. But they weren't afraid to ask me questions to uncover the ways I sabotage my health. Jen had so many simple but effective ideas to help me stay on track. Stefanie came up with a brilliant way to help my digestion heal that none of my other doctors thought of. I credit that one simple suggestion as a pathway to greater healing and lasting weight loss. I can't say enough about my coaches. I felt like I had a team of support. And I could reach out to others on the Retrofit team such as technical support for the Fitbit and Withings scale, which were only needed once. I lost my Fitbit at one point and they quickly sent out another at a big discount. I was not only overweight but also suffering with serious inflammation and edema all over my body. I had joint pain that kept me from exercising and would wake up every morning with debilitating back pain. Working with my Fitbit coaches I soon realized that I wasn't fully digesting my dinner and that was creating all sorts of problems. I learned to alter my portions but also watch my body's responses and make small alterations. The Retrofit philosophy is not lose it fast or count calories. They teach you to be aware of your body, the way you eat and how you think about food. It's not a strict doctrine but a transformative process. There's a set of guidelines that apply to everyone but there rest of the program is highly customized to the individual. My goals were to lose 15 pounds and heal the inflammation in my gut. I hit my weight goal half way through the program and then went on to drop an additional 5 pounds. 8 months later all the weight is still off. I know how to modulate my food intake to maintain my weight or lose a bit more. I actually weigh less than I ever have since adulthood! It's fun to be able to buy the "skinny clothes" I've never been able to wear before. And, I'm also having all my "fat" clothes altered so I can wear my favorite things again. My doctor is impressed with the guidance I've had from my coaches. My digestion is getting better by leaps. I'd tried so many things before that either didn't work or made me sicker. I know now that if I stick with this I'll continue to get healthier and healthier. That's a big deal for me because I had lost all hope. I'm able to exercise regularly now without joint pain so I'm building muscle and strength. I have more stamina. I can hike and take longer walks. I'm back into yoga. I'll always be grateful for the personalized guidance and savvy encouragement of my Retrofit team. And I still get to use the logging features, Fitbit and Withings scale on my own.

This program was the first one to really help me lose the weight and stay motivated. Having the team I had was integral in my weight loss. I felt very supported! Still do just not in the full capacity I had while in the program. The coaches are encouraging and motivating! I learned quite a bit from them. Side Effects This depends! I am not sure how to answer this one! Does the question imply a negative side effect or a positive one? LOL! Good side effect: I'd give it a 10! You lose weight and feel great about yourself. Bad side efffects...NONE! Ease of Use Very easy to use and understand. The coaches are always available to answer questions, change lifestyle habits etc etc. I highly recommend this program. You would pay the same amount to join a structured weight loss program (Nutrisystem, Weight watchers etc) and this was much better! More lasting effects too!

Retrofit is a coaching program where you have a team of experts that help you. You start off just logging everything you eat and do. You get your scale and your fitbit going and set up, and then you start having calls with your team. They analyze things and coach you through the process of building healthy habits. You have a behavior coach, a nutritionist, and an exercise coach. Each day you post what you ate and what you did, and you communicate with them all often via your "timeline" on the site and via scheduled Skype calls. You post about any challenges you had or anything you are worried about and you talk through them. This team has your back, and it's great. Effectiveness I have gained and lost a large amount of weight several times in my life. However I have had many challenges getting it to stick. In fact last year (2013) I lost 20+ pounds, hit a low in May, and gained it all back (and then some). I was very frustrated and felt totally helpless. I decided to join Retrofit at the end of last year (2013) because I wanted a team to support me every day. I have lost 60 pounds since my highest-ever weight on January 1, 2014. My weight is lower today than it has been in more than 12 years. I am making much healthier choices every day and I am still losing weight. Side Effects This is a coaching service, not a pill. There are no side effects. Ease of Use Retrofit provides the tools to help you form healthy habits and stick with them. The website is very easy to use, you can respond to conversations via e-mail, and they even have an iPhone app. Overall everything is very straightforward and not hard to figure out. But you must put in the effort. You get out what you put in. If you don't go on the website, don't have the calls, don't post what you ate, and don't work on your health and weight loss, you won't get anything out of it.

Started using this program after my company signed up with Retrofit. The different coaches that are you get (each in their own specialty) really help to tackle weight loss from all angles. They really are there to see you succeed, not for their own goals. Highly recommended!
