Diet Meal Delivery & So Much More, Pt 5

2007-10-29T12:37:00.000-04:00

One of the most important aspects of weight-loss is support, but good support can be hard to find (I'll refrain from making the requisite "athletic support" joke). Luckily, with more than 100 different support groups to choose from, eDiets has you covered! And, you're sure to find a group that is just right for you. From health and happiness to struggles and successes, you can discuss your concerns with peers and experts alike, who can relate to your experiences.

The New Members support group is great for getting you started and acclimated to the site. In the DeliciouslyYours support group you can get feedback from Nutrition Support and talk with other members that are on the plan, sharing favorite meals, tips, and getting the most out of your plan.

If motivation is what you are looking for, then our challenges may be just what you are looking for to kick-start your weight loss with a little friendly competition. They are also a fun way to compete with other members and teams to reach your healthy goals. Choose from more than a dozen different challenge groups within the support area.

Successful Member of the Meal Delivery Weight Loss Program

2007-09-21T13:24:00.000-04:00

Holly lost 22 lbs on the eDiets Meal Delivery Plan!

Although 33-year-old Holly B. has been an avid exerciser for years, she still felt unhealthy and caught in the yo-yo dieting trap. Holly wanted to get healthier and adopt a style of eating she could easily maintain, even while attending veterinary school full-time.

Enter eDiets DeliciouslyYours Meal Delivery Plan! Holly had been a successful member of the eDiets online program years ago, but left the program, strayed from her plan and eventually regained all she'd lost. It was part of a pattern of weight loss and regain that riddled Holly's past.

She came back to eDiets once again, and this time discovered the DeliciouslyYours meal delivery weight-loss program! She had just been thinking how great it would be if she could find a healthy, balanced and well-portioned meal delivery plan that was affordable... and voila!

The DeliciouslyYours plan has been easy for Holly to follow. "It's the easiest plan to stick with by far," Holly says. She has many favorites on the plan, including the Lasagna, Cheesy Penne Pasta and Chicken Vesuvio, but as she says, "It's all really good, I eat everything that's available, I just cycle through all of the meals! The list of what I like far outweighs the list of what I don't!" Best of all, she loves that each meal is well-balanced and perfectly portioned -- it's one less thing she has to think about while trying to balance full-time school, studying, workouts and family time!

We were so inspired by Holly's story that we asked her to be part of our most recent commercial for eDiets weight loss program. Take a peek at our newest star behind the scenes!
