When Richard’s two children sat down with him on New Year’s Day to outline several life changes he needed to make to start caring for himself better, he took it to heart.

Two days later, Richard signed up for Diet-to-Go. Within five weeks, he lost 15 pounds and saw a rapid stabilization in his blood sugar levels.

And when he shared Diet-to-Go with a friend, who then went on to lose 80 lbs, he realized how powerful food choices can be.

For many people, a medical scare is the catalyst for making a big life change. That was certainly the case for 73-year-old Rodney Arnold, a retired Sacramento code enforcement officer from Hawaii who has shed more than 100 pounds with Diet-to-Go.

"I found out I had to have hip surgery," Rodney said, remembering a doctor's visit in late 2022. "They wouldn't touch me unless I lost a lot of weight and my BMI was 30."

When 56-year-old healthcare administrator David Rockwell went to see his doctor for an annual checkup in May, he knew walking in that he might not get good news. Sure enough, his bloodwork showed he faced many health issues, including high cholesterol and blood sugar. His doctor immediately talked about prescribing him several medications.

David decided before he settled for a regiment of medications he told his doctor he was going to make a concerted effort to make a major lifestyle change.

When Lara took her retirement trip to Kauai she loved it, but at 200 pounds she felt uncomfortable and was self-conscious.

"I was mad at myself for being so big during this special thing."

That was one catalyst that pushed Lara to make a change. She had tried dieting in the past, but ultimately decided to try Diet-to-Go. And when 55-year-old Lara recently fit comfortably into a pair of size 10 pants she’d held onto for years, it was a powerful moment for her.

Hailey’s 32nd birthday weekend in February was filled with the kinds of things most people like to do on their birthdays — dinner and drink outings, celebrations with friends, and enjoying time with her fiancé.

Denise, a 47-year-old marketing executive for a major pharmaceutical company, has been exercising nearly every day for years. She teaches spin classes three days a week, lifts weights five days a week, and does yoga one day a week.

Even as a fitness enthusiast Denise turned to Diet-to-Go to help lose those extra pounds with its ease, portion control, and high quality food. 

Working as a nurse at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic had no shortage of challenges. Just ask 37-year-old Michelle, who started her career as a nurse in 2017 and worked in labor and delivery and the emergency room.

“I was working insane hours,” Michelle said. “I’d work overnights and never had time to eat healthy.”

But then she found Diet-to-Go!

Like many of us, Louise Ebbert found that the pandemic suddenly created an isolated and sedentary lifestyle that she just wasn't used to. Her usual routine of active travel for work was disrupted, and the day the scale said 272 pounds she decided enough was enough. She had to make a change. She restarted Diet-to-Go that day.

"People are always waiting until tomorrow. You have to just make the decision and start now.”

Exactly one year later and Louise is down 85 lbs, and she wants to share her story so people who have been seeing the effects of Covid on their health and weight can see there is a way back.

Monica was at the community dojo for her black belt karate classes when she started having trouble breathing and ended up in the ER. After this scary medical crisis, she was diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular issues. It was Diet-to-Go that helped her lose 50 pounds, and get her health issues under control.

After struggling with weight issues her whole life, Tamara finally gave Diet-to-Go a try. It wasn't just a "diet plan"... it helped her discover a new way of life!

“When I look back now on my photos in my young 20s, I think I look really good,” Tamara said. “But back then, I didn’t think so. I always wanted to be skinnier. Emotionally, there was never a time I felt comfortable with my body. I was a normal healthy size, but I didn’t feel it. Now, I know I’m on the right path, which is emotionally putting me in a good place.”

Nancy, an 85-year-old retired teacher, had tried every diet you can name, and none of them worked out for her long term. Calorie tracking and portion control wasn't easy, and she hated feeling deprived of foods she loved.

Diet-to-Go changed that for her. With healthy, delicious meals delivered right to her door, she finally lost and kept off 50 pounds! And, being able to eat foods she enjoyed (like our Waffles with Blueberry Cream Cheese) made her feel like she wasn't even dieting!

Life as a single, working mom of two was tough. It was a challenge for Martha to maintain a schedule where she could plan healthy meals for herself... so drive-throughs helped her survive. She needed a change if she was going to create a healthy life-style.

“I was starving because I’d work right through lunch, so what did I do?” Martha said. “I would go right through the drive-throughs. I wasn’t going to make lunch. I didn’t want to go shopping.”

With our help, Martha learned proper portion control and how to stick with healthy, nutritious meals. She also credits us with making it easy to get back on track when she did have tough times. She just wanted to be healthy... and she is!

Finding lasting, long-term success when it comes to weight loss isn’t something that happens overnight — it’s a marathon, not a sprint. That’s the message Lauren Vaz wants to send, and it’s a mindset she’s embraced whole-heartedly when it comes to her own weight-loss success.

Attending college in a foreign country is a very exciting thing, one that thousands of students do every single year. That was certainly the case for Diet-to-Go customer Brahim Mellah, who went to France eight years ago for college and had a blast seeing the country, attending parties and events and studying for a master’s degree. 

But it also led to unwanted weight gain for the now-26 IT specialist.

After many failed starts and stops with other diet plans, Diet-to-Go was finally able to help Brahim rid himself of some of his unwanted weight.

Like the rest of the world, Cathrine Shinn faced many challenges in 2020 — navigating a pandemic, taking care of her parents, keeping up on her mental wellness and continuing to maintain her over 100-lb weight loss.

But for Cathrine, 2020 was also a year of important lessons, not the least of which was learning the difference between wants and needs.
