This is one of the best decisions I have ever made as an adult. The investment is well worth it. The return on my investment even better! I started the program on October 11, 2001. Today it is exactly 21 weeks and I am 73.5 pounds thinner. I feel great, my cholesterol has dropped tremendously, and now in the normal range... I have lots of energy and haven't even had as much as a cold since I started. The plan is easy to follow, I cook ahead once every two weeks and freeze my meals...then they are ready within minutes of needing them. Previous to finding this way of life, I had tried most every diet known to man and beast... I highly recommend this program to anyone who needs to lose weight!

I started this program October 7,2001 weighing in at a whopping 291 pounds. As of March 3, 2002 I have loss 77 pounds and now weigh 214 pounds. This program really does work if you follow it like it says. If you tweak the program your results will be less than desired but most likely you will still lose weight. I am never hungry eating every 2-3 hours and drinking the required amount of water keeps me satisfied. In the beginning it took some getting use to not using salts or oils to season my food. With time like anything else you learn how to make the adjustments and become quite creative. I recommend it to any one that is serious about losing weight and making a lifestyle change. We all know that losing weight is sometimes the easy part keeping it off is the tough part. With this program it is a lifestyle change and I believe that that I will be able to keep my weight off once I reach my goal. So far I am on track I plan to be at my goal weight in mid July.

I have been using this program for 7 weeks and have lost 25 pounds so far (goal is to lose 38). This program is fabulous because it teaches you how to stay in control. I have learned all about how my body processes the foods I eat. Emphasis of this program is to eat natural foods instead of processed foods. I allow myself cheats now and then, but stay on the program most of the time and I'm continuing to lose. Everyone at work is amazed at how fast the weight has dropped and it's been painless. If you order this product, be prepared to lose lots of pounds!!

I think this is a great product that has taught me healthy eating practices for the rest of my life. I even discussed it with my doctor, and to quote her: "It sounds like you're doing everything right." I ordered this program when I had hit a plateau on a self-designed program. In six weeks, I lost 25 pounds. I will be using the principles of the six-week body makeover every day. This is the real thing. And it teaches you how to stay lean once the initial "diet" phase is over.

I think this diet is very good in concept. However, I found myself burned out on all the cooking, dishwashing, and measuring/weighing foods. If you have to eat 5 or 6 times a day you have to cook ahead and divide into portions so you end up eating the same foods at least for a day or two, possibly longer depending on your body type. I don't have a dishwasher and I had lots of microwaveable dishes to wash by hand each day. My husband wanted to do it with me and his body type was completely opposite of mine so I had to prepare different foods for him and for me daily. For the price, I would not recommend this diet.

Complete crap!! After six weeks I had only lost ten pounds and was sick, sick, sick. A total waste of money, time and energy. It took me almost another six weeks to recover from the effects of this program.

I ordered this program in the hopes that I could lose some extra weight that I had put on after having my 3rd child. The infomercial made sense to me, so I was really geared up for it. Unfortunately, after I received the program, I looked through the meal plans -- and actually tried some -- but they just did not appeal to me. Also, I have 4 other people in the house to make meals for, and I just thought that it was too time-consuming making meals for myself and something totally different for the rest of my family. I think that this program would be fine for a single person or maybe a couple, but not for someone with a family.

I am now into my 8th day of the 6 week body makeover program, and have already lost an amazing 3cm off my waist. I am getting a little impatient right now, as I just cant seem to grasp on to the fact that I need to eat tuna 3 times a day. I mean I love tuna, but 3 times is a little too much. So I have decided to be a little more flexible. I have never been one for turkey, but am about to embark on eating it, if it is going to help. So far, I recommend this, though I am finding it hard to see the shrinkage on myself.

This 6WBMO is fabulously amazing! I have tried all of the oldest & latest diet programs including Adipex diet pills, Weight Watchers and my own concoctions and on most I lost some weight, but mostly gained it back. They were diets, this is a lifestyle change. It requires investment of money, utensils and time. But investment of these things usually translates into stronger commitment. I am committed! I could go on for hours about the benefits, but suffice it to say, I started the plan July 8, at 223 lbs. Today, August 11, 2002, 5-weeks later, I have lost 22.5 lbs. $$$ very well spent. I am a happy "loser" and would recommend this program to anyone who is very serious about making a change in their life to look and feel better.

I am a 23 year old university student who has been on the plan for a week now. I have lost 12 pounds. This product works. Yes, it's time-consuming to prepare (and eat) all that food. Yes, perhaps the food is bland at times (depending on your body type) but their are lots of resources where you can get new recipes to make the food work for you. Yes, you are required to do daily exercise. Yes, it is an expensive kit to buy. Is it worth it? Absolutely. If you are serious about losing weight, this plan will work for you. You have to commit to wanting a better body and if that means altering your daily schedule slightly to accommodate meals, that's what you have to do. I go to school during the days and work during the nights and weekends. I can still prepare all my meals in advance and eat all my meals on time. This is not as easy as popping the lid on a ready-made shake! You do have to invest time into this program - but it will be worth it in the long run when you look and feel better than you figured you could.

Tried the makeover. And I did lose 7 pounds, but that was in a 3 week period. If I eat one wrong thing I gain a pound back. Also got very tired of eating oatmeal or egg whites every morning. I tried to refund it and they would not take back, since I had had it 7 weeks even though everything that I read said nothing about having to be with in the 6 week period. I still have it just packed away. It was a big waste of money!!!!

I received the package and reviewed its contents. Not a bad program if you are able to adhere to the eating schedule and you like all of the foods listed in the plan.

I purchased the 6 week body makeover and while I did lose 8 pounds in the first week, I found the program impossible to maintain. I gained back all the weight I lost. I got sick of chicken, rice, and oatmeal. It is impossible for real people to adhere to the plan of eating every 2 to 3 hours...I work, I can't take 10 minutes every couple of hours to heat up chicken and chili!
- Laura of New Jersey, USA writes:
Just received this product and reviewed the instructions. It is a bit complex and takes awhile to understand the workings. You can eat 6 meals a day but the choices are restricted. No milk or milk products (skim or otherwise), or fats. Too restricting for long term.

I purchased this product in August of 2001 and didn't start it until October due to a surgery. I was losing an average of 5 lbs per week. The first week I lost the most (11 lbs). This product does work BUT it is very hard to follow the program. I have been home for over a year on disability now. So I have all the time in the world to do this program. If I was still working and had a normal life, I could not keep up with eating every 2-3 hours, drinking all the water and making pit stops every 2-3 hours also. Don't get me wrong, this is the best way to lose weight. It's all natural no pills, shakes or diet foods. You eat real food just without all the salt and fat...basically bland foods. I have found ways to add flavor and still lose weight. You just have to be creative with your food. I have started the program again and am now on my 3rd week. I am not really wanting to lose weight this time around though. Just want to shape a few spots. That's the good thing about this product, you can customize what you want to do with your body whether lose weight, lose inches, shape and tone or just be healthy. I really like this product. I especially recommend this to anyone that has trouble around the holidays...either start 6 weeks before the holidays or start immediately after as your new year's resolution!

I bought the 6 Week Body Makeover in August of 2002, I was on the plan for 2 weeks and lost 15lbs. I went off the plan because I spent every night cooking and exercising. I found the food that I ate bland and I was starving after every meal that I ate (my stomach was still grumbling). You are basically eating 1 meal stretched out over a day. I gained all my weight back and then some after I went off the plan. I am back on the plan now but I modified it: I cook my food for the week ahead, It takes me 2 hours and I'm done for the week (just pop in mike and reheat) so you still have time to cook for others. Plus I allow myself to cheat once in awhile - so if I want to go out for supper I'll go out for supper, If I'm still hungry and want a piece of chocolate I'll have a piece of chocolate - just not all the time, and not in excess. Plus on Sundays (or once a week) I eat whatever I want. This way I don't feel deprived. I'm still losing weight - more slowly than the last time, but I don't feel deprived, or that I'm missing out. This is working for me much better, and I feel better too!

I made the decision of purchasing 6wbmo when I saw the infomercial. The price scared me at first and then I felt overwhelmed with the information. Fortunately, forums full of information are available. I found recipes, answers to my questions and all the support I needed. I may have not kept it if the support wasn't there. Started on July 1st, and lost 31 pounds in the first 6 weeks. Now after 5 months, I have lost 70 pounds and went from size 22/24 to 12. This is not a diet; you have to be committed to new eating habits for the rest of your life. I was never hungry and managed to eat 6 times a day even on a business trip.

This product isn't all that it's cracked up to be. I bought it and thought it was a dream come true! I am about 30 pounds overweight and this says it would be no problem to lose. WRONG! I had to cook and eat bland food all day and if I wasn't eating on schedule, I felt very guilty. The exercise portion of this is too much, it includes too many different things that you have to do. I would recommend a regular cardio and weight program, you can get the same results. I did!

I bought this program in Jan 2002, and in the past 12 months lost 65 lbs. Great right, for me yes! But this program is not a diet it's a life change. So if you can't plan your life it's not for you!!! You have to plan and cook for 6 meals a day. Most people will complain that the meals are plan with no taste, but I bet these people don't know how to cook unless it's in a premade box. I cook once a week for the whole week. Easy! You really do have to have a understanding of how to COOK!! If you can't cook, this is not for you! As for the workouts. You do 18 minutes twice a week. I did this with a little extra tummy work once a week. They send you a video with ALL the workout for everyone. Way to much information. So I made a copy of the tape with just what I needed in the order that I needed them in. Easy! Well to conclude this ... this program is the hardest and the easyest out there. If you're an organized person you can do it. If you're not, don't bother!

This is the most decieving product EVER! My mom who is 140 lbs and 5'5" wanted to lose just 10 pounds. She saw this crappy thing on HSN and Micheal made it seem much more sane than it really was. Ok so we get the massive amount of product and my mom is type C and she can only eat tuna, chicken, non-starchy veggies and a little oatmeal in tiny amounts. Too restricting but she loved the excercise program. Just a note if you are considering this plan: The meal plan is VERY VERY restricting... if you have really good willpower do it but if you're like my mom and enjoy some carbs then this will not work.
