Members Who Changed Their Lives

I never thought that joining a website would change my life. But it definitely has! With the support of SYD's tools and community, I learned it's critical to keep moving forward. I've lost and kept off over 70 pounds.

Cindy

SYD has made an amazing difference in my life. The tools are invaluable for calculating calories and tracking your progress. I honestly don't know if I would still have 85 pounds off if it weren't for StartYourDiet.com.

Karen

The interactive charts and graphs drew me to this site, but the support of the message board and blogs will keep me a lifelong success story. I've lost 35 pounds and it's the best decision I've made.

Jynell

SYD lets me log in and track my weight, meals, water, exercise, vitamins, and measurements anytime, day or night. I love all the charts and graphs, which let me see my progress and figure out where things are going well and where I can improve. The community soon turned into real friends, not just online strangers. That's when my weight loss really took off. I was able to lose nearly 20 pounds in the SYD Biggest Loser competition, and I reached my goal of being below 140 — exactly one year after starting my membership.

Kimberly

I was drawn to SYD because of the quality of its graphs and charts. The charts helped me identify the things in my life that helped or hindered my weight loss and find the balance I needed. What I didn't expect was the incredible support I found. On SYD I was "safe" and could talk about anything. After losing 100 pounds, I no longer take any prescription medications and I am free of diabetes, high blood pressure, and fibromyalgia. Two years ago I could hardly walk to the car — now I can run a 5K and hike a mountain!

Amber

StartYourDiet.com is the tool that binds it all together for me. I log on every day and track everything. The charts, graphs, and planning tools are invaluable — by looking at the pace graph I stay motivated, and by looking at my weight history I remind myself how far I've come. I started my diet 294 days ago and have lost 104.2 pounds. I've lost 17 points on the BMI chart and reached 71% of my goal. StartYourDiet.com will be a lifelong tool I always need and use to help me stay on track. Thank you!
