I have been happy with this Program and it has worked relatively well for me. I am gluten intolerant and the food is gluten free. Also I'm type 2 diabetic which causes the weight loss to be slower because of added carbs in the diet . I have lost weight but not at goal. The best result has been lowering my A1C significantly and resulted in less medication. I plan to continue until I reach my goal. Meeting with a counselor helps me stay conscious of what I'm eating! read more

I have been going to the Fairfax office for a little over a year and have lost 80 pounds. The program has been a small miracle for me as I've done weight watchers (great, but I gained it back), and have seen two nutritionists with very minor success. This program is based on sound science and it works! It takes self-discipline, but the more progress I saw, the more disciplined I became. I have become a chronic label reader and now find it easy to reject products that are high in sugar or carbs as just not worth it. The key here is a diet rich in plant-based protein products, very limited carbohydrates, including sugar, and lean proteins. But the coaching is critical as well and Jody is a real cheerleader for your success! I couldn't have done it without her and will continue to take advantage of her availability after I reach my goal, which is a mere 6 pounds away. She was always available to answer questions and helped me develop strategies for business travel, vacations, and special occasions. As a result, I stayed on course and couldn't be happier. I am no longer pre-diabetic and have eliminated one blood pressure medication and cut the second one to a minimal dose. My sleep apnea has also been reversed. Is there a cost? Yes, but remember that the products replace some of your grocery costs. And think of the medical costs that can be minimized or eliminated when you reverse obesity! It's the best investment I've ever made in myself! read more

Thank you THWN -- the docs, the staff and everyone who makes this program possible. I began in late 2019, lost 30lbs and though I've fluctuated a bit here and there, by coming back to the core components of the program and continuing to use some of my favorite foods, I've maintained my healthy weight. Over the years, I'd tried all the major programs -- WW, JC, The Hilton Head Diet, etc. This program is truly the healthy way to reach -- and keep -- a healthy weight. I'm ordering more dark chocolate pudding as soon as I finish this review! read more

I am three years into a 30 pound weight loss and highly recommend this weight loss program. The coaches are supportive, the food is tasty and the results speak for themselves if you adhere to the program. Keeping a weekly meal journal has been an integral part of my success. read more

It worked for me I am 62 years old was 60 lbs overweight. My blood pressure was in the 140s/90s range, I was tiptoeing the line to type-2 diabetes and my LDL/cholesterol was out of control. My Cardiologist recommended The Healthy Weigh Now. I stalled for a year, thinking I could get my weight under control by myself. I finally swallowed my pride, admitted I couldn't do it by myself and attended the THWN presentation. I committed on the spot and am so glad I did. I lost 65lbs in 5-1/2 months and feel great. My blood pressure is now in the 110s/70s, my LDL/cholesterol had dropped significantly, and I am no longer pre-diabetic! Now, in Phase-1 (weight loss phase) you have to eat their "product" - their term, not mine - which I jokingly referred to as Soylent Green (if you remember the old SciFi movie) for breakfast and lunch (along with your own greens/vegetables) but dinner is on you. They provide all the guidelines on what to eat, how much and what to avoid. Honestly, I liked their food and there is a decent variety. Rarely did I ever feel hungry. I'm now in Phase-2, maintaining my weight, phased out their food and haven't put on a single pound (in fact, lost a couple more.) I also kicked the sugar addiction. As I look back, I remember how hard I thought this would be (I'd been overweight for the last 5 years.) But honestly it wasn't. The THWN staff was always their helping, guiding and encouraging me. They are absolutely wonderful and I thank them immensely for helping me get my health back. read more

Great program! I lost 27 lbs 2 years ago and I am still keeping the weight off. The office in Reston is very helpful, supportive, and professional. Thank you to Dr. Banihashemi, my cardiologist, for convincing me to join this program. Thank you to Isabel, the front desk receptionist, for quick service, a good sense of humor, and her support. And thank you to Michele, my coach and great nutritionist, for all her professional help, good tips, and support that increased my confidence and self esteem. Great team, good food, and an easy diet for those who want to lose weight and are very serious about it. I love you guys and I will always recommend this program. Thank you, Ela B read more

After having two babies in two years, my body wasn't exactly in peak condition. Facing wearing a bridesmaid dress at my sister's wedding in 6 weeks and having about 10-15 pounds to lose caused me to look into quick (but safe) weight loss solutions. I found The Healthy Weigh Now and have been SO happy with the results. I have lost more that 15 pounds in only 4 WEEKS! With still two weeks to go before the wedding, I am hopeful to lose even a few more pounds. My coach, Nancy, has been so helpful and encouraging to me. I have found the food to have many different options to fit into my lifestyle (busy with two little ones!) and best of all, I haven't lost energy throughout this diet - in fact after the first few days of adjusting, I started feeling like I had even more energy than before. read more

I needed to lose about 25 pounds. I tried dieting and exercising on my own resulting in a 5 lb weight loss. I was hungry, tired and disappointed. I gained back 3... sigh. Found THWN and set my goal...lost 23 lbs in just 2.5 months! I had energy the whole time. The coaches are great - weekly appointments kept me motivated and provided ideas and solutions for food boredom, substitutions and making time to eat midday. With this program it was easy to just get it done. Two months out - no problem maintaining the weight loss so far. The staff at THWN is terrific. They are upbeat, friendly, have good humor and have individual and combined expertise that is impressive... nurses, nutritionists, etc. Highly recommend without reservation. Thank you Dr. Brooks, Isabel, Jeanmarie, Nancy, everyone there... You all rock!! read more

I found out that there was NO credit card fraud, simply human error that has been fixed. So THWN is on the up and up. And since leaving the program, I've tried another one, unsuccessfully. And I've just tried eating less or better, again unsuccessfully. The element that THWN brings is an excellent, personable coach/counselor. That really makes a difference, and I will most likely return to THWN, as it is the best of ways that I've attempted. Very good program, food, counseling. read more

I found 'The Healthy Weigh Now' to be an excellent way to lose weight in a healthy and efficient manner. I lost 20 pounds in less than three months, and, most importantly, have managed to maintain a much healthier weight for more than two years. For many years I was overweight, suffered from elevated blood pressure, and never followed a truly healthy diet. This, coupled with a sedentary lifestyle, resulted in my having a mild heart attack 5 years ago. Following this life changing event I did initially lose weight by severely restricting my food intake. However, I was not necessarily eating the healthiest foods. Within two years of my heart attack I started to regain weight and could not lose it. My cardiologist warned me that if I did not lose weight I would likely suffer another heart attack and suggested 'The Healthy Weigh Now' program. This program changed everything for me. It provides three important things: 1) education about how different food types affect us and what we should and shouldn't be eating (including how to read food labels so that we understand what we are actually eating in the food we buy), 2) a medically designed program that is professionally supervised so you are guided through initial weight loss in a safe and effective manner, and 3) lifetime monitoring (free) through monthly visits so that you can continue your personal accountability - this helps in case you begin to drift back towards weight gain - you can quickly regain your goal weight. As a result of 'The Healthy Weigh Now' I feel better and follow a much healthier eating program than I did just a few years ago. I am grateful to my cardiologist for recommending this program and to the friendly staff at 'The Healthy Weigh Now' who are always available to provide advice and support. read more

I started my weight loss & healthy eating journey about two months ago. I see Jody at the Fairfax location (Hamaker Ct) on a weekly basis. Our meetings are inspirational and motivational for me. I have learned quite a lot about portioning food and with breakfast & lunch entree being two meals I purchase from them, it has cut down our cooking time in half. It's the most practical way of losing weight. I highly recommend it whether you need to bring your A1C down or just look and feel good. I have so far lost 15 pounds and no more acid reflux. read more

A friend of mine joined this program and it was highly recommended for me by her. I had to get some things squared away in my personal life before taking on a weight loss commitment so I looked forward to joining the program all last summer and into the fall. Boy was I disappointed! I went to the seminar. This program is touted as a gluten free program, throughout their website. As someone diagnosed with celiac disease, the only prescription for which is a gluten free diet, I thought this was perfect for me. I was told at the seminar and sign-up meeting that this program is contraindicated for people with celiac disease! Well, this tells me that they are not willing to stand behind their claims that their products are gluten free - fine, then don't advertise them as such! This is false advertising and unethical to say the least! I would not join a program that doesn't have the integrity to stand behind it's own advertising claims and products. I ended up joining Physicians Weight Loss Centers - MUCH better! The program is first of all, ethical, and it is completely physician supervised. You are given a complete blood panel when you began the program and then again when you hit your goal weight. You get a B12 shot once a week and a B6 shot if you elect to do that at a small additional cost and you meet with a physician to review your blood work when you begin the program. I have lost 10 lbs in the first month, I'm rarely hungry and don't have cravings. If you are thinking about this program I recommend Physicians Weight Loss Center instead! read more

This program is a scam. You can purchase their food online for more than 50% less than they charge you for this "medically supervised" program. They threw me out of the program because I purchased the same exact food online instead at a 100%+ markup from them.

As the New Year starts and people are searching for a weight loss program that fits their needs, I wanted to share my experience with The Healthy Weigh Now (THWN). One thing I found was that there were not a lot of reviews out there for off the beaten path programs. I needed to lose quite a bit of weight and I had been hearing one advertised on the radio a lot (not THWN). After the initial body assessment (which I paid $35 for), it became all about the money to that company. In order to lose the amount of weight I needed to lose, I needed to cough up $5K now and got the heavy sell. I said no and came home crying to my husband about it and he told me that his cardiologist had told him that he had a weight loss program (THWN) and suggested we find out more. I did look at the reviews but they didn't tell me a lot (though one gave me a tip which I'll touch upon later). I finally went to a seminar in late Sept 2018. It wasn't the heavy investment that the other one was requiring. I came in on a Back to School special and the enrollment fee also included my first week of food as well as the supplements. I was going on vacation in Oct. so I ended up starting the program on 10/22/18 and I haven't regretted it one bit. Before I get into the nuts and bolts about the program, I have lost 77 pounds total. But it's not about that number but also my fat mass, my BMI, my lean muscle mass and my hydration numbers. This program is about high protein, low fat and low carb and you eat foods that you purchase weekly. I believe they have a three box minimum each week but since I liked variety and didn't know what I might want, I found myself ordering more than three boxes some weeks. Also, you will be taking supplements as part of the program. I was all in. So I'll start with the food. You will eat their protein at breakfast and lunch. When I started, all of the products were gluten free so the selection was a little bit limiting. You had different flavors of shakes to choose from, different drinks (the hot chocolate is one of my faves), some savory options such as the soups, vegetarian chili and a vegetable curry or sloppy joe. They also had cereals, oatmeals, puddings (that can also be made as shakes), some chip options and protein bar options (however, those were limited to once a day because they have a higher carb count. Now they have products with gluten and that has expanded their line if you do not have a gluten issue. This has added more variety of soups (Chicken Noodle), pastas, wafer cookies, additional chip type options, gelatin, drinks and my favorite--pancakes (the chocolate chip -- yum). As part of lunch, you eat a salad (Walden Farms dressings help but they are an acquired taste) and 2 cups of veggies. For dinner, you have your own lean protein and another salad and veggies. Truth be told, I think I pretty much had a salad at lunch and the veggies at dinner. My end of day treat was my protein bar. You also take supplements twice a day -- lunch and dinner. And I never strayed. I didn't because every week, I saw results, not just on the scale but in the other numbers I mentioned. I made it through the holidays, birthdays, vacations and special events. If we were going out to dinner, I would check out the menu prior to going to see what I could have. Alcohol is off limits. I am a wine drinker and I thought that I would miss it but I knew eventually I could have it back in my life in moderation. You will probably be a little edgy or have headaches for the first few days. This is your body going into Ketosis -- fat burning mode. I didn't experience it that bad and I gave up caffeine the same day I started. I actually found that I slept better and woke up feeling rested. I have had more energy since I have followed this plan. So now to the coaching. I will say the one tip I got from a negative review on this was that you make your appointments in advance. I'd usually set up three months worth of appointments at a time. I like first thing on Sat. and I never had an issue getting the time I wanted. I have worked with several coaches: Jeanmarie, Jodi, Adrienne. They always spent time with me giving me tips, talking through my numbers, taking my blood pressure, making sure I wasn't having any issues. Every person I have encountered at the Reston office has been super helpful, caring and friendly. As for exercise...I haven't incorporated it into my life. I walk a fair amount so that covered me. Fast forward to 14 months later, I have completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 (where you slowly incorporate foods back). Phase 2 is 8 weeks and each week you add something back and begin to take away their products. I am now in maintenance and made it through the holidays staying on plan and even having a few glasses of wine. This has been life changing for me and I highly recommend this program for those serious about getting healthy. It's a lifestyle that I am confident I can stick to. Thank you THWN... "I can. I will. End of story." read more

Outstanding Program! My Diabetes 2 was out of control, blood pressure and cholesterol were so high I was on medication. Doctor said I was a prime candidate for a stroke. Started the program and lost 33 pounds in 3.5 months and my doctor took me off all diabetes (insulin shots and metformin) and blood pressure medicine last week. Key point...I now know when and what to eat. My diet coach Nancy is fantastic and I see her weekly for 15 minutes. read more

I love the healthy weigh now. It's an automatic 3 lb loss a week if you don't cheat and follow the program religiously.

The program when followed does help you loose the weight. I only wanted 20 pounds and it was a little difficult at first. Was feeling spaced for a couple of days but that is the sugar and the carbs are going out of you body. Got a good counselor. I brought a lot of food ideas to them. Milk I used was Fairlife low fat and 15 grams of protein. Also had lot of veggies and low carb snacks available. I must say that at times I was a little hungry but that would pass. My scale and theirs never matched theirs. Darn. Keep it up and you will get results. read more

This weight loss program works if you can stick to it. However be prepared to be treated like a number from the moment you walk in the door. Upfront these people want you to pay $300 - $400 (admin fee), and after, you will pay every week approximately double for food that you can get on Amazon for less than 1/2 of what they're charging (FYI: Food will run you $100 a week here, plus vitamins are another $100 every month). When your appointments run out (you make them for the same time, months at a time), they will not tell you in advance because despite how much money you've paid for administrative fees, they do not have a solid system of record-keeping, and choose not to invest in one. When I tried to talk to the Head Lady In Charge (Nancy) to share that I was unhappy with being unceremoniously booted off of a schedule I'd been on for months, and could actually keep, she cut me off, and gave me this whole song and dance about how they have TOO many people to keep track of. I told her other medical places must utilize different software, and that I strongly felt this was a program shortcoming. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she gets even more unpleasant and talks about me in the tiny, tiny room we were in as though I wasn't even there - instructing the coach to make notes that THEY need to take responsibility for me/my appointments because I'm NOT... I told her that that wasn't my point and that I knew now when my next block of appointments ran out (only takes once, thanks), but she just repeated it again, as though I wasn't there -- Are you serious? How rude!. Needless to say, the customer service here leaves a lot to be desired. I'd love to know what all that money I pay for goes into, because it certainly isn't for administrative support of any kind, functional software with basic components like alerts, enough new coaching staff to handle their numbers, or even customer service training (I'm looking at you, negative Nancy). What a racket!!! I am going to look for other programs to take - but with so much time and money already sunk into this one, I'm not sure how it will go. Again, this system works if you can stick to it and are prepared to be treated like a number. I hope you have better luck than I have so far... other coaches like Michelle and Jean are super nice/supportive. However, with such a negative manager, I hope they can persevere. read more

After her own success, I had a friend recommend the program to me. I wasn't disappointed! It was easy to stay on track, lose weight and feel supported by the weekly coaching sessions. I was able to get off of all of the medications I was on due to the weight loss. My energy improved and now I'm exercising daily and feel great. I highly recommend the program! read more

Their weight loss program works. In just about 6 months I've lost upwards of 70 pounds and am now close to my target weight; no longer take any medication for diabetes; and am wearing clothes I hadn't fit into in 20 years (hopefully, tan khakis never go out of style). Because I had worried about going on a super quick weight loss diet, I checked with a couple of health care professionals I have a lot of respect for before signing up. Much to my surprise not only did both of them vouch for the program, but both said they had gone through the program themselves and had kept the weight off since then. Their endorsement was good enough for me. I don't know if this program is easier or harder than others. This is the first diet I've ever really done. But I can say that I've not had too much trouble sticking to the guidelines. The staff gets a lot of credit for that. The third or fourth week into the program, my coach had me add a bit more protein to my lunch because there were indications, she said, that I was losing muscle mass instead of fat mass only. (I have to say that her suggestion was music to my ears. Who wouldn't like to be encouraged to eat more in order to lose fat?) Since then she has made other, similar kinds of tweaks to make this process as efficient and as easy as possible. She also gave me some recipes for the vegetables when I complained of getting bored with the food, suggested new stuff for me to eat (I'd never even heard of nutritional yeast), and emailed me the URL for ordering the world's best salmon from an outfit in Alaska. In other words, it's a great program with a great staff running it. read more

I have been so happy with the Healthy Weigh Now. I've lost 50 pounds in four months. I've been on MANY diets in the past and have never had this kind of success. While I don't love the program food (I am a picky eater), I was able to find enough good choices to make it work for me. I think the staff is wonderful--coaches who really understand the program and understand the physical and emotional issues surrounding weight and weight loss. I am totally off my blood pressure medicine and will be going off my high cholesterol medicine soon. I feel great and am so grateful to the Healthy Weigh Now. read more

I am in my 60's and all the old "faithful" diets were no longer working... Atkins, Mediterranean, even WW was not working for me even though I did NOT cheat and weighed everything. I joined a gym but still did not lose weight. I tried this at the suggestion of my Dr and after only 3 weeks I went clothes shopping and was not depressed after I tried on clothes! YAY! I am very happy with the results. People have commented that I look like I am losing weight. The chips and bars are a huge help... and really I feel full after eating. The first few days were a little hard but I started losing weight, so then I was encouraged and did not feel hungry. The Walden Farms Sugar free items also help. It is definitely worth your while to look into this program.......Good Luck! read more

I have been on this program for 4 months and have lost 50 pounds! The coaches are very caring and encouraging. Was type 2 diabetic..I am now off all my diabetes medications! Thank you so much to the staff! read more

I lost 42 pounds, reached my goal and completed "Level 1" between 9/8/2018 and 12/14/2018. I started at 215.8 and as I write this review, I weigh 173.8 pounds. Yep. That's right. 42 pounds. That's the weight of 3 bowling balls my body no longer has to support and carry around. How did I do it? I didn't. I simply surrendered. I gave up on the idea that, "I know more than they do." If you're willing to admit that, then you can enjoy the same level of success. There is no possible way I could have ever achieved my goal without the professional, attentive and caring staff, who kept me on plan and on target throughout the process. I have now entered the next phase, "Transition," where over the next 8 weeks I am slowly being weened off their protein products and reintroducing various natural food groups into my daily diet - without gaining. The most significant benefit of all? At age 60, I had spent years on medications for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I was resigned to being stuck on them for the rest of my life. But, no more. My doctor has taken me off both! How can I place a $$ value on that? My life is worth far more than a few hundred dollars. So is yours. What do YOU think your life is worth? Really. If you truly desire to lose weight and enjoy a healthier, quality life, then attend one of their seminars and surrender. Or not. read more

Thank you coaches at The Healthy Weigh Now for encouraging me along in my goal of 60 pounds lost!! It took 4 months and I am now on the Maintenance plan. I am diabetic and was able to stop insulin after 3 weeks, and stop blood pressure pills after 2 months. My Doctor is so happy and so is my 75 year old body. read more
