Hi amb

It actually worked very well for me - I lost a total of 13 pounds, which was a little more than my goal of 10 lbs. but I still drink the Cinch at least several times a week, primarily because it’s a delicious way for me to make sure I’m getting enough protein since I am a vegetarian.

What exercise plan you start on really depends on several factors - your current state of health and stamina, any medical conditions you might have, and your overall weight loss/health goals. So before you start anything you should always talk to your doctor to get her opinion. You will also want to know what your target heart rate should be (based on your age and overall health) and a way to monitor it. That being said, for most people it's best to start slowly, for example with walking, and build up only as your body and stamina tell you is okay. You can add simple things, like swinging your arms to get your heart pumping, or half-pound (no heavier) hand or ankle weights for additional toning. Whatever activity you choose, it's important to set realistic, but achievable goals (that can be measured) and then increase your goals each time you hit one. For example, you might start out by walking around your block, then set a goal for 5 laps, 10 laps, or whatever is reasonable for you. Or increase your pace a bit so that you complete your laps a little faster each week. You don't need an expensive gym membership or fancy equipment - just focus on moving and burning energy. As long as you can consistently burn more calories than you consume you will lose weight. Good luck! Hi Arlene

I am a mommy of three small kids and I've gained 40 pounds in the last 7 years. I've been thinking of doing Cinch. I am glad you did the comparison with Slimfast products. I too couldn't stand the taste. I do best on high protein low carbs. I'll start it soon and let you know how things go. Hi, Thanks for posting your comments on the Cinch diet. I am a
