A
Your TreadClimber® machine uses Easy Step™ Shocks to absorb your steps and cushion your joints, decreasing your
overall fatigue and reducing muscle strain. The displacement of the Treadles is adjusted by the dials on the Easy Step™
Shocks. The Minimum Travel setting is the least amount of Treadle movement, the Maximum Travel is the greatest movement. The closer the dial is set to the Maximum Travel setting, the more the Treadle will move. This results in a more
intense workout.
For maximum cushioning, the Treadles should be set so they displace enough to absorb the impact of your stepping
motion, approximately 3 inches. Begin with each Shock set with the arrows aligned. If this setting does not move enough
to fully cushion your steps, adjust the dial setting toward the Maximum (counter-clockwise) setting, allowing more Treadle
movement. If you nd that the Shock setting allows too much Treadle travel, adjust the dial toward the Minimum (clockwise) setting until you are comfortable with the amount of travel. Although the settings dial can move continuously in
either direction, it is recommended not to turn the dials through the red range.
A
Do not change the intensity settings of the Shocks during a workout. Stop the workout and step off the
machine before you adjust the Shocks.
Note: Do not allow the Treadles to hit against the Base on the down step. To reduce Treadle travel, turn the set-
ting dial toward the Minimum setting or increase the belt speed.
It may be helpful to note your dial setting for future reference when there are multiple users of the machine.

Remote Heart Rate Monitor
Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best procedures to control the intensity of your exercise. The Console
reads the telemetry HR signals from the Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz
range.
Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded
POLAR® compatible model. (Coded POLAR® heart rate straps such as POLAR® OwnCode® chest
straps will not work with this equipment.).
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a
wireless chest strap or other telemetric heart rate monitor.
Chest Strap
Using the provided heart rate transmitter chest strap lets you monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. The heart rate displayed is an approximation and
should be used for reference only.
To put on your chest strap:
1. Secure the strap around your chest just below the chest muscles.
2. Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the two Grooved Electrode Areas on the back.
3. Check that the wet electrode areas are rmly against your skin.
The transmitter will send your heart rate to the machine’s receiver and display your estimated Beats Per Minute (BPM).
Always remove the transmitter before you clean the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water, and thoroughly dry it. Re-
sidual sweat and moisture may keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter. Dry and wipe clean the transmitter after each use.
Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol when you clean the chest strap, as they can damage the electrodes
permanently.
If the Console does not display a heart rate value, the transmitter may be at fault. Check that the textured contact areas on the chest strap are
making contact with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the contact areas. Check that the curve of the transmitter is oriented upward. If no signal
appears or you need further assistance, contact Customer Care.
Before discarding a chest strap, remove the battery. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations and/or at approved recycling
centers.
Contact Heart Rate Sensors
Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts of the Handlebars.
To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold rm, but
not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse
signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate.
Many factors inuence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:
34
Assembly / Owner’s Manual
• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight
FAT-BURNING TARGET HEART RATE
hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.
• The proximity of other electronic machines can generate interference.
If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.
The heart rate displayed is an approximation and should be used for reference only.
Heart Rate Calculations
Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart
rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training inuences the decrease in maximum
heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to nd this value by getting a stress test than by
using an age related formula.
Your at rest heart rate is inuenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, where as highly
trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.
The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.
The most efcient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches
between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer
you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.

Fitness Basics
Frequency
To maintain good health, lose weight and improve your cardiovascular endurance, try and use the TreadClimber® tness machine a minimum of 3
times per week, 30 minutes each day.
If you are new to exercise (or returning to a regular exercise program), and you are unable to comfortably complete 30 minutes of continuous exercise at one time, just do 5 – 10 minutes, and gradually increase your workout time until you can reach 30 minutes total.
If your schedule is busy, and you are unable to t 30 minutes of continuous exercise into your day, try accumulating 30 minutes by doing multiple
shorter workouts on the same day. For example, 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening.
For best results, combine your TreadClimber® tness machine workouts with a strength training program using a Bowex® home gym or Bowex®
SelectTech® dumbbells, and follow the Bowex™ Body Weight Loss Guide that is included in this manual.
Consistency
Busy work schedules, family obligations and daily chores can make it difcult to t regular exercise into your life. Try these tips to increase your
chances of success:
Schedule your workouts the same way you schedule meetings or appointments. Select specic days and times each week, and don’t change your
workout times unless it is absolutely necessary.
Make a commitment to a family member, friend or spouse, and encourage each other to stay on track each week. Leave messages with friendly
reminders to be consistent, and keep each other accountable.
Make your workouts more interesting by alternating between steady state (single-speed) workouts and interval training (varied speed) workouts. The
TreadClimber® tness machine is even more fun when you add this kind of variety.
Apparel
It is important to wear appropriate, safe and comfortable footwear and clothing when using the TreadClimber® tness machine, including:
• Rubber-soled athletic walking or running shoes.
• Exercise clothing that allows you to move freely, and keep comfortably cool.
• Athletic support that provides stability and comfort.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. This machine contains moving parts. Do not put fingers, feet, or other objects into moving
parts of the exercise equipment.
Always wear rubber soled athletic shoes when you use this machine. Do not use the machine with bare feet or only wearing socks.
Because of how the Treadles and Walking Belts operate, it is possible for extremely light-weight, exible shoes, or minimalist
shoes, to be caught. Only wear athletic shoes that have more toe protection, structure, and support. Light-weight or minimalist
shoes should not be worn.
Warm-Up *
Before you use your TreadClimber® tness machine, consider doing these dynamic warm-up stretches, which will help prepare your body for the
workout:

apart and feet facing forward. Bend both knees putting
weight on the back heel. Release the stretch by returning
to the start position. Each repetition of the sequence should
take 1 to 3 seconds. Repeat as a continuous, controlled,
uid sequence 10 or 20 times. Repeat the stretch with the
other leg. Touch a wall or hold onto something for balance, if
necessary.
37
Assembly / Owner’s Manual
Dynamic Side Reach
Stand with the feet apart, the knees slightly bent and the
arms at the sides of the body. Reach with one hand above
the head and lean over to the opposite side. Release the
stretch by returning to the start position. Then reach with the
other hand to the opposite side. Use the other arm to support
the body weight on the thigh, if necessary. Each repetition
of the sequence should take 1 to 3 seconds. Repeat as a
continuous, controlled, uid sequence 10 or 20 times.
Workouts
Follow these guidelines to ease yourself into a weekly exercise regimen. Use your judgment and/or the advice of your physician or health care
professional to nd the intensity and level of your workouts.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the
machine’s computer for reference purposes only.
Steady State and Interval Training are 2 types of workouts you can do on your TreadClimber® tness machine:
Steady State workouts
A Steady State workout involves slowly increasing your workout speed to a challenging, but comfortable speed you can hold for most of your workout. For example, holding a 3.0 MPH walking pace for the entire workout, except during the warm-up and cool-down. Steady State workouts help
you build exercise condence, stamina and endurance, and are essential to a well-rounded cardiovascular training program.
Interval Training workouts
An Interval Training workout involves adjusting your speed faster and slower for specic lengths of time to raise and lower your breathing rate, heart
rate and calorie burn. Here is a sample Interval Training workout:
• 7 minutes walking at a slow, easy, comfortable speed.
• 1 minute walking at a more challenging speed that is approximately 50% faster.
• 7 minutes walking at a slow, easy, comfortable speed.
• 1 minute walking at a more challenging speed that is approximately 2x faster.
• 7 minutes walking at a slow, easy, comfortable speed.
• 1 minute walking at a more challenging speed that is approximately 50% faster.
• 6 minutes walking at a slow, easy, comfortable speed.
Interval Training workouts provide variety, maximize calorie burn and improve tness.
The TreadClimber® tness machine is designed to cushion your joints and muscles, and both Steady State and Interval Training workouts should
feel more comfortable than walking or running outside on a hard surface or a treadmill.

Assembly / Owner’s Manual
Afterburn Rate
At the end of an intense Interval Training workout, your body will actually need to expend additional energy to replenish your body’s reserves. This
additional amount of energy that your body will be using is the Afterburn Rate, or EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption). The level of
this additional energy requirement for your body is directly related to many factors. Some factors are your physical tness level, intensity level of the
interval training workout, length of oxygen deprivation during the workout, and physical demands during the recovery phase.
In summary, your body will be burning more calories for hours after your workout. So after an intense Interval workout, you may feel the effects for
hours afterwards.
Workout Schedule
Here is a beginner, intermediate and advanced sample workout schedule. Use the workout schedule that reects your current tness level. With
each of these sample workout schedules, do not move on to the next week until the current week feels easier and comfortable.

Workout Programs
The TreadClimber® cardio machine is equipped with a variety of workouts to keep you engaged. Each workout has an adjustable Goal (except for the
Just Walk program). After selecting a workout, push the Increase() or Decrease () buttons to adjust the Goal before starting the workout. When
the workout begins, the total number of segments for the Goal will be displayed on the Workout Segment Display. As the segments are completed,
they deactivate showing only what remains to complete the workout.
Only the Just Walk program is open-ended (no Goal), so the Workout Segment Display is blank and activates segments as calories are burned.
Just Walk
(No default Goal since it is an open-ended workout)
As the name implies, push the Start button and just walk.
During a Just Walk workout, the Workout Segment Display will activate a segment for every calorie burned.
Note: When a workout exceeds 500 calories, the Console will activate a “+ 500” icon and deactivate the segments of the Workout Segment
Display.
Calorie Goal
(Default Goal : 300 calories)
At the start of a Calorie Goal workout, the Workout Segment Display shows the total number of segments to achieve the Goal. Each segment represents one calorie. As each calorie is burned during a workout, a segment is deactivated.
Before a workout, push the Increase () or Decrease () buttons to adjust the Goal by 50 calorie increments.
Note: When a workout Goal exceeds 500 calories, the Console will activate a “+ 500” icon.

Time Goal
(Default Goal : 30 minutes)
At the start of a Time Goal workout, each segment of the Workout Segment Display represents 8 seconds. A segment is deactivated every 8 seconds
during a workout.
Note: The first segment deactivated during a workout may not represent 8 seconds because of the Goal value.
Push the Increase () or Decrease () buttons to adjust the Goal by 5 minute increments.
Distance Goal
(Default Goal : 3 miles)
At the start of a Distance Goal workout, each segment of the Workout Segment Display represents 0.01 mile/kilometer. Push the Increase () or
Decrease () buttons to adjust the Goal by 0.5 mile/kilometer increments.
Interval
(Default Goal : 8 intervals, each interval has 30 seconds of SPEED and 90 seconds of SLOW)
For an Interval Workout, each segment of the Workout Segment Display represents 8 seconds.
Note: The first segment to be deactivated may be less than 8 seconds.
During an Interval Workout, the User will be encouraged to adjust the Walking Belt speed between
an increased burst of speed ( “SPEED UP” ) to a slower paced, ‘catch your breath’ time period
( “SLOW DOWN” ). This shift will be repeated for the total number of intervals. The Console will
count down the time remaining of the active part of the Interval. The Console will also show the current Interval and how many Intervals need to be
completed ( “01/08” is the rst Interval of a total of eight Intervals).
The ”SPEED UP” period of an Interval Workout is a suggested workout level increase, and should only be followed if your physical
tness level allows.
Note: When the User adjusts the Walking Belt speed, the Current Interval Mode display will shift from “SPEED UP” to “SPEED”, or ““SLOW
DOWN” to “SLOW”.
Before a workout, push the Increase () or Decrease () buttons to change the total number of Intervals. Each Interval is 2 minutes long with 30

3. To restart your workout, push the START button. To end your workout, push STOP/PAUSE again. The Console will display your workout results.
Fitness Score Display
The Fitness Score is based on an estimate of the User’s VO2 Max and calorie burn over their last ve workouts. VO2 Max estimates are calculated
using performance data (time, distance and average heart rate or an estimate of average heart rate if that data is unavailable). VO2 Max is the
maximal oxygen consumption of the aerobic physical tness of the individual, and is a determinant of the endurance capacity of the User during
prolonged exercise. ( V = Volume, O2 = Oxygen, and Max = maximum rate ).
Note: If a paused workout is not restarted in 5 minutes, the machine will end the workout and display the workout results.
To prevent unsupervised operation of the machine always remove the Safety Key and disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet and machine AC input. Place the power cord in a secure location.

Potential for Improvement
For every workout completed that is longer than 10 minutes or a mile (1.6 km) in distance, the Console will apply those workout values toward your
Fitness Score. This value is displayed on the Fitness Score Display area of the Console.
Note: Using a Heart Rate Chest Strap provides the most accurate information to calculate the Fitness Score. A Fitness Score is provided
when a minimum of 10 minutes or 1 mile (1.6 km) of distance is done during a workout. If no heart rate is supplied, an approximation
based on the User Profile will be used to calculate the score.
The Fitness Score may change only slightly for a User that performs the same length of workout at a similar intensity level. However, if that same
User were to increase intensity over the same length of a workout, their score would increase. Since the score is based on VO2 Max (estimated),
even a small score increase shows a signi cant shift in the User’s tness level.
Note: A User’s score may drop slightly if fatigue is present. With the proper combination of exercise and rest, a User’s Fitness Score will rise
in a similar way to their VO2 Max. This will also be reflected in their ability to perform longer or faster workouts. Fitness Scores should
only be compared to your previous scores and not to other User Profiles.

Treadmill Lubrication Kit (available from www.bowflex.com or your local specialty fitness dealer)
For the best results lubricate the Treadles periodically with a silicone lubricant, using the following instructions:
52
Assembly / Owner’s Manual
1. Unplug the machine fully from the wall outlet, and remove the power cord from the machine. Place the power cord in a secure location.
2. Carefully lift each belt and apply silicone lubricant in the center of the Treadle deck along the entire reachable length of the deck. Apply 0.5 to 1.5
oz. of the lubricant on the deck underneath each belt.
NOTICE: Always use a 100% pure silicone lubricant. Do not use a degreaser like WD-40® spray lubricant or a petroleum based product as
this could seriously impact performance.
Note: The Walking Belts may need to be loosened to allow for access during lubrication. Consult the “Adjusting the Walking Belts” procedure
if necessary.
3. Connect the power cord back into the machine and then into the wall outlet.
4. Stay to one side of your machine.
5. Switch on your machine and start the belts at the slowest speed. Let the belts operate for approximately 15 seconds.
6. Switch off your machine.
7. Take care to clean up any excess lubricant from the Treadles. We also recommend a periodic inspection of the Treadle surfaces below the belts.
If the decks appear worn, contact a Customer Service Representative.
To decrease the possibility of slipping, be sure the Treadle area is free from grease or oil. Clean off any excess oil from the machine
surfaces.
53
Assembly / Owner’s Manual
Walking Belt Alignment
The walking belts need to be adjusted if they are out of center enough to cause a rubbing or scraping sound. Adjustments can be made at the Front
Roller of each Treadle.
Adjusting the Walking Belts – While operating the machine, notice where the belts run on each Treadle. The Walking Belt Adjustment Bolts are on
the front end of each Roller. If the belt is tracking too far to the right, use a properly sized Hex Key to turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise on that
belt in full turn increments. If the belt tracks too far to the left, do the same thing on the left adjustment bolt.
Note: Do not turn the bolts counterclockwise when you adjust the belt alignment.
Belt Tension Check – Check the belt tension only when the machine is unplugged. From the belt’s midpoint, a correctly tensioned belt should only
have an inch of give. To check, pull the belt upward at its midpoint and measure the distance to the deck. If the distance is more than an inch, the
belt is loose. To tighten, turn both Walking Belt Adjustment Bolts clockwise one-half a turn and check tension again. Repeat this step if necessary.
Note: Bolts are turned counterclockwise equally to decrease belt tension.

Bowflex™ Body Weight Loss Guide
Introduction and Overview
Welcome to the Bowex™ Body Weight Loss Guide. This guide is designed to be used with your Bowex® equipment and will help you:
• Lose weight and get lean
• Improve your health and wellness
• Increase your energy and vitality
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program or a new health and diet plan. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness
in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used for reference only.
By focusing on the main three elements of the Bowex™ Body Weight Loss Guide- quality, balance, and consistency- you’ll be able to reach and
maintain your weight loss and tness goals for the next six weeks and beyond.
• Quality – The emphasis of this plan is on eating more whole foods and getting the most nutrients from your calories as possible. Making the
majority of your diet from foods that have a single ingredient (for example fruits, vegetables, sh, lean protein, eggs, beans, nuts, and whole
grains) provides the vitamins, minerals, ber, protein, and healthy fats your body needs.
• Balance – Each of the meals and snacks in this guide have a source of ber or smart carbohydrate, protein, and healthy fat to keep your
energy levels consistent throughout the day to fuel your workouts. By having this balance you’ll feel fuller longer, which is critical to weight loss
success.
• Consistency – Getting about the same number of calories each day is important for your metabolism and your mindset. If you overdo it one
day, don’t try to make up for it the next day by not eating or cutting your calories drastically. Get right back on track by following this guide!
Results & Expectations
Results will vary depending on your age, starting weight, and exercise level. By adhering to a diet and exercise routine, you may lose 1-3 lbs per
week and experience increased energy levels.
5 Tips for Long-Term Success
1. Keep a food log including hunger levels and water intake. Free online food logs and mobile apps are available at www.mytnesspal.com and
www.loseit.com
2. Weigh and/or take measurements weekly – no more and no less. Weighing weekly rather than daily or every other day is best. You’ll track
your progress and keep yourself in check without getting discouraged if the scale doesn’t move for a few days. And remember, weight is just
a number and it’s inuenced by muscle gain as well as fat loss. Feeling how your clothes t can often be a better indicator of progress as your
body adapts to exercise and nutrition changes.
3. Measure portions – To avoid portion creep, use measuring cups and spoons for grains (rice, pasta, cereal), beans, nuts, oils, and dairy. Use
the Portion Sizes Guide for other foods.
4. Plan ahead – Make a meal plan for the week or log your food a day in advance. Planning sets you up for success, especially for social events
and eating out.
5. Practice your desired long-term habits – It’s easy to justify poor eating choices when you’re only focused on the short term. Focus on the
long term satisfaction of a slimmer, healthier you rather than the temporary gratication you’ll get from splurging.
How to Use this Guide
• Eat breakfast within 90 minutes of waking up and balance your meals and snacks throughout the day
– Don’t go longer than 5-6 hours without eating
– If you’re not used to eating breakfast, start out small with a piece of fruit and have something else 1-2 hours later. Your body adapts to
not eating breakfast, but as soon as you start eating early in the day and cutting back on dinner portions you’ll notice your hunger will
increase. This is a good sign your metabolism is working!
• Mix and match meal options
– Select 1 option from the appropriate meal plan (male or female) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, paying close attention to portion sizes
– Select 1-2 snack options per day
– You have the option to substitute one snack for one treat under 150 calories
– Use the meal plan, sample options, and grocery list to create your own meals for more variety
60
Assembly / Owner’s Manual
– You can swap out any type of protein, vegetables or smart carbs for the suggested meal options. For example:
• Turkey for tuna
• Any sh or seafood for chicken
• Cooked vegetables instead of salad
• Eat your calories
– Cut out high calorie beverages like soda, juices, coffee drinks, and alcohol
– Stick with water, unsweetened tea, and coffee. Aim for a minimum of 64oz (1.9 liters) of water per day to stay well hydrated
• If you’re still hungry after or in between meals:
– Have a glass of water and wait 15-20 minutes. Many times we mistake thirst (or even boredom!) for hunger. Wait out the initial urge to eat
and sometimes it will pass.
– If you’re still hungry after waiting 15-20 minutes have a snack or mini-meal with fruit, vegetables, and protein.
If your goal is muscle gain or strength:
• Use the same meal plan but increase portion sizes in the same ratios to increase the total number of calories you eat every day. For example,
increase portion sizes of protein and smart carbs at meals by 50%. Adding a snack is another option to meet your body’s increased calorie
needs in order to gain muscle and strength.
• Focus on post-workout nutrition by having one of your snacks within 30 minutes after you complete your workout. Make sure to have a com-
bination of carbohydrates such as fruit with protein (yogurt, milk, or protein powder) to promote muscle growth and recovery. Chocolate milk is
also a great option.
Meal Plan Overview
The female meal plan provides about 1400 calories, and the male plan provides about 1600 calories, of high quality nutrition to not only help you
lose weight and feel great but get the most out of your calories. The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from eating mostly whole foods help support optimal health. These calorie levels will result in healthy weight loss for the majority of people. Keep in mind that everyone’s metabolism is very
different depending on age, height, weight, activity level, and genetics. Pay close attention to your weight, hunger levels, and energy and adjust your
calories if needed.
Follow these guidelines if you’re over 55:
• If you’re over 55, you need fewer calories because your metabolism slows as you age. Stick with three meals with one optional snack per day.
Follow these guidelines if you’re under 25:
• If you’re under 25 you may need more calories. Add another snack if you feel low on energy or are extremely hungry.
Breakfast
Breakfast includes a smart carb, fruit, and a source of protein, which will also have fat. With a balance of carbohydrates and ber from the smart carb
and fruit combined with protein and fat, you’ll energize your day and help control hunger levels throughout the day.
Snacks
Each snack is a balance of carbohydrates and protein to keep your blood sugar more consistent, which means you won’t experience hunger and
energy level spikes and drops.
This happens when you have a high carb-only snack like chips, candy, soda, crackers, or pretzels.
Lunch and Dinner
Lunch combines lling ber from vegetables and smart carbs with a lean, or low-fat, protein. The healthy fat can come either from the protein added
during cooking (nuts on a salad) or as a dressing or sauce (such as oil and vinegar salad dressing).

measure oil and butter. Even if a fat is considered healthy, it’s still very
high in calories and portions need to be controlled.

based sauces and dressings like ranch, bleu cheese, and alfredo.
All fruits and vegetables, fresh and frozen, are great choices. Since every meal has one or both, your shopping cart should reect this.

Keep It Going
Tips for continued weight loss and maintaining changes
• Keep weighing yourself weekly, even after you’ve reached your goal weight
• Continue keeping a food log. If you have your meal plan well-established, log your food every other week to keep yourself on track. Don’t
feel like you have to do it every day.
• Prepare for plateaus. The scale might not budge for a few weeks or even months after some initial weight loss. This is normal and to be expected. It’s the body’s natural process for adjusting to your new lower weight. Stay focused on your long-term goal, celebrate your successes
and changes, and mix up your workouts to help overcome the plateau.
• Calorie adjustments for maintaining weight loss. Once you’ve reached your goal weight, you can increase your calories 100-200 per day
as long as your activity level stays the same
• Treat yourself. Have a non-food reward for each goal you hit such as a massage, a new outt, or an outing with friends and family
• Use the resources below to nd new recipes, get expert advice, and support to stay motivated
