I lost over 50 lbs in just over 5 months going from 248 to 194. I could not have done it without the support of Kurt and others at EMP 180. The program is fairly regimented but the results were outstanding. I had tried numerous times to return to a healthy weight only to lose some, stall out, and regain it. I've been at a healthy weight for nearly a month now and holding steady. I did incorporate some healthier lifestyle changes (ie - bike riding and walking) during the 5 months but nothing over-the-top crazy. Also, my visceral fat levels normalized as well as my overall body-fat percentages. The great part is that I am still working with Kurt to re-introduce a broad selection of whole foods back into my daily routine. There were certainly times when I thought about walking away from the program but with encouragement from the team, i met my goals. Thanks to everyone at Tysons - you've helped put me on a healthy course for the future. - Jeff read less

As with any effort like this, its not automatic. You have to work at it with strong discipline. EMP provides a way that absolutely works if you hold the line.

Once I turned 40, everything turned off in my body like a light switch. I never had weight issues growing up, but all of sudden, I had a problem. My activity level had decreased over the years, due to 4 knee surgeries etc. I will admit, going in, I was skeptical and didn’t think it would work. After my first week, I dropped 4 pounds. Wow!! I was so motivated to continue the program to learn more about the right things to be eating, as well as the time of day to be eating the right foods. I am about 4 1/2 weeks in and I have lost over 7lbs. I never thought I would get back to this weight again. If you are thinking about a weight loss program and are hesitant, please consider this program. Working with Colleen and the EMP staff has been great!! They are very attentive and will answer any questions you may have. I am so happy I found this program, and I will continue to apply what I have learned even once the program has been completed. read less

I have been following their program for a little more than 3-1/2 months and have lost 35 pounds. I fully expect to reach my target weight within one month. Most importantly, they have taught me when and what to eat to maintain my weight. I have been impressed and pleased with every person with whom I've worked in their company. They are all so friendly, caring and knowledgeable. I am 61 years old and have done the diet thing four other times through the years. Yes, I was able to lose my target weight each time. However, I also put the weight back on each time because none of the other programs were sustainable. I just returned to following my bad eating habits. I know that will not be the case with the EMP 180 Weight Loss program. Again, I have been taught when and what to eat to maintain my weight. Highly recommended! Give them a try. You won't be disappointed! read less

I spent my entire adult life in the diet cycle with no real movement in any direction. I finally decided after my first baby that it was time to seek professional help and time to invest in me, my health and my goals. I was almost scared away by sticker shock after my initial consultation at EMP180 Rockville but in hindsight, I would have paid more with the results I got. It took me roughly 5 months to lose 10% body fat (roughly 29lbs) and I have kept it off for two months now (during quarantine which I find impressive!). The program is easy in that you don’t have to think, just follow and you are GUARANTEED to lose the weight. The support and accountability provided by the coaches is the most valuable part of the program. Do this for yourself, it’s the last thing you'll ever invest in because if you graduate, you get that support for the rest of your life! Can’t recommend EMP180 any more! read less

My EMP180 coach did an excellent job keeping me motivated. He really understood the mechanics and dynamics of the program which kept me focused. The entire Woodbridge staff was ready with answers to all my questions and even helped adjusting my plan when I had to travel, go out to eat dinner, and switch to the remote program unexpectedly. I graduated from the program 3 weeks ago and feel great! Thanks! read less

To be honest, I never really expected the program to work, partly because it is difficult for me to stay on course, and partly because, like so many others, I often discount claims made by "diet plan" advocates as exaggerated. But, one week from completing the EMP-180 program, I am happy (and surprised!) to have lost weight - over 30 pounds of it. . . and can actually see my FEET again! -- Michael Adler, April 30, 2020 read less

I lost 50 lbs within the expected time-frame, and at my height 50 lbs is a Lot. After years on an old broken toe, diabetes and stomach issues, my RN and a gastro-doctor prescribed me a multitude of pills and I was starting down a bad path. I could not self-discipline my eating habit, and I wasn't caring. After hearing about EMP 180 on my favorite radio station, and upon consulting with my wife on the cost we decided to go for it. The benefits outweigh the cost. I started the weekend before Thanksgiving, and have been very disciplined - you paid for it. Now, there is no toe pain, No diabetes, no gluttony, and no meds. I can walk my dog up an incline, and I am moving easier without fatigue. I have 30 lb weights I used to work out with, and they are uncomfortably heavy. I cannot believe I carried 50 lbs - explains a lot of the issues I had. I highly recommend EMP 180. read less

Had my annual physical afterwards and all of the "numbers" improved as well.The best news is that in the two months since I "graduated" from the program, I've kept it off with the lessons and habits I learned. And that is with being at HOME for the past five weeks due to the pandemic...and with the refrigerator and pantry calling my name all day every day! I'm not "listening" to them. :)It really worked for me...and CONTINUES to work as I'm applying the lessons learned.Thanks to Kurt and the entire EMP180 team in Tysons! read less

The personnel are supportive, both when on the plan and during maintenance; the documentation is organized and supportable; and the results [for me] have been outstanding!

Just wanted to lose less than 10 lbs, under the one-month plan, and did that and much more. Even into the maintenance portion have continued to lose weight. Total weight lost has been approximately 15 lbs.

The plan's available food choices were varied, and quite good. I am glad I found EMP 180! Of course it helped to continue to hear about them on WMAL. read less

The, during the holidays, I sort of fell off the wagon and gained back 9 pounds. Two weeks ago, I started back on EMP 180 and, shazam!, I'v already lost 4.5 pounds. EMP 180 just WORKS! The key is to listen to the wellness counselors about how to eat properly after leaving the program and resist temptation. Bread and pasta are my weaknesses, but … I'm gonna stick with it, bc there's nothing worse than doing all that work and seeing the pounds climb back onto my hips and gut!EMP 180 rocks! read less

At 77 years of age I have struggled with my weight for more than 30 years! I have participated in other weight-loss programs, all with limited success. They all helped me lose the desired weight, but they did not help me change my lifestyle to help keep the weight off. Obviously, this did not help me with my doctor's concerns. That all changed with my EMP180 experience....they not only helped me achieve the desired weight loss, they also helped me learn how to make the necessary lifestyle changes. Their coaches assisted with educating me on getting to know how my internal body reacts to various eating habits I exhibited. Moreover, they helped me take several "timeouts" from the weight loss regimen for big/important life experiences (i.e., river cruises and major trips abroad and still achieve the desired success after returning to the program. The professionalism of the people was outstanding.....I give them 5-stars gladly and highly recommend their potential application to others! read less

Since 5-6 years ago, it started to become so hard to lose my holiday weights and it got worst, not only I am over weight by about 20pounds it started affecting my health. My doctor suggested that I should start seeing nutritionist. I worked with a nutritionist about 2 months seeing her once a week. Every time I went there to stand on the scale my weight became heavier and heavier. I just could not follow her diet instructions. So, I started looking around weight loss programs. I called Jenny Craig at Fairfax City first, the phone rang very long and a man answered the phone and I asked the man why should I choose your program over other weight loss programs like EMP 180, he very rudely said "I don't know, it's up to you. We are very different programs".So, I called EMP180 Tysons Corner. The phone was answered promptly and politely. I made an appointment. The location is very convenient, don't have to worry about parking etc.. for people like me who is always running late and worried about finding parking places when I am in new place. I really liked it. The Person on the front desk was very professional and polite. And the second time when I arrive there everybody called me by my name, even people who did not work with me directly. That made me very cared for.For me it is the best investment I ever made for myself since I did my maser's degree. I would not lie that it's easy. Specially the first week was very hard and I cried. Because I never left carbs so long time like this and I could not imagine my life without it.Slowly, from the 2nd week I started getting used to the food and I became very motivated to see my weight was dropping.I haven't exercised for over year until that but from the 2nd week my body felt so light and I wanted to exercise. I was surprised that I was managing to exercise at least 3 times a week. I am down to the weight I was not able to reach last 5-6 years and it feels so unbelievably good to see how your current clothes are becoming too big for you. Last several years I was buying clothes only bigger and bigger. Now, I could not believe in the weight I am in and I am afraid to buy new clothes so I am just sewing my big clothes to wear until I am sure I will keep my weight at least for 6 more months which will be around June. I am very excited and looking forward to summer first time in many years.I would recommend EMP180 for any body proudly.Special thanks to Allison, Sadie and Kurt who helped me go through this program successfully.Sincerely,Miga read less

Some people just love to complain. I'm on the EMP180 system and have been for 3 mos. I'm at a 46 lb weight loss so far and only a couple more pounds to go. The system teaches you more than just buying shakes and starving yourself. I had a junk food addiction and was eating out many times a day. The cost of the system is less than what I was spending eating out. My energy is way up again and I've been held accountable by the staff at EMP180. Some of us need a coach to change our lifestyle. I have sparked the interest of many coworkers and friends and I've encouraged a few to join, they are having success as well. To me it's a personal investment and I have zero regrets. My blood pressure has gone way and being able to tie me shoes without holding my breath is a relief. Im not a fan of leaving reviews unless they are well deserved and in my opinion EMP180 is well deserving of positive reviews. read less

I graduated the program in about 7 weeks. It was an amazing experience. I know my body now. I know what works and what doesn’t work for me.I decided that I still wanted to loose more body fat, weight and maintain muscle mass. EMP gave me a plan to execute on my own. I have lost another ten pounds since I graduated the program and I’m in the best shape of my life. I can run a faster 2 mile now then I could ever run while I was serving. The program works I recommend it to everyone!! read less

I lost 17 pounds of fat (18 pounds total) in those 7 weeks. More importantly, with the help of their program and counselors I have been changing my relationship with food, which has been a lifelong battle for me. The staff is extremely professional and friendly. The atmosphere is very inviting and relaxing. The InBody scale they have is also extremely motivating, especially for a data-hound like me.Yesterday I had a 4 week post-"graduation" visit and lost another 6 pounds (of fat) on my own. I'm continuing to eat healthy and lose weight on my own and will have another check-in after another 8 weeks.As others have said, it's not inexpensive, but the investment in my health has been worth it given the results I've experienced. I had tried every diet under the sun over the past 20 years, lost and gained, but this is the first time I feel differently about food after 3 months in. I'll include a follow-up post in a few more months as to how it's continuing to go.One thing I recommend is some type of mindfulness activity in conjunction with the diet program. I've been using the app, "Eat Right Now" which is a great complement to EMP 180's program. This has helped me to better know when I'm craving food out of hunger or other reasons such as boredom or stress, which are the ultimate causes of my challenges with food over the years. Whatever path you choose I wish you success. read less

Have a desirable goal of 50 lbs Weight loss...now only 13-14 lbs to reach my goal. Recently I hit some REALLY tough rough stressful times. At this time, I had to be honest with myself about my stress and how to manage my lifes sudden changes, my eating habits, and deal with them during this lifestyle change process. It was Tselote, my counselor who settled me down. She coached me through my trying time via phone and, US Maill, and even email, she said, "do your very best". These were her words of counsel, and I pressed, and stayed connected. Tselote's encouragement resonated.
On today's visit, I felt like I reached the next level.....a weigh in/near the 150 something's lbs.........
I arrive at the Alexandria location, feeling peaceful. and I forgot to schedule my appointment!!!! However, I was kindly received, told I might have to change counseling time and weigh in a little later with Tselote. Another kind counselor filled my next week food order, scheduled me for next week with as much care and consideration as MY Tselote. After all, I was able sit with MY counselor, Tselote discuss my noted progress, and she moved me through the my Saturday session... without a problem. I am so pleased with my Alexandria Team. ALL OF THEM.
They all embraced my need today
Thank you, a great big thank you for supporting my life style/health changes.
Highly recommend this team!! read less

I was initially disappointed that the first phase of the program was powdered rather than whole foods, but soon realized this made the process very easy. I worked primarily with Vanessa who struck the perfect balance of support and accountability. The entire staff seemed invested in my success and that was very gratifying. I learned a great deal about nutrition and am much more confident that the changes I have made will be long standing.
