LOL - Well, I'm with you on that opinion. It's been over 12 years ago when I started losing weight with the Foodmover and the videos. And I recall feeling exactly the same way you are feeling. So I ignored the whole Blast Off program and instead went right with the card that was appropriate for my weight at the time.
And it worked well for me.
The Foodmover and the exchange program does work. The exercise videos are fun to exercise with. I also dumped the supplements that came with my order back then, I don't know if Richard is still selling the stuff.
So go for it. Best of luck to you on losing the weight you want to lose. I did it, and you can, too. Have fun with it all.
