I have had weight issues... well as long as I can remember. My well-intended and loving parents allowed me to start Jenny Craig in college. I look back now and realize that if I had only just loved myself and worked out a bit, I had a nice shape and was beautiful. But that kicked off a series of diets gone bad... fen/fen, HCG shots (that I gave myself in the stomach), The Carb addict diet, Atkins, Weight Watchers and everything in between. So many nights... believing that tomorrow I would do better, I would TRY harder and I would overcome this dark shadow on my life.
Over the past few years I have been playing with diet pills. You know, the kind that make you want to get up and clean your whole house (before you crash, that is)! Basically they are caffine pills that rev you up so you aren't hungry. That has lead to yo-yo dieting and really messing up my 45 year old metabolism.
About a year ago, a friend told me about a program she was having a lot of success with, Take Shape for Life. I quickly wrote it off... I have done something like that before. Fast forward to now, she lost 70 lbs and has kept it off for over 8 months. In despairation, I went back to her, now heavier than I have ever been, and she told me about it again.
I decided to try it. What did I have to lose?? The three legged approach made sense to me.
1. A personal health coach that has experienced this journey already and has found success. Also an amazingly supportive Facebook community that shares wins, tips, struggles and stories of success.
2. An educational plan that is like a college-level course with a workbook that really helps me to dig in to the Habits of Health so that I can make life-long changes from the inside out.
3. A medically formulated, low-calorie portion-controlled meal replacement plan that easy to use, keeps me in a FAT BURINING mode, and allows me great success. I also prepare one Lean and Green meal daily, which is great because I enjoy it and I am learning how to cook healthy for my family.
Any you know what? I have been successful. I feel GREAT! I have wonderful energy, have lost 20 lbs in 5 weeks and am feeling such control of my life, my choices and my health. I can't say enough about this plan. I feel like I have finally found the missing keys to my health and success in weight control.

Wishing you the best in saying goodbye to the weight that is holding you back and hello to freedom, health and the real you!
