Your guidance has helped me to learn a lot about my body and to gain some new perspective. I hope you realize the positive influence you have had on me, as well as many around you. You are an amazing role model for women of all ages, including me. ~ Jeanette

I have to thank you for all you have taught and introduced to me and for not lecturing me! I have learned a great deal and I feel more confident. I have passed on some of what I have learned to my family and friends- sort of like paying it forward! I feel like I have come a long way but still have a ways to go. Now I have the tools to do that and I realize that I have to go at my own pace. Thank you for giving me these tools and helping boost my confidence and will power! ~ Karen

7 months after our first meeting and I am finally enjoying a summer without being obsessed with my weight. I have been active biking, walking on my treadmill or around the lake with a friend, swimming and gardening. I have been enjoying preparing more healthy meals for my family especially with all the vegetables available. I haven't been on a scale in awhile but my clothes fit well and I feel great! I actually like keeping busy! I haven't napped in ages! ~ Terry

I thought the journey was going to be more difficult than it was. Not that it was easy, but it made such sense to follow simple rules that you put out there and I truly felt like my body began to "wake up" once I did. I began to realize that there is no end to this process. Not like a diet that I have started and stopped in the past- it became a new way of looking at food and my body. I learned that it's ok to fall off the proverbial wagon because life happens. I had a much easier time getting back on that wagon if I didn't beat myself up for having more than one cookie. I am still learning that the number on the scale doesn't define me. ~ Debbie

After meeting with you. I knew right then and there that I was ready to do whatever it took to take control of my body again. Being overweight was going to be a thing of the past. I wanted to LIVE again. I wanted to LIVE A LONG TIME. It was a slow process, making tiny changes in the beginning, but even after the first month, I realized I was feeling better! Not eating sugar, and processed foods, I saw that my 6 month pregnant belly was getting smaller! I saw my ankles that would be so swollen by the end of the day, were no longer swollen. I realized I was not dragging my feet and being out of breath when I walked up the long sidewalk to Suffern High School. I was not only losing weight, I was losing toxins!! ~ Deb
