“I just had to call you—I’m so excited! I just got my numbers back from the doctor—since starting the program this past spring:

  • my total cholesterol’s gone down from 253 to 201

  • my HDL (“good cholesterol”) has gone up from 62 to 80

  • triglycerides have gone down from 119 to 94

  • my LDL (“bad cholesterol”) has gone way down from 150 to 94!

Oh yeah, and my official weight loss to date is 27 pounds! I’m really just so tickled! I know I was feeling better and had more energy, but to get this kind of documentation—it just sums it all up! It’s so empowering and confirming of everything I’ve been doing.  Thank you!”

“I used to feel like food controlled me. It controlled my life. It was like I as I was gorging myself I’d be thinking about my next meal. And when I dieted in the past I wasn’t eating right. I was literally starving my body.

This time around it was like flipping a switch. Now I feel like I’m in control. I don’t have the desire for all that stuff I used to eat. I didn’t realize what a brain fog I was in. I wasn’t clear headed a lot of the time. Now I’m remembering so much more and I’m more focused.

When I go to bed at night now I’m tired and I fall asleep right away.  I’m waking up at 6am without my alarm — ready to get up and start my day.  And to top it off, my joint pain is gone. Thank you, Mandy, you have changed my life!

“The biggest thing? My inflammation–my joint pain–It’s gone.  I’ve been able to integrate exercise with no pain.

And my cholesterol’s gone way down. That was really unexpected. I was looking at the prospect of taking medication.  But when you watch those commercials on tv and hear all the crazy potential side effects–it’s like who really wants to take that stuff? Doesn’t it make more sense just to change what you eat?

Overall this has been so positive in so many ways.  Learning the science behind it all was so important for me.  And the support was really helpful, too. And it’s so true about the physical, mental and emotional tying together.  When I started the program I was at my heaviest. I didn’t feel good.  Now I literally have to buy new clothes. My clothes are falling down, my belt’s on its tightest hole. And for 4 months, the only exercise I did was walk.

And it hasn’t been hard either.  And the foods I got off of I don’t miss. People ask me what I’ve done and I tell them about the program.  This has created such a huge, huge change.  Even though it’s not really a big deal.  It’s now just how I eat.  It’s the path I’m on.”

“I'm doing more than I ever have and, for the first time, I feel like I have some balance in my life… 

One of my issues before starting the program was not having enough time to do the things I like to do.  Like most other people, I work full time plus manage a home.  Since working with you, (in addition to getting healthier) I have managed to find time to keep to a 5 days/week workout schedule at the gym, add Toastmasters to help me speak and work with people better and, I went from being a non-runner to training for a half marathon, which I am planning to do in the fall. My hubby commented yesterday that he hasn't seen me so relaxed and happy in a long time. I don't feel like I'm making sacrifices and cutting corners.  I feel good about the choices I've made!  Thank you, Mandy, for helping me create that balance."

"When I think about where I was and where I am now, I can say without a doubt that the decision to work with Mandy was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I am a different person than I was before we started working together. There is no way to put a value on that."

People think they know what they need to do to lose weight, but there are so many myths and misinformation out there. So many of us are wasting our time doing the wrong things! Mandy cuts through all the clutter. I got exactly what I needed and it was so much easier than I expected.”

“I never thought I’d be able to get my weight down to the level it’s currently at.  I can tell my metabolism has changed somehow! YAY! I feel like a new person thanks to you, Mandy!”

“I have completely changed the way I look at food. The program really taught me how to understand the food that I’m buying and putting in my mouth—and how it affects my body.  It really got the ball rolling for me.  My kids are even eating healthier and liking what I cook!”

"Wanted to let you know I’ve dropped 40 lbs total and still going! I was happy being 32 lbs lighter but it keeps dropping off naturally. I don’t notice, because I don’t weigh myself much…I just go by how clothes fit. I was at a networking thing Friday morning and people were commenting on how I’d lost more weight. I was like…really? For grins, I put on a pair of new pants that I bought 4 years ago. They are still in style and I thought what the heck…give it a try. They fit all right. I need to have them altered at the tailor. Now that was fun!”
