“Although I just started with the Smoking Cessation focus, I feel as though this may make a difference in my success. I've had failed attempts in the past - I think the difference in this program is providing the medical facts. If I understand physically why / when /how my body is reacting to not smoking, I have a better chance of preparing and reacting.”

I am doing fabulous and feeling great—exercising every day and eating right. Wow. What a difference. I actually have energy and get right up each morning. This has never happened before. Total loss so far: 30 pounds...and going strong!

I can’t wait to discuss this wonderful Program and how much it has truly changed my life for the better!
—Rosalie P., 29-year-old graduate student

 

“How muscles help lose weight - this video is great - simple, to the point, and for the first time I heard the message of why I should be combining resistance training to my workout plan. Very helpful!”
—Analyst, Cincinnati, OH

 

I’m sleeping better and feel back on track. The Program works exactly right for me—lots of progress and focus despite a horrendous schedule and plenty of stress.
—Eric D., 52-year-old software engineer

 

“I love that the videos are educational, not just encouraging change, but explaining "why". In just a couple of days, I've already learned a lot & feel motivation brewing! I especially liked the explanation about cortisol and stress. Very interesting & even more motivation to learn to manage my stress.”
—Analyst, Cincinnati, OH

 

I have never felt as healthy, confident and in shape as I feel today. There is no doubt I will continue my healthy lifestyle for the rest of my life. I remain your ever-thinning, never-smoking, headache-free fan for life.
—Jeff T., 51-year-old business manager

 

When I started, I was 40 pounds overweight and a smoker. With this Program, I lost 40 pounds, quit smoking and ran a half-marathon. I married a wonderful woman, and we just had our first baby! My life is amazing now. I’m still smoke-free, and although I gained a little sympathy weight during my wife’s pregnancy, I’ve essentially kept the weight off, and I’ve stuck with the diet and exercise practices. Thank you. This has changed my life.
—Peter V., 31-year-old software engineer

 

When I came into this Program, I was in recovery from breast cancer. I’ve struggled with weight my whole life but had managed to lose weight prior to starting the program—I had lost 40 pounds, but I couldn’t get the weight to drop any further. In this Program, I have learned how the brain is involved with emotional eating, and this has helped me a lot to lose an additional 12 pounds. I am elated to have also improved my cholesterol and blood sugar. I am, at last, at the age of seventy-two beginning to feel optimistic about my future.
—Joan B, 72-year-old retired teacher

 

I am just so happy—I have broken through the 300-pound barrier and have officially lost 30 pounds in my quest to get healthy again. My joy of being able to finally live like a real person and to be able to extend that joy out a decade or more—well, it’s really hard to feel better than I do right now.
—Karen W., 36-year-old, software analyst

 

Thank you so much for putting this Program together. I would likely not have quit smoking without it, and I certainly would not have lost 30 pounds while doing it! This has been a real catalyst for change in my life.
—Bill S., 45-year-old high school teacher

 

Thanks so much for this wonderful Program. I am someone who has struggled with weight issues for over 30 years and thought I was an expert. I have been through every diet on the planet, but none of them have really taught me how my body works like this program did. Spelling out the science or medical operations of the body while tying in the nutrition and the need for physical exercise has FINALLY painted a picture for me that is clear, understandable and undeniable. I feel more empowered now by this knowledge and way more convinced I can do things to achieve a better quality of life for myself and prevent disease. I have lots more confidence and a clear picture of what I need to do for myself. I am forever in your debt!
—Marcy B., 53-year-old business owner

 

“The "Understanding Your Brain" video is wonderful! I feel like I had a Ah-ha moment while watching it. I'm a perfectionist that is afraid of failure, so my pattern is to avoid doing things I'm fearful I'll fail at.... This video was a huge help - recognizing I'm not alone in this thought. Thanks!”
—Analyst, Cincinnati, OH

 

I did this Program a couple years ago and solved my sleep and headache problems. I changed a few things around in my life, and I have maintained these changes. I still look to this Program for continued support and guidance.
—Alex W., 47-year-old financial consultant

 

Thank you for this life-changing Program. I still appreciate what I learned in this program a couple years ago, and I think it is making a lasting difference to my physical health and positive attitude. I’ve lost 26 pounds and have been able to maintain my weight loss!
—Katie M., 63-year-old mother of two

 

The great thing about this Program is that it is not based on a lot of restrictive rules. It’s a Program designed to give you the tools you need to take ownership of your own health and fitness. What the Program did for me was teach me how nutrition, exercise, stress and sleep management work together to keep me healthy. I have internalized this understanding and internalized it into my life so that health has finally become a primary personal priority. Eight months after starting the Program, I have lost 52 pounds. I feel great, and everybody tells me I look terrific. The best part of it is, thanks to this Program, I know I’m NEVER going to gain the weight back.
—Tony O., 53-year-old software consultant

 

When I began this Program, I was a size 24, and I am now a size 16! That is the smallest I have ever been since before my first daughter was born 13 years ago. In a month, I am seeing my doctor to see if I can come off my cholesterol medication. My blood pressure is now normal without any medication. Thank you!
—Sharon E., 41-year-old mother of three

 

Before I began this program, I was already quite aware of the importance of good health, but I had no idea of how to take care of myself. The online Program and video education have changed my life. I have so much more fun in my life now with a healthy diet and regular exercise of soccer and volleyball. I now have good sleep habits and spend more time with my family…life is beautiful.
—Dan M., 43-year-old textile salesman

 

I started this Program about 30 pounds overweight. My weight problem was primarily due to lack of knowledge about the impact and tradeoffs of my food choices. I found the Program to be extremely effective in providing that knowledge and helping me to make practical use out of it. Over a 12-week period, I lost more than 25 pounds. My cholesterol and blood pressure dropped too. I have continued to lose weight and am now close to my ideal weight. I was never hungry during this Program and am confident my weight loss will be permanent. I now have the knowledge to make more intelligent eating choices.
—Peter M., 39-year-old bank executive

 

I strongly endorse this Program as it has literally changed my life. I am a type 2 diabetic who was struggling with my blood sugar levels and concomitant high blood pressure and cholesterol. Within even a few weeks, I was feeling better, and my blood sugars were dropping. My blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol are all now in the normal range! I was able to drop one of my diabetic medications, and I have even lost 15 pounds! I have incorporated this Program into my lifestyle, and it will not be hard to maintain it on a continuing basis. Count me in as an advocate of the Program!
—David T., 49-year-old college professor

 

“Weight Loss Maintenance Video - This video is very helpful! Understanding what others with proven succes have done to sustain their weight loss is very helpful to know now so I can prepare myself for the longterm changes I need to make to be successful. Also, although it was a bit depressing to see the success stats, it also helps me set my mindset that this will not be easy & that it will take a lifetime of dedication. Thanks.”
—Analyst, Cincinnati, OH

 

I have been participating in this Program for 18 months, and I am thrilled with the Program and my personal results. Over time, I have learned and applied a different way of living that is healthier and has made me feel better every day. I have lost 26 pounds and have maintained this weight loss. My overall health has improved, and I am no longer at an increased risk for a variety of illnesses. I am still working to increase my level of exercise and continue to reduce my weight, but I now approach this as a life plan and not a one-time diet.
—Colleen O., 48-year-old restaurant manager

 

I used this Program to help me quit smoking. I had been looking to quit for years, but it wasn’t until I got started with this Program that I actually could develop a plan and feel like I had the support to make it happen. Now, I am so thankful to wake up every morning without a craving for cigarettes. I am proud of the changes in my life this Program has helped enable.
—Paula T., 34-year-old administrative assistant
