"I’ve lost 20 lbs and I won’t lie and say that it’s not about how I look, because that’s certainly a big part of it. But there is so much more to it than that.

I knew my body was going down a path that only led to less movement, less strength, and less vitality. So in addition to the looser clothing, it’s finding some of my muscles again, being able to keep up with the kids and everyday activities, sleeping better, and the overall feeling of health when you are eating the right foods and drinking enough water that has really made me the happiest.

One thing I really like about Michele is that she works with me in a way that is less about me being accountable to her, and more about me being accountable to myself. It’s not just her voice in my head telling me to do this and that, but her voice helping me understand why I react to stress or obstacles a certain way and how I can change the dialogue in my own head to overcome them. And this is really what I needed to make these positive changes in my life a permanent part of how I live it.

I’m feeling better physically and handling stress better, but I’ve also learned a lot about myself emotionally. And I want to keep this trajectory going!!!!"
