After seeing Pam, my beautiful daughter-in-law, at our Oregon 2008 October family reunion, I was dazzled by her fitness and weight loss. Pam immediately shared the “Its My Now” journal with me! On October 20th, a week or so after everyone went home, I grabbed the book, started my journey, and now, 62 days into “my now”, have lost a very solid 17 lbs! Figuring out the fiber, protein, carbs, water, etc etc kept me very interested, focused and gave real impetus to go deeper and learn more about all aspects of every detail. From BMI to cholesterol, LBM, fats, I was a sponge and recorded all relevant facts and thoughts in my book! I especially loved all the motivating ’sound bites” at the bottom of each page and reading those bottom tidbits has certainly reduced my bottom, I can tell you that! I won’t tell you how old I am (and hope Pam won’t either ), but a couple nights ago as my husband I were leaving for a dinner date, he looked at me and said “I can’t believe how hot you look” . . . and he is not one to let loose with too many compliments! So, this program works because it gets your mind and body engaged in the process with an added plus of a recorded journal of the journey! Congratulations Pam and Angie! You have a winner and since you are both outstanding winners I’m not surprised!
My entire life I have battled with my weight. Trying different 'diets', miracle pills, gimmicks...you name it, I tried it! Once stopping the 'diet or gimmick', I would gain all my weight back and then some. I have never understood labels or what I should be looking for in the foods I eat. I was very skeptical of the 'Big 5', but figured I have nothing to lose at this point! Now, 5 months later I can honestly say I never felt like I was on a 'diet'. 23 lbs and still losing! A TIGHT 14 and now a loose 10! I have a clear understanding of what is needed for my body and what is not. For the first time EVER I feel like I am in control and am making choices that serve my body well. If everyone would stop with the excuses and try this program, they too will see...it is life changing!
Let me just say WOW!! It has been 3 years since I weighed less than 200 lbs. Your life strategy is awesome. I am feeling better, looking better, and have more confidence. The plan is simple...although keeping up with the Big 5 gave me problems at first. I can't wait to use the new tracking tools and the support could not have been better.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the test group. It changed my life - thinking about my health and habits. I am pleased to tell you I am down 23lbs. I feel so much better about myself, my health, energy and attitude! I am wearing things I have not worn in over 2 years. It's been so great to answer people " I am exercising and eating healthy" when asked about my continued weight loss. I am definitely ready to take it to the next level - I am so not done. I believe the accountability to yourself and your partner are key. Nadine and I were great partners. We really helped each other to stay on track.
