Down 30 Pounds - Happy and Healthy!

Before I started Stephanie's 6-week course, I was 220lbs with a constantly bloated and sore stomach, poor sleep quality, and deteriorating mental and physical health. Through Stephanie's assessment and 6-week course, I reached my first goal: lose 20lbs and weigh less than 200lbs.

Before I started Stephanie's 6-week course, I was 220lbs with a constantly bloated and sore stomach, poor sleep quality, and deteriorating mental and physical health. Through Stephanie's assessment and 6-week course, I reached my first goal: lose 20lbs and weigh less than 200lbs. As I have not weighed less than 200lbs in over 2 years, I never thought that I would be able to lose that much weight. However, Stephanie and her program proved me wrong. Since then, my physical and mental well-being has improved drastically. I have continued the program independently and have continued to see progress. On my own, I have lost an additional 10lbs thus far, bringing my total weight loss to approximately 30lbs in 2.5 months.
Not only does Stephanie help you achieve your goals, but she helps teach you how to maintain your goals. What has helped me the most is Stephanie's motto that this is a "lifestyle change", not just a diet. With the help of her and her program, I have started to feel like myself again. Now, I feel happier, healthier, and better able to manage my previous eating habits (e.g., binge eating). To anyone worried about taking that next step in your journey, I highly recommend taking that step with Stephanie. I wouldn't be where I am or have the tools required to maintain my progress in this journey without her help. Thank you, Stephanie! You have helped me change my life in more ways than I can express.

Amber, Age 22
