Joanne's Story
My husband Lee and I started our journey in April 2006.  It is funny that it was our daughter who brought the program to us.  Her husband, Rick, ran across a guy at the gym who talked to him about the business side of the program, not the program for weight loss.  So our daughter got into the business and guess who were her first clients? She calls us her poster children!  She asked if we would give her just 5 weeks of our lives to see if the program worked.

Well, we had tried everything, so why not.  At the time Lee was weighing in at 300 hundred pounds and I was close behind him at 210. Lee had type II diabetic and was taking 3 oral medications.  I had high blood pressure and had been taking medication for 20 years.

So we started the program together. Our commitment was to give this an honest shot, so we followed a no cheating rule. The rest is history now, in eight months we lost 185 pounds! Of course men lose weight faster than women, so Lee was always ahead of me losing 105 in 8 months and I losing 80 pounds in 8 months.   I really got upset during our weight lose phase of the program because he was always ahead of me.  What was most important is that we kept at it and the weight every week came off.  I averaged 2.86 pounds per week and Lee 3.28. 

You may ask yourself, was it easy? Our answer is it's one the easiest program we have ever done.  When you are on the program you take back control because you don’t have to count calories you just have to be able to count to 6 and eat every 3 hours.  Oh, and drink lots and lots of water.

So here we are 4 years later, both at our goal weight in maintenance.  We still eat every 3 hours, drink lots of water and get plenty of exercise. So how do we feel about the program now? Well it saved our lives.  The way we were going, we were headed for an early grave, that was for sure. 

You ask how life looks today?  Well Lee is off of all his medications and his type II diabetic is in control now with his weight loss.  I am no longer on my blood pressure medication controlled by my weight loss. 
We feel alive again. 

A side story to our weight loss is that after 24 years we were able to get into our wedding clothes.  Don’t ask us why we still had them. When we started the program Lee could not get the pants over his butt, and I could not get my arm in the sleeve of my jacket.  To celebrate our success, in February of 2007 we went on a Mexican cruise and wore our wedding clothes again.

Role of the Health Coach
The challenges the average American confronts daily are significant.   The food industry continues to flood the market with high calorie, processed foods filled with too much fat, sugar, additives, and poor nutrients.  Nutritional misinformation is everywhere with many diets that offer temporary results but rarely have any long-lasting value. Our society is over-worked and over-stressed, often leading to poor health, obesity and a diminished quality of life.

But there is a solution. Everything a person needs to get healthy and stay healthy is already known and available with Take Shape for Life!  Why? Because our program offers so much more than simply weight loss!

The role of the Health Coach is help you lose weight and manage health through nutritional intervention.  Medifast meal replacements are among the best in the industry.  With them, you will be able to optimize your physical healthy by losing weight quickly and safely and then adopting the BeSlim philosophy or permanent weight control to keep if off for life. 

Take Shape for Life is a prescription for life.  It is a lifestyle change and NOT a short –term “quick fix” diet.  We all know diets do not work.  Long-term Optimal Health results when you learn to eat properly and to make the proper changes in your behaviors.

My role as your Health Coach is to help you safely and rapidly reach your optimal weight – as measured by your Body Mass Index (BMS) – and then teach you the behaviors modifications and lifestyle changes necessary to remain at a healthy weight for the rest of your life.

This 2 phase approach is important: Phase I – Safety and Rapid Weight loss and Phase II – Transition to the BeSlim philosophy for lifelong weight control.

My role, as your Health Coach is to educate, mentor, coach, encourage, inform, solve problems, and celebrate successes with you.
