Loving Yourself |

Here is Amanda’s inspiring story: “In a couple of days I will be at the one year mark of my optimal health journey. In January last year I called and asked for help in my journey towards health. My health coach helped me learn what it meant to be healthy. I’ve currently lost 75 lbs and I’m getting closer and closer to my goal each day. I lost a lot of weight over the last 365 days but I gained so much more. I finally understand what it means to truly love yourself and because of that I was able to really let someone love me.” Results vary: Typical results are 2-5 pounds per week for the first 2 weeks and 1-2 pounds per week thereafter. |
