 JOY IS THIS WEEKS HEALTHY WINNER...

"At some time everyone reading this has probably tried to lose weight and failed. That had been my yo-yo history until three years ago, when my doctor informed me that I was pre-diabetic, and that was not where I wanted to be!

At just the right time, my exercise coach told me about a program that was safe, fast, used no pills, and I would lose up to 2 to 5 lbs. a week. I didn't believe it would work, but I was ready to try anything.  

I kept in touch with my health coach and used this easy to follow program to lose 35 lbs. in 16 weeks and got to my healthy weight. Since then, I've kept it in the 'healthy' range, because now I have the tools, understanding, and support I never had before.

A lifetime of dieting ended...what a life changer. I'm so thankful!"
