| Testimonials on the Total Changes Nutrition Program! |

I'm amazed how the "Total Changes Nutrition" program has affected my life. It's not just my weight and inches that have changed. My life overall is different. I now know and believe that I am in control of my eating habits, not my emotions, and in turn have better control over my life. I've learned so much about nutrition and exercise, and understand how to make it work for me. This is not a "diet? it is a lifestyle change that I could not have been successful with, without Total Changes! It was hard work and determination on my part, and the support of my trainer made this program fun and worth every penny. Thank you for giving me the keys to my success!
Total weight loss: 13lbs.
Total Inches lost: 17in.
I lost over 20 lbs and 16 inches and lowered my body fat by 5% with
The Total Changes Nutrition Program. I have 2 chronic illnesses, but with the weight loss and stronger muscles, I have MORE energy and feel more confident than I have in years!
When I first started the Total Changes Nutrition Program it was hard for me to admit?I needed help losing weight, but it was clear I was?t successful on my own. I worried about others expectations AND worried if my illnesses would prevent me from really working out enough to make the changes in my body that I wanted, I guess I just did?t believe in myself.
The Total Changes Nutrition Program is an excellent, personalized & supported nutrition & exercise program. The commitment of working with a personal trainer 3 times a week was the accountability that I needed to see it through!
Amazing what a commitment to the 12-Week Total Changes Program can do for you. This program is effective and it will work, if you work the plan!
At first I was a bit apprehensive to make this investment of my time and money. I knew I had made the right decision because of the personal attention I received.
Exercising for many years, I hit an exercise plateau. I would go to the gym, attend a few classes, and did some weight training but I was inconsistent, going through the motions with little results. This program made me accountable not only to myself but to my trainer. The individual attention to adhere to my new strength training plan along with a nutrition plan; both of these combined helped me to reach a healthy BMI, great weight loss along with inches loss too.
For too long, I stayed focused on a scale number. My basic goal was to drop those last ten pounds. Once I saw the BMI test, I wanted to lose ten and to close the gap of my excess unhealthy fat, which was a high 5% excess. My focus changed: drop ten if I can, close the gap, and get rid of excess fat to have a normal body fat level.
After twelve weeks of hard work?I have succeeded. I?m almost to my goal weight wise, lost the 5% excess, and am within a healthy body fat range- lowering my risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Special thanks for all the support, guidance, educating, me in better nutrition and encouraging me with each visit one on one.
Thank you to my exercise buddies who signed my support sheet and stopped me from ?whining? every now and then when I?d complain. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I could not have done this without a great support system.
Lost 10 lbs and 9.75 inches!

TOTAL CHANGES - It works if you work it!!
I signed up for "Total Changes" when it first started in March of 2005. I was looking for a program that would incorporate nutrition and exercise and, most importantly, accountability. I have tried several times to bring myself to a healthy weight and body fat percentage. I was up and down. I became frustrated. When I read the "Total Changes" flyer I became excited again. Meeting with a personal trainer 3 times a week kept me on task and motivated. I went from a fat % of 34.3% to 26.8% in just 12 weeks. How did I do it? Working the program! I attended nutrition talks, kept a food log and kicked up the intensity of my workouts! I never felt deprived or tired. I ate every 3-4 hours and never felt hungry or had cravings. In fact, several times I was told to increase the number of calories I was eating because I wasn't eating enough. I felt satisfied. No sugar highs and lows. I took away the term "recreational foods" from one of the food talks and it stuck with me. Before this program I didn't realize how much "recreational food" I ate as staples in my diet. I didn't eat a large amount but I ate them often. Now, I view those foods as a treat. It's been 3 months since I finished the program and I feel better than I have in years. I have been able to maintain my weight and kept up with the nutrition. I have more energy. When I feel like I need a boost I return to the materials I received or meet with a trainer. I have received and continue to receive compliments about my weight loss and frequently get asked how I am doing it. I tell them nutrition, exercise and accountability (to myself). The best compliment I received was from a co-worker and friend. She told me I inspired her to stay on track when she was feeling discouraged about her weight loss efforts. She is working hard and just recently joined the gym as the next step on her journey. I wish her continued success. So, if you need that extra boost, such as I did, I highly recommend the "Total Changes" program. It will change your perceptions about "diet" and place your focus back on nutrition for a healthy lifestyle. Thank you for putting a program in place that incorporates nutrition and exercise for a healthy lifestyle!
As Barbara always says, and I quote, "ignore your health and it will go away."
