The
Lifestyle
Program

From Myra Leo:

I have been meeting with Fran since January 2006 and I am happy to report that I am still meeting with Fran because I am closer to reaching my goal weight. I had heard from too many sources about this nutritionist and the exciting weight loss program she offered. I decided it was my turn to really and for the last time get a hold of my weight challenges. As a lobbyist, our days usually begin with breakfast meetings and end with dinner meetings. While the lifestyle is sometimes glamourized, it can also be stressful and challenging at times - food is always available and we have our choice of the best restaurants for entertaining purposes.

This year marked some significant challenges as I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma earlier in the year. And while surgery and radiation ensued, I was able to continue my focus and maintain my weight with continued weight loss following my recovery period. I am still committed to reaching my goals and will continue meeting with Fran as this is the best thing I have ever done - finally someone has demystified the world of food and made it easy to follow a plan. I have even begun walking in the morning which is not something I would naturally do; however due to my schedule I needed to incorporate exercise and it seems to be still working for me. Another exciting consequence is that my husband has beeen benefitting from my lifestyle changes as well. He has lost weight and continues to do so by being aware of his eating habits and implementing a healthier lifestyle.

I really never thought I could change my old ways but I have and really it was because I was at the end of my rope like so many of us. The reality for me was I had gained weight and did not want to face the truth until by accident one day I learned how much I really weighed and it was frightening. Actually for the first couple of months with Fran I avoided looking at the scale - even then I didn't want to face it. All of that has changed for me now; I know exactly how much I weigh and am looking forward to my continued weight loss. What I know is if you really want something, you will prioritize it and stay committed. What I love about this program is that it is very forgiving and everyday I have the opportunity to make up for any missteps and still lose weight. I love the fact that I am not on a diet. I can trully eat what I want as long as I am within my calorie range. This is answered prayer for me. Thank you Fran!
