I knew I had to do something or soon I was going to become 300 pounds and well on my way to a heart attack.

I got the great idea that I could get some exercise walking around the neighborhood during lunch hour. It seemed like a good idea, but I still didn’t know the foods to avoid or how to focus into a real exercise program that could last for a lifetime, not just until I gave up like I usually would have done.

Then I met Linda last April. We worked on a healthy reasonable food plan. We talked about foods to avoid or just taste and not make a meal over. We worked on a strength and conditioning program. Every week there was a weigh in and I was accountable for what I did or did not do each week. It worked. I did not lose weight every week, but I lost weight most weeks. I have lost over 60 pounds to date, my blood pressure is great, my blood glucose levels are fine. I am stronger and just feel better than I have in years. I even added 40 yards back onto my driver in golf. My family went on a family vacation to Jamaica and we went to Duns River Falls. I was literally able to bound up the falls. No way I could have done that six months earlier.

Linda has helped my keep the faith and not give up or settle for just a temporary short-term weight loss. I have not completed my goals, but I am still working on them and I can actually see and end in sight. I think that anyone who was in my circumstances really needs a good coach, someone that they can trust, and someone who will listen and make a program that can work for each individual’s physical condition and needs. Linda has been great for me, and if you give her the chance, she can be great for you.”  - Doug R.
