I Lost 32 Pounds
Dear Linda,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to write and thank you for all that you have helped me to accomplish these last few months. Since our first meeting August 30th, my whole life has changed. I have been through many tremendous life challenges, both emotionally and physically.
Our first meeting was at your home for a “Healthy Lifestyle Solutions Workshop”. I learned about your seminars from a co-worker and wanted to know more about your program. I took advantage of your complimentary consultation and decided that your program of self-hypnosis and whole food nutrition might be the final solution to my many years of unsuccessful dieting.
What did I have to lose? I was the heaviest I had ever been. I had even been advised by a bariatric surgeon to GAIN weight so he could get me qualified for by-pass surgery!! To quote Susan Pouter… it was “time to stop the insanity”. I have no doubt God had a plan for me and that you were to play an integral part in it.
After we decided on a plan of action, I felt optimistic enough to hope that maybe I could finally be healthy and fit. As a middle school teacher, I was having a hard time keeping up with my students. I was afraid that maybe I would not be able to keep my job because I could not stand and walk around the room as needed to be effective in my classroom.
So, on the journey we began. I feel the need to say we, because I have never felt alone throughout the whole process. You have always made yourself available and encouraged me to call if I need to talk. After my first hypnosis session, I felt a new kind of confidence that I had not felt in myself in a long time. Maybe I could do this!!! The signals you taught me, the special “tools” in my toolbox, and my CD’s to reinforce what I had learned in “school”, were working.
My internist was delighted when she saw me. I had lost nine pounds and my cholesterol had gone down 60 points. I was off to a great start. It was at this time that I decided to add Juice Plus+ to my new healthy lifestyle. The Complete shakes were very tasty and a great way for me to quickly have a balanced breakfast at 5am in the morning!! I took my Juice Plus+ capsules in the morning and in the afternoon with a couple of Thins. It was helping so much not to come home from work and be so ravenously hungry.
I was starting to be able to tell a difference in my clothes. I could “breathe” when I bent over to tie my shoes!!! To date, I have lost 32 pounds and my cholesterol is down 102 points. My doctor is ecstatic for me and is fast becoming a believer in the power of the mind and healthy eating. While I do give myself credit for my hard work….it is you who deserve all of the credit for empowering me to take charge of my life and be accountable for my health and well being.
The skills I have learned from your healthy eating seminars and as a client in your hypnosis program have changed my life for good…..and most definitely for the better. I would highly recommend your workshops and seminars to anyone who really wants to make permanent lifestyle changes. Living healthy and happy is my lifelong goal. You have taught me the skills I need to know to accomplish this. It is also a comfort to know that if I need a “booster shot” from time to time, that I can attend an “Ultimate Weight Loss Seminar” for reinforcement.
Your commitment to your clients and dedication to helping people live up to their potential by making healthy lifestyle choices has been a blessing that has saved my life. I no longer eat for all the wrong reasons and have learned what to eat for the RIGHT reasons!! I have learned to relax and feel good about myself again.
I just want to thank you so much, Linda. Your programs and materials have been well worth my financial investment. What price does one put on their life? I like to think that instead of existing day to day like I had in the past, that I now live my life to the fullest each day!! I walk a little taller…my head a little higher!!
I intend to spread the word about your good work….but, when people see me….they just HAVE to know what have I been doing to look so good??!! I guess the results simply speak for themselves!!
God bless you and your devotion to helping people,
Very sincerely yours,
