Meet Dave!!

A few months ago I had the pleasure of working with Dave. A happy, go lucky, positive fella who needed help losing some weight. Here is his testimonial:

 "During my annual physical at my doctor’s this past March, it was decided that I was going to have to begin taking a medication to treat high cholesterol along with increasing the dosage of high blood pressure medication. I asked the doctor to allow me to try managing these conditions with diet and exercise in which he agreed and scheduled a follow-up visit in three months. At the follow-up visit in late June, the doctor admitted that he was very skeptical that I would be able to achieve success without medication, however he was astonished at what I was able to accomplish in that three month period. My cholesterol was reduced from 260 to 180 and my blood pressure was well under control.
  Melissa and her nutrition and fitness program helped me achieve my goals of losing 30 pounds and reaching a level of physical/cardiovascular fitness that I have not seen in over 25 years. Her approach to nutrition AND exercise has helped me lose double digit percentage body fat, strengthen my body’s core and increase muscle mass. I lost 4 inches off my waistline, 3½ off my hips, while increasing muscle tone. At nearly 49 years of age, I am now wearing clothes sizes that I wore back in my early 20’s. More importantly, I am healthier and feel great.
  The thought of getting back into the exercise arena after so many years (and pounds) was very intimidating to me, however Melissa removed that “intimidation factor” at our first meeting.  She has a genuine passion for helping her clients “get fit” and she truly enjoys seeing them reach and exceed their goals.  She is the best!"

      Thank YOU Dave! I have to say that his attitude toward the program really sped up his results. When I first met Dave he admitted that it had taken him about 6 years to truly commit to losing the weight. Now he was fired up and ready to go!! Because he was focused and driven he achieved his goals in 3 months! In and out! Snip, snap! Way to get it done Dave! 
      I say this so often to my clients, "Only you have the power to change. I am your guide. I am here to help, but only you can make it happen."  I believe that we can be our own worst enemies. Yet, we also possess the ability to be our own best advocate and champion.
      I challenge you today to be there for you! Like Dave, you can forge your own path and create your success story!
