I am in my 60’s and have tried so many different diets in the past.  Even though I experienced some success, the results were short-lived and I found myself frustrated after every failed attempt.  When I enrolled in Health Coaching with Amanda, I was looking for help with implementing changes that I could sustain long-term.

I started working with Amanda and the support didn’t stop after my virtual Coaching Session. Amanda would often share information with me via email about different health and wellness topics that supported my individualized goals and gradual lifestyle changes.

My ultimate goal was to experience weight loss as a way to manage my blood sugar. I knew that prediabetes and body weight were affected by my eating habits and exercise routine. Health Coaching helped me to understand how nutrition and exercise impact weight and blood sugar. I never knew how much exercise could improve my health. I also learned that meals can be simple and still be healthy. Using my past experiences and newfound knowledge, I was able to achieve the following after just seven months of gradual changes:

• Loss of 21 pounds

• Improved skin

• Back pain resolved

• Increased strength and fitness level

• Clearer mind and sharper memory

• Increased energy

• Lower fasting blood sugar

• Lower hemoglobin A1C level

Gone are the days of brain fog and feeling sluggish after an unhealthy meal. I feel so accomplished after committing to regular exercise.  I now know how to properly fuel my body, and I’m enjoying increased energy and sharper memory.  It’s so nice to hear compliments from people affirming the changes they’ve noticed as a result of my hard work!

As a result of my healthy changes, I’ve lost 21 pounds and feel confident about maintaining this new lifestyle. I plan on sticking with this for the rest of my life.

If I were to share words of inspiration to others I would encourage them never to give up. You’re going to experience challenges, but despite obstacles never lose sight of how far you’ve come and where you want to go on your health journey.
