Read Tara & Cindy’s complete story:
Tara: I was just tired of not feeling healthy. I just wanted to feel healthy and more like myself, so we….she brought it up and then we decided just to start it.
Cindy: Just after all the pandemic and everything, it was like, we just need to do something. So I just called her up and said, “What do you think about going up there? And she said, yes. And so we decided we would start in March and we started.
Tara: Well. I had done it before, and then I had medical issues so I had to stop. So I knew it worked. And we, you know, she watched me previously, so…
Cindy: Right. I knew she had had success here before she had her medical issues. So I thought it was just a good idea that we could start here and it would be something we both could do and we could support each other.
Tara: We ate real food and the support Tammi and Rosie gave us, the support from having each other do it together, and just everything just came together.
Cindy: I think it was the accountability I was accountable to her as a team. We're going to come here and do this together and then just that accountability of weighing in weekly and having our food journals and just that was helpful knowing that we had to do that. So it made me stick with it. They're wonderful. They make you laugh. They're supportive. If you feel like you've messed up, they just, you know, let you know that it's OK, that it's a journey. One thing she told me is like, if you're doing this is as diet, you will gain it all back when you're finished because it's a lifestyle change. And so just the whole way through, I thought of it as a journey and a lifestyle change that I'm going to stick with after I finish my maintenance here and continue on in life.
Tara: I feel like we're more friends now than clients. They're just wonderful. They've helped me when you know, I've been stuck, they've helped me. They're just wonderful. Supportive. I lost 95 pounds.
Cindy: I’ve lost 74 pounds.
Tara: I’m more active. I'm happier. I wake up every morning knowing that this is the way I'm going to live my life now, and I’m on a great journey.
Cindy: Definitely more active. And I think, you know, if you don't use it, you lose it. And so I think mobility, I feel like I have a lot more mobility than I had before as far as my movement and just feeling better and happy. And it's fun clothes shopping again. And it just—it just makes you feel better.
