Let me introduce myself. I am a retired 72-year-old woman, even though that number sounds like it belongs to someone else. No way can I be that old! Not sure how, or when, that happened!! I am quite healthy and active. No significant health problems, although I'm watching my blood pressure and my cholesterol but, so far, no need for medication. However, I have struggled with my weight since my first pregnancy over 40 years ago. At first, I joined Weight Watchers and was careful about eating and slowly but eventually I was able to get to my goal weight. Again and again. Then I couldn't lose without also adding exercise. But for the past few years even that hasn't been working. I routinely walked 3-7 miles most days and was somewhat careful with my eating but have been very frustrated with my creeping weight...in the wrong direction! So when I read about Committed Coaching I was desperately wanting help and willing to try something new. I signed up just before embarking on a 4-week trip with friends to Costa Rica. Crazy! Not the ideal time or place to start a new program, but I was afraid of how much I would gain while I was away. And I was fed up and desperate!! What I was doing wasn't working. I was matched with a coach and talked with him a few days before leaving. I explained the difficulties I would be having trying to keep to this program while away, but he said we'd work through them and he'd help as best he could. He sent me lots of resources, answered my questions, explained the program, and was very supportive and positive. Between being restricted to the limited inventory of foods available in the small local grocery store and the lack of availability of many foods I'm used to made planning and eating according to the protocols of the program challenging. I had no car and, unfortunately, my access to Internet was also sporadic. I also had friends who were cooking and eating which was often hard for me to pass up! I've been on the program now for 4 weeks and have lost only 2 pounds. All of the above is why I think I've had a slow start, despite walking 5 miles everyday on the beach. But, I didn't gain weight, so given the circumstances that's a win! I'm back home now and looking forward to further exploring all the resources available: A variety of food plans and options, recipes, exercise plans and videos, tutorials, classes, and groups that I didn't have the time or space (or Internet connection) to take full advantage of until now. The support and encouragement I've gotten from my coach, Rod, has been invaluable. He's always available and responds quite quickly. He takes you where you are, helps you understand the program, and simultaneously celebrates your wins while gently, persistently nudges you to do more or/and better. Step by step, little by little. Through the program and with his explanations I'm beginning to see why what I had been doing before wasn't working. For example, the reason why the 5 miles I've been walking almost every day hasn't resulted in more weight loss is because my body has gotten used the that and needs to be challenged with something different. The group chats have also been extremely useful. Rod starts with something he wants to teach us or challenge us to do, which is very helpful in and of itself. Then he opens it up to comments and questions from the group. I'm surprised what I can learn from their successes and challenges and little tips they've discovered. I am excited about finally having the time and space and control of my life to really incorporate this program/philosophy into my life. I have no doubt that not too many months from now I will finally reach, and be able to maintain, a healthy weight and lifestyle. I have faith in my coach to help guide me, encourage me, gently push me, and keep me accountable. He's my personal cheerleader as well as task master, using positive reinforcement and encouragement to keep me motivated and on the path. With all this personal attention and support, I can do this...and so can you!!

I have done many diets in my life and with only a week into it feels soooo good. I like how in control I feel. Love it!!

One of the reasons I signed up for Commmitted Coaches is my opportunity to have a weight loss coach. Gabe has proven to be kind, supportive, consistent, and knowledgeable in coaching me.

Sometimes keeping up with all the individual information on a daily basis becomes tiring as the habits are developed. Once the habits are are established, I don’t feel the need to continually record. I realize that the time frame is not the same for all, but a pattern can be established at different times. I really enjoy the different exercise videos. Having a variety and length is helpful. Also, I tend to write down things in my own journal.

I have a wonderful coach who is being very patient with me. I will soon be 77 years old and I am not able to adjust to new things as quickly as I use too. Trying to lose weight at this age is so very hard for me. It’s never been easy but this helps with the Guide Lines they give you and recipes. This is my last weight loss program that I intend to take part in but my coach is very understanding and does not push me accept to keep me in the right track. I would recommend this program because the tools are there to help us and the coaches.

I am 75 years old and have been dieting since high school. Most of those diets were very strict, sometimes counting every bite, every gram, of everything I even thought about eating. Thus, making them exhausting, physically, mentally, and emotionally with the primary motivation being shame. This left me without hope, a sense that nothing would change for me and I would be doomed to a life of not just being overweight, but with low energy, increasingly less mobile, with brain fog and lack of confidence and low esteem.I quite accidently found Committed Coaches and was surprised by their quarantee which sparked a sense of hope that just maybe

I’m very new to this program.Super excited and I already have made progress… eating more, feeling better, and losing weight.I love the support and cheering on from the entire team.

Committed Coaches has been a life changer in a very positive way. My coach Brett encouraged me and gave great information to equip me to get healthy. Although I did meet my goal weight, moving the scale was not only goal. Living a healthy life style was! I feel so empowered to keep integrating these life skills that I've learned. Was a win win for me!
