I must just start by saying that I love this program and the Fitness Matters staff!!! In the previous three weeks I have lost 7 lbs total, but it really is not JUST about the weight loss at all. I feel completely different in ways that I thought I had lost a while back with weight gain and age (not that I'm OLD, I'll be 44 in November) but I guess I had just given up. Now I know with help and direction, which is really what I needed, anyone can be successful – whether it’s just weight loss or taking back your good health. That is my second goal after weight loss. Well, I guess what I am really trying to say is that it all works together; you lose weight, start moving, eat properly and everything else falls into place. For example, well this is my own experience, I never slept more that 5 maybe 6 hours a night and they were never very restful. Now I sleep 7-8 hours and they are fabulous. My whole day is completely different now!

Next, I had chronic lower back pain. This pain literally would put me on my back for a week. Now with the help of Patrick and the team at Fitness Matters my core is building back up and I do not have the pain at the degree that it was. I used to be afraid to sneeze because of the severe pain which is now disappearing. YEAH!!! What a difference! The other benefit is working with Lisa Corrado, the nutritionist. I do most of my cooking and do enjoy it and she has taught me were my changes should be made. With her expertise I have bettered my food habits. She is a real pleasure to meet with and talk to.

Just believe in yourself and you can really do anything. I had given up, but knew if I just had that little hand at my back showing me and walking with me in the right direction, I to could achieve my goals, what ever they are. Now I just love getting to my workouts and doing my home cardio. I JUST FEEL BETTER.
