"This program helped me reset my body and diet"
“I was yo-yo-ing with my diet and did not feel good in my skin anymore. I met with Dr. Gluck one day and he recommended this program! This program helped me reset my body and diet. It was a tool to help me pay attention to my eating habits and the foods I was eating. I found what foods would trigger me to overeat and understand the goal is to get proper nutrition and satisfy my body.
It gave me a boost in resetting my mind in how I think about food. It was always my go-to when it came to my emotions. I am an emotional eater. I am recognizing this about myself and finding different ways to deal with that. Using these tools to not beat myself up if I have a bad day or if I eat something I shouldn’t rather it has helped me move on from it and do the things I need to do."

"I didn't think I would have the will power"
"I decided to start the non-surgical weight loss program because I had become the heaviest I have ever been while not being pregnant, and had absolutely no motivation to change my poor eating habits of mostly carbs and tons of sweets. I was not quite heavy enough to qualify for bariatric surgery, so I was worried that I would fail at this program since there wasn’t a surgery that could stop me from eating the things I wanted. I didn’t think I would have the willpower."
"The focus on protein is something I have never done before in my attempts at losing weight in the past, and I believe that has helped as well. It has been great not having to track calories, as that is something I have always done in the past, and has brought me stress. I honestly rarely ever have the feeling of hunger anymore.
I never in a million years thought that could happen to me, as I was always hungry around the clock and thinking about my next snack or meal as soon as I was done eating my current one.
All the information and meal ideas that Shelby gives in the handouts have been so helpful as well, and now many of these things will become a staple for me for the rest of my life."

"Making the decision to call Life Without Limits…. GAME CHANGER!"
My “why” for losing weight included wanting to improve my health, gain energy and confidence. I was tired of being tired all the time and wanted to be a healthier role model for my children. Of course, over time, I had tried fad diets, joined gyms (my day does not feel complete if I haven’t been to the gym or completed 30 minutes of home exercise now), but never followed through with the plans I had made in my head. I needed to have someone other than myself to hold me accountable and to make realistic goals for myself. I started this journey with a goal of becoming healthy, which included a weight loss goal of losing ninety pounds, currently I have lost over thirty pounds in 12 weeks. My starting weight was 261lbs. and currently I weigh 226lbs. With the tools and support I have no doubt I will reach my goal. This is not only a “program” but a lifelong change to being healthy and present in my roles as a mother, wife, daughter, and nurse.
I have been overweight much of my life, beginning in my childhood and into my adult life. At 44 years old I was the heaviest I had ever been, was diabetic, borderline hypertensive, and high cholesterol numbers and chronic back pain. I was always told that my weight did not define me, but it surely was a big barrier to the life I wanted to be living. As a nurse, being overweight made me feel like a hypocrite when treating my patients. I would feel as if they were thinking, “How am I supposed to take this lady seriously on how to be healthy when she clearly in not.”
Making the decision to call Life Without Limits…. GAME CHANGER! From the initial phone call to my last visit, I have felt nothing BUT support and encouragement. Seeing the changes that my body and mind have experienced in this short 12-week period is phenomenal. They gave me the tools and the resources to become a healthier, stronger, and more importantly happier person. The changes made in my life were little in comparison to the healthier life I will continue to enjoy. - Elizabeth
