As an athlete, finding the balance between eating enough of the
right foods to fuel me and not eating too much is a challenge. Being
lean is very important to me personally and Bernadette understood all
this! She was able to tailor her program to match my needs week to
week based on what sort of workout or racing goals I had. I wasn't
hungry, I was recovering from hard workouts and races quickly, and...
my best "skinny girl" jeans fit again!!!! I feel better, I look
better, I'm performing better... thanks to Bernadette!

When I heard Bernadette telling someone that she had lost
close to 90 pounds, I just had to find out how she did it. I knew that she had
been through what I'd been struggling with. I've been battling weight all my
life. Up 40 pounds, down 40 pounds. When I met Bernadette, I was just 20 pounds
from my all-time high. For the past several years, I just wasn't interested in
"dieting," so I just ate what I wanted and didn't really think about
it. But there was always something in the back of my mind nagging me. I was
never completely comfortable in my clothes, and I was always self-conscious. I
just didn't know how to change the way I was eating...When I sat down with
Bernadette and she laid out her plan, it made so much sense to me. And she made it so easy to follow. After the
first or second week, I was noticing that I didn't get headaches anymore and
that I was feeling less "bogged down" and lethargic. It's easy to
stay on this eating plan even when out of town. So I'm well on my way to my
personal goal weight and I see a bright future in both how my clothes fit and,
most of all, in my attitude and happiness. ..Thanks Bernadette.

No more blah! I want to have that kick back in my step!
Such was my mind-set when Bernie told me of her plan. Excitedly, I
signed up. Vigorously, I began. Then came the coaching - thankfully.
My previous experience with health regimens was unlike the common
proverb: "The hardest part of any journey is taking that first
step." The first step was always easy, it was the hundredth, and
thousandth steps that were the trouble. Bernie's coaching helped me
keep focus, and more importantly, interest, as the doldrums of learning
a new way of life set in. Now, four months into my new approach to
life, I am a changed man - soundly changed. On a recent vacation with
loose schedules, fast food and nice dining, I came back only one pound
gained. How? I realize that I just look at food differently - as
fuel, not a party - and eat healthier and tastier foods, hence the
choices I make are simply better. I eat less, disregard snack
temptations, keep exercising and am a much happier man. My favorite
part of the program, that which really taught me the most, was the food
journal - what an eye opener!
