Kym – Lost 70 pounds!
Kym has truly been a joy to watch during her transformation. If you were to ask her coach, she would tell you Kym taught her something every week!
She shared her struggles openly and took ownership of finding solutions to obstacles.
Here’s what she had to say about her time with us:
“I came in because I saw a photo of myself and it was truly shocking to see how different I looked. When I stepped on the scale I was 100 lbs heavier than I had been 12 years prior. I was also experiencing physical issues like swollen feet, knee pain, and fatigue from having gained so much weight. I have tried to get my weight issues under control for over 10 years but instead of losing, I kept gaining and never really making any progress.
WellnessMD’s program worked for me first and foremost because I was ready, I was out of excuses, I needed to follow a program to a T, trust the process, and get expert help. The coaching element helped me to evaluate my weekly behaviors, why I was able to stay on track successfully, and the factors that led me to not be able to follow the program or situations and feelings that led me to overeat. My coach Ally wasn’t judgmental. That helped me not to judge myself, but rather to observe and focus on behaviors and realize that I had a choice. I learned to think about ways I could cope with stress other than eating.
Balancing my hormones with BioTe also allowed me to maximize my weight loss and may be a large factor in helping me lose weight as well.
I’ve done lots of diets and a few programs. The thing I found most surprising was how much we focus on eating and our behaviors that are formed by so much more than food. Our behaviors are indicators of things we need to work to heal or learn new strategies or skills.
It was never “this is easy” it was always “this is hard and you are doing it, one day, one week at a time”.
What I liked most about WellnessMD was feeling supported by all the staff and my coach Ally. She really helped me walk through this process and it really made a huge difference in me being successful this time.
I have met a lot of my personal health goals. I have more energy, am carrying significantly less fat around with me, and my body doesn’t hurt all the time. I have new health goals that involve having fun with exercise and movement now.
It’s exciting to be ready to try new things and to know I can do it. I achieved something very difficult, I dealt with underlying factors of why I would use food to numb, and I feel strong and able to make informed and aware choices. This journey has definitely left me empowered to go after challenges and know that I can achieve them, with focus and weekly action plans”. ❤️
