I met Donna at the Fitness Fair that the local anti-obesity initiative, Healthy Lombard, that I partnered with, held in our community annually.  Back then she was a spectator watching my weight loss coaching client Cindy Musiel take the stage to receive her Health Hero award.

After that, Donna became a coaching client herself and the following year, she was on that stage smiling and proudly receiving her own Health Hero award after losing 37 pounds (and she's continued to lose now down 44.5 pounds to date), and now she's the one inspiring others!

Like many of the people who ultimately become my weight loss coaching clients, before Donna found me, she was just about to throw in the towel for good on trying to lose weight.

Fortunately, she believed me when I told her that this time losing weight really would be different, and for good, because we were going to work on healthy lifestyle changes in small steps that fit with who she uniquely was, and no food would be off limits.

In the 10 months that I’ve coached Donna, besides losing 39 pounds, she's learned to love and crave movement and working out regularly, and has made great strides towards beating emotional eating for good. Donna really appreciated the fact that dealing with stress eating was something that I had first-hand experience with and successfully overcame in losing the 48 pounds that changed my life and led me to change careers to the wellness profession.

Donna has been an especially interesting client because she and her husband eat out at least one meal almost every single day. But by us working together with this reality, she’s learned that losing weight doesn’t have to mean deprivation or giving up favorite foods--she can still eat out regularly and lose weight as long as she makes good choices, watches portion sizes and gets plenty of movement and exercise in her day. 

At more than halfway to her goal of losing 70 pounds and returning to the weight she was at when she got engaged, Donna is still a work in progress, but she’s already back to being the woman she was in the past—one who is confident, full of energy, lights up a room and enjoys being in pictures.
