I had a really great experience working with coach Liz. I had done another coaching program for over a year,

and while it helped me with the fundamentals, it did not teach me the art of maintenance. With Liz,

I had a good foundation in place with exercise and tracking while we worked to see what my body would

respond to. I ended up losing more weight, seeing a size 12 for the first time since my mid-20s.

I'm now 45. Progress always seems slow at first until one day you blink and your scale is lower

than you ever thought it would be again. Not only that, but as I

continued to lose body fat, my muscles became more visible, which is the coolest. I looked forward

to all of our check-ins each week. I had a few mental spin-outs after Christmas while over-indulging

at some trivia night events with friends.

Prior to a third trivia night, Liz and I had a good chat on the phone about strategies,

snacks to bring, and giving myself some grace. I also really appreciated Liz's support last fall.

Life got really hectic and stressful. I had a few weeks of driving from St. Louis to Cleveland to help out my mom with my stepfather

who had a series of strokes, then being there for mom over Christmas after he had passed

away.

Some weeks I did my best just to stay in maintenance instead of a deficit.

Liz supported me as I made my way through it all.

And despite the stress, the holidays, the travel, all of it, Liz supported me as I made my way through it all, and despite the stress, the holidays, the

travel, all of it, I continued to make progress. And I learned to celebrate the progress or all the

ways I had succeeded each week. This past spring, we dove into maintenance, learning slowly what

works best for my body.

Liz was always there answering all of my questions as always, and I currently feel great where I'm at and what I've learned.

While I'm sad, our coaching time together is over.
