Goal

My main reason for joining WAG was to lose weight, without the prescription weight loss aids my doctor had offered. At the time, I was on prescription medications to manage issues including hypertension, anxiety, and migraines. I wanted to improve my overall health and hoped to be able to take fewer medications, rather than adding more.

I had created a habit of regular exercise over the last few years, and actively work on my mental health, too, but I knew nutrition was a critical piece of the wellness puzzle that I was missing.

Testimonial

I have lost about 20 lbs, and 18 inches. I have also gone from regularly taking five prescription medications to just two, and am hoping to reduce or stop one of those soon as well, with my doctor’s approval.

Right off the bat, something about WAG felt different to me, it felt right. I was matched with an amazing coach who is uplifting and encouraging, who empowers me to take an active role in the process and is genuinely invested in me. I trust my coach and I trust the process! I can see changes in my body, and count them on the scale and with a measuring tape, but nothing beats how much better I feel. I have more endurance in the gym and am hitting heavier lifts, even while cutting weight. I have more energy for my family and our busy schedule. I sleep better, my body recovers better. I generally just feel better in my skin.

Another huge positive of WAG is that no food is “off limits,” but can be properly balanced to fit my macros, and enjoyed with a healthy mindset. I feel empowered to choose foods that fuel my body, without feeling guilty over treats, which is much easier to sustain and gives me so much hope for a future of many healthy years ahead.
