Testimonials
For Joyce Bennett, overcoming her lifelong battle with obesity was all about teamwork. After years of yo-yo dieting, she needed more than willpower and a diet plan. She needed moral support which she found and surrounded herself with - 24/7. It's code name -- Operation: Take Charge. "I asked around and found a good dietitian in the Atlanta area who started me on a low fat diet and scheduled weigh-ins twice a week," Joyce recalls. Friends in the office helped out by tailoring "happy hour" walks with Joyce every afternoon. Family members pitched in by pitching out all remnants of her old ways. Refrigerators and pantries were purged. The car got a thorough cleaning…no more discarded candy wrappers to remind her of bad habits. Even the chef at her neighborhood farmer's market joined the effort laughs Joyce. "I had grown accustomed to ending everyday with a visit to the nearby farmers market, well known for creative dishes made fresh daily. To avoid temptation, I took the market off my itinerary. A couple of weeks later I ran into the chef who understandably had missed me. I explained my dilemma and he offered to adjust his daily specials to accommodate my new diet," according to Joyce. The hardest time for Joyce, who lives alone, came in the evenings when her support systems weren't easily accessible. That's when she turned to her computer and found CaloriesCount.com. At night she used the CaloriesCount Enhanced Calorie Calculator to determine her calories consumed throughout the day and used the Online Food Diary to record them. These tools helped her stay focused. Having a resource around the clock helped Joyce to eventually shed 175 lbs. from her small 4'10" frame, moving from a size 3XXX to a size 8! "It has taken 18 months so far, and a lot of pep talks. Slow and steady, but I've learned healthier habits along the way to help me keep the weight off." The best part: a newfound self-confidence that allowed Joyce to pursue a career in counseling others with various forms of addiction. Read More Testimonials from CaloriesCount.com Members Join
