Testimonials 

May of 2017 I started my health journey because I had reached my heaviest weight at 255 pounds. I was starting to have pain in my knees and back and I had just been prescribed daily meds for acid reflux. One day on our lunch break I asked Lars about his recent changes, and if he could coach me through this program he was having such success with. The program is easy to follow with lots of options. I loved the coaching calls and check ins that provided tons of information and encouragement. 5 months into my journey I was down 70 pounds. Now almost 5 years later, I'm still following the healthy habits I learned and have maintained my healthy weight at 175!!

I have struggled with my weight for the majority of my life. I was always larger than all of my friends as a kid and didn't always have the best self esteem due to being overweight. The last decade of my adult life has had it's fair share of ups and downs which has contributed to bouts of depression, grief and lack of self care. Fast forward to today now that I found Optavia, my focus, outlook and future have significantly changed. I became a client in July of 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic!! However, I began seeing positive changes and weight loss immediately, and was learning new things to help me control my mind and emotions in such a challenging year. At first it felt too good to be true, I had never seen these types of results before with any other thing I had tried previously! I had tried countless times before to improve my health with no change, but by the end of 2020 I had lost 50lbs! More importantly, I started to believe in myself again and was able to show up better for my daughter, family and friends. This program has given me hope, allowed me to break bad habits and create new ones that I now enjoy. I know had I not found and started this program, things would be a lot different. I was hesitant and scared to try yet another thing but I'm so thankful I got the courage to ask, my life as well as my children's lives will be forever changed!

I am now off all my medications, my body doesn't hurt anymore and my sizes keep getting smaller and smaller!! I feel great and this has been easy for me to do.
I have 50 pounds to go to my goal, with the success and support that I've had in these last 10 months, I know it's possible and that I can do it!! Thank you Kym for introducing me to Optavia!! 

When you know better, you do better. Before I began my journey with Optavia, I had a very active lifestyle, but I did not exercise much self-control when it came to eating. In my 20s, I had been trained by a bodybuilding/ fitness expert, so I knew what to do, but over time, I develop some habits  that led to an unhealthy mindset, like: “I can eat what I want, and just workout a bit longer in the gym the next day. As I got closer to age 50, that mindset began to backfire. I gained 40 unwanted pounds. Thanks to OPTAVIA,  I realize that structure, accountability, education and solid nutrition is key to longterm success! I don’t want to go back to the way things were before my health journey. I’m excited to continue to leveling up to ultra health and share, with others, the valuable tools that I have acquired on my journey with Optavia.

My biggest regret is that I didn’t choose health earlier in life . I had every excuse in the book, “not enough time”, “I’ll start tomorrow”, “I look great” (even though I felt like poo), “I’m an athlete”, “I’ll figure it out”. I lied to myself for years until enough was enough. I wish I had been honest with myself, but I’m glad I FINALLY stopped blaming my circumstances and took personal responsibility 7 years ago . 

The picture on the right is from today . I’m feeling great and have learned so many amazing habits that have created the healthy life I’ve always wanted. The pounds coming off is a bonus, but the real win is in my self-confidence, my new habits, and living in a state of intentionality about how my actions control my outcomes . 

If you’re thinking of making changes in your life, DO IT NOW. Life is too short to wait and you deserve to live the best life possible

​ I started making changes after multiple surgeries & not being able to keep up with the working out/meals that I had done before school started. (I’m a mom of teenagers & a teacher) A friend reached out & I decided there was no better time to focus on my health. Changing my nutrition habits came 1st! I wanted to be healthy but maintain my weight. I’ve only just started truly getting back into working out again. In 4 months, the transformation is crazy & most importantly, I feel amazing with so much more energy. I didn’t like that person on the left. I’ve spent months getting back to my health, learning about nutrition & getting back into fitness!

​How can one yes change the rest of your life? Let me explain!!!

I've done the diets, counted the calories, taken the pills, and tried just about every fad out there.

But this time was different. Because now I know it has far less to do with eating the food and far more to do with WHY I'm eating the food. This time I had health coaches. People who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself.

This time I lost 155 pounds in 15 months. I have so much energy. I feel like a completely different, better person. I can lead worship, jumping around on stage, without fear of losing my breath or missing my note. I can actually focus on worshipping and not on me.

Everything is different because I said yes one more time.
