I must say that this is unlike any other attempt at weight loss that I have tried. I enjoy my new healthy way of eating. I don’t miss all the bread and rice that I used to enjoy. For me, trying Transitions was not about losing a significant amount of weight, but more about eating healthier meals, and cutting out the unhealthy products that I used to crave. I love how I feel. I am not as tired and sluggish as I used to be; and I’m a lot happier at work (AMEN!)  

I still have a long way to go, because this program is not just about changing your eating habits, but also about total lifestyle change, which includes exercise. The first 6 weeks was great for me, as far as weight loss.  I lost a total of 5 1bs, 1.5 inches from my waist, about 1 inch from my bust and 1.5 inches from my stomach.  Now, I am continuing the good eating, but also working more on physical exercise. I hope to see a bigger change in the next 4-5 weeks; and am looking forward to the results.

Sylvia, how you feel since completing the Transitions Program? I feel much lighter, much more energized, eating habits have changed for the better.

What new dietary changes you made? I continued following the Transitions Booklet after the 6 week class, I look for ways to calm my cravings and what other solutions I can take to avoid junk food.

Tell us about your new feelings about exercise or new changes you made to your exercise regimine? Since I started Transitions I started working 6 days a week and feel great! I have seen the difference in my clothes, specially the ones that did not fit before the program, I have been able to fit most of them back and I look great, feel great with much more confidence.

How are your clothes fitting? I was a size 12-14 and now since I lost inches off my legs and waist, and with my regular exercise regiment, I am able to wear some of my size 10 clothes (pants, skirts Capri-pants, most of my summer clothes)

How you feel about the program overall? I feel that it gave me confidence to better myself, I look at the before pictures which I have on my dresser and I look at the mirror now and I love what I see. I think everyone should try this program, everyone is so helpful at Transitions, and you don’t feel that you are doing it alone; everyone is there to help you through it and guide you all the way. I loved our meetings because you learned something new from watching the videos and the group exercise was excellent.

Would you do it again and would you recommend it to a friend? Absolutely I would recommend to all my friends! I am trying to get a couple of people I met at the gym to get involved and try the program. I feel that I was very much cared for during my time in the program, they guided me through, sent weekly e-mails, they were constantly in touch with us and they were always available when we had questions. I am very happy that I started Transitions because it changed my way of life and it gave me a boast of much needed confidence.
