"I learned to only eat when I am hungry, learned to count calories and how to keep a food diary. I really enjoyed the group talks, nutrition talks and seeing how hard everyone else was working. I learned what we believe in determines how we behave and both determine what we become. This class helped me believe I could lose the weight. Ive lost 8 pounds. I love to be able to wear fashionable clothes. I like the way I look in them." **Karen

"The most important thing I learned this past 6 weeks was endurance, motivation, watch what I eat and only eat when I’m hungry. Even though I’m usually a shy person, I really enjoyed class participation. I would love to have the class longer than 6 weeks and twice a week. I lost 10 pounds. Chantel really worked with us. The motivation and encouragement from her was great." **Dianne

"I learned that I should only eat when I am hungry and the portion is the key. I would love to attend a follow up class. I know that I lost 5lbs however; I do not know how many inches I lost. I have learned so much within these six weeks. I know that if I continue on this pace, I will see great results by the end of the summer. I will keep you posted. Thanks for everything Chantel." **Donita

"That it is not about a diet, but about portions and control.  I truly loved the spinning class. I know I have lost 5 lbs. ] By learning how to portion my foods and not eat just when I am hungry I have learned how to not overeat. Because of this, I have continued to lose weight. I was trying to lose weight by just watching what I ate.  I thought that just being aware was enough.  I would eat a salad and think I was eating healthy.  I did not realize the number of calories I was eating, mostly from the salad oil.  I learned that you have to look carefully at the calories. I actually lost some weight and some size.  I can wear some clothes that I could not wear before. I lost 10 pounds. The class was very helpful.  I had been trying to lose weight without counting calories, just by watching what I ate.  I learned what really makes a difference, and I actually lost weight." **Jerry

" I realized I need to control my weight – I am in charge of this – I also need to exercise for my life – to be in the best shape I can be so that I have a healthy life – no matter what the age. I really liked the way you combined the class session with handouts and notes along with a strong exercise program.  I am glad we had the time to learn about counting calories, learning new eating habits, getting rid of the bad habits, etc.  I love all the handouts you gave us – I especially liked the way you tied it in with the biblical background.  I liked that we did our “numbers” every night before we got started.  I kept track of mine every week so I could watch for improvement or not.  I loved having the notebook too – the different sections – I used my notebook quite a bit and am sure I will keep referring to it.  It is a handy tool to have."

"I think as a middle aged adult we need to be more conscious of our bodies.  We need to manage our weight and really think about what we are eating.  We need to take a better look at what is going into our bodies.  When we get to middle age, sometimes it is harder to get the weight off, to work with a slower metabolic rate and be better at planning what we are eating.  If we get conditioned to do this – even at a younger age it will make a difference in the later years.  But to me it is a health issue – not just about shedding a few pounds. I know to live a healthier life I need to be in better shape physically and to eat better – to make better food choices.  And that is what it is all about making better choices for our own life.  We are the only ones in charge of our life and we need to make the best choices out there.  Not sure on inches but 9-10 pounds. I still want to lose more but now I am motivated and on a roll to lose the rest of it. I feel better." ** LB
