Success Stories

"Gave me a framework to be successful and offered excellent strategies."

There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe my experience with the UVM Weight Management Program. First and foremost, (of course!) was that the program worked. Seeing the pounds disappear one or two at a time was the best positive reinforcement I could have experienced. Finding out that I enjoyed exercising, and continue to make it an integral part of my life was a benefit I didn't expect. Discovering that portion size was something I could control (and needed to) has empowered me to continue to maintain my weight loss. The ever-positive contact with all of the people involved with the program was the major factor in my success.

Finding your program gave me hope that I could modify my behavior and learn new ways to take control of my weight management. In our initial screenings it was explained to us all that we were going to learn methods and techniques to change our daily behaviors through a combination of education and group interaction via the World Wide Web. I had heard it all before in many different forms and it all sounded too good to be true. I am writing this note to thank you for delivering exactly what you described in our meeting that day. With the help of your program I was able to lose 40 plus pounds which to date I am proud to say I have been able to keep off. I learned that I could eat anything I wanted as long as I understood what my actual intake was. I also learned that if I fell off the wagon I could get right back on and get started all over again. I will be forever grateful to you all for everything you did for me.
