I started weight loss coaching with Melissa in January 2016 and in the first few months learned more about nutrition, fitness, and taking care of myself than I had ever imagined possible – and in less than a year I had lost 60 lbs! Working with Melissa gave me the tools I needed to be in control of my weight and my body, and feel proud of myself in the process.
Melissa’s coaching style and non-judgmental attitude helped me overcome fears and assumptions I had regarding weight loss, healthy eating, and exercise (especially running), so that I could achieve my goals.
Most importantly Melissa taught me how to make sustainable lifestyle changes and choices that allow me to manage my weight without ever feeling like I’m being deprived of something. Having Melissa’s expert guidance and support has made all of the difference for me, I’ve truly never been healthier or happier, and I never would have gotten here without her coaching me every step of the way!”

When I got married in 2016 I was at my lowest weight, 133 lbs. I was crash dieting, exercising incessantly, and taking diet pills. All very unhealthy practices. Once I stopped doing all of those things the weight crept back on. I felt bloated and gross, and really disliked myself. You were the catalyst of change for me.
The meal plan you created for me is delicious, easy, and helped me tremendously with portion control. Coming from an Italian family, there was no such thing!
I also learned that it is NOT the number on the scale that dictates how I should feel; instead, it’s my mindset. I now feel strong and healthy all around, even if I am not “skinny”. I’ve lost 15 lbs and feel wonderful. Even my mother, my harshest critic, says I look better now than I did for my wedding. Score!!

Eight weeks ago, I started my first meal plan, and I haven’t looked back since…The plans are easy to follow, the meals do not need a vast list of complicated ingredients. She has factored in your cheat meal during the week, which is amazing because you don’t have the guilt of ‘cheating’ the next day. You just carry on.
Finally, the stress and negativity of food have disappeared, and I have time on my hands. I have stopped searching for diet advice, stopped spending countless hours wondering what I should eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have stopped ordering numerous diet books. So many wasted hours.The best part is that Melissa and Kelsey are friendly and accessible to you. Your questions will always be answered. I plan to continue with my meal plans for as long as I can. I know will reach my goal and that I am good hands.
