Joan Lost 15 Pounds and Gained 2% Muscle Mass in One Year

Before I started working with Debra, I was over exercising, and I would do these very long, intense walks and thought I was doing good things. I think I was also undereating. I was avoiding carbs and not eating enough protein. And so learning to believe that less is more when it comes to exercise and actually more is more when you're consuming food were a couple of big changes for me that have been really helpful. Before I committed to working with Debra, I actually did one of her shorter programs. I liked her energy. I liked her personality that shone through in the videos and her attention to the fact that we might not all be in the prime of health, that we might have achy joints or bad knees. And so all of the extra tips that she would give on how to take care of yourself while you were exercising, that really sold me, and I found it doable. Before starting Flipping 50, I tried a lot of different programs. I'm a longtime Weight Watchers member from decades ago. More recently, I tried some other programs. And while I had success with them, what I also realized is they cost me lean muscle. Having a program that focused on building muscle made it much more appealing and much more doable as well. And I've been successful on the program. I think what surprised me most about Flipping 50 were the results that I've obtained and maintained. It's maintaining and sustaining a change that's really the challenge. And so, in a year, I was able to reduce my body fat by over 4%, I was able to add 2% muscle mass and drop over 15 pounds and keep them off. What I can do now that after working with Debra that was almost impossible to do beforehand was eat with enjoyment. Also a pleasant surprise is that in my 60s it has been possible to add muscle. There were a couple of things that had me hesitate in starting with Debra. One was the cost, and the second is I tend to be skeptical by nature. The cost is totally worth the investment that you have everything at home, you're not going to a gym, you're being guided by Debra. So it's very efficient from a time perspective. For anyone who's on the fence when it comes to working with Debra, I would encourage you to relax into and trust the process. Take it in small, bite-sized pieces. What Debra offers is very comprehensive. Joan Ermelbauer, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
