Rebecca Dobrzynski Lost 62 Pounds and Found Permanent Freedom From Yo-Yo Dieting

Prior to working with the Powter Weight Loss Academy, I could safely say, like many of you listening, that I have tried almost every diet out there. I have tried Weight Watchers in person, Weight Watchers online. I have tried HCG, eaten 250 calories a day for over six weeks. I have done the cabbage soup diet. I had given myself injections. I have done intermittent fasting. I have done Noom. I found the Powter Weight Loss Academy through sheer luck. I had this upcoming event that I was really concerned about my appearance. I knew there would be a lot of pictures of this event and I wasn't pleased with where I was. And I said, what am I going to do to lose like, 20 pounds and next three weeks? So I was Googling things like "health coach," "macro coaches," et cetera, and Jennifer's website came up. What made me choose the Powter Weight Loss Academy was the combination of coaching and group discussions with a real meal plan where you're eating real food. I really trusted Jennifer, and the coaching that she was going to provide me and the fact that I wasn't having to cut out any food categories really spoke to me. What made me hesitate initially to begin is a lot of times when I went on a weight loss journey previously, I hid it from my husband. Imagine trying to hide from your family that you're only eating 250 calories a day. It's a pretty hard secret to hide. Imagine trying to hide that you're giving yourself stomach injections every day. And I didn't feel worthy of an investment in me just based on my track record. And so what I said to Jennifer is, I have gone about this the wrong way from the beginning, every single time. I want to start this the right way. And I could see that she would hold me accountable in a way that would work. What surprised me most about the Powter Weight Loss Academy is how little we talk about food. The first month you are, you're relearning what is the purpose of food in your life? How you should think about food. What is the amount of food that you need and why you need it. It's not about the food. It's the thing under the thing that triggers you to eat more, drink more than you need. The Powter Weight Loss Academy changed my view and mindset around my weight by saying I am more than just a number on the scale, and I have to define what makes me feel good about myself. So when I started the Weight Loss Academy, I was 222 pounds. I'm now 160 pounds. I've lost 62 pounds. I'm in weight maintenance. I trust myself around food. The Powter Weight Loss Academy has changed my life in a number of ways. Obviously, I feel greater in my skin. It's given me the courage to go back to the gym and seek out that part of my life. What's different about losing weight this time... I don't feel like there's an endpoint that I'm like, oh, if I just get to "this day" for "this wedding" then I can be normal again. Because this is my normal. I actually feel better than I've ever felt, stronger, more capable. I never question myself if it's going to last, because this is how I want to feel every day. For any of you that are on the fence about joining the Powter Weight Loss Academy, I can only tell you it completely changed my life and my relationship with food. And I would strongly encourage you to try it. This is it. This is really permanent weight loss. Jennifer, I am so glad I took that first call. We met by accident, but I know in my heart of hearts that we were meant to meet. You and Kelsey have changed my life. You've been there through the ups and downs of the year and given me tools to handle the ups and downs when we're no longer working together, which will be a hard day for me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Rebecca Dobrzynski, Libertyville, Illinois.
