I started on this path when I had biometric numbers taken at a wellness event at work for a health incentive bonus. With the results I got, I was 281 lbs and it was apparent I needed to make some serious changes to my lifestyle and get my health back on track. Knowing Doug and his effort to be consistently healthy and sharing that with his clients, I decided to make that investment in myself. To work towards getting my biometric numbers back in line and just feeling better about myself. I hired Doug to be my guide and consulted with him on the areas I needed to work on and achieve my goals of being fit, staying that way, and hitting my target weight of 220 lbs on this 6’4” frame of mine.

We had our initial consultation and Doug made it very comfortable to open up about some very personal issues going on in my life and to explore how they were affecting my diet, exercise habits, and my environment.  Doug has held me accountable with my eating and exercise habits.  We have found exercises that work with my schedule and a diet that I am happy with and can get creative making meals rather than my usual choice of eating out and all the worst things I could possibly eat.  Doug has been supportive when I have gone off track and he has guided me back without making me feel guilty and letting me know that we all have our moments we go off course.

I am 3 months into my six month bi-weekly sessions with him and I am down to 250 lbs and feeling incredible about my accomplishment and generally feeling better!  My energy levels have jumped dramatically and I look forward to my daily walks at lunch time and the endorphin rush after.  Doug is consistently encouraging and pushing me to continue with my progress.  Slow and steady is the best way and that’s what I’m doing!

I have recommended him to friends, family and coworkers, where one coworker has hired him already after seeing my results so far.  Doug has us working with each other in an effort to push the other and hold each other accountable with a playful competitiveness.  Doug makes you feel good about your accomplishments and encourages you to push for those goals.  We have reevaluated some of my 6 month goals in an effort to push me as well as to maintain my new healthy lifestyle.

I have 3 months more to go and I really feel that with Doug’s encouragement and sessions, I am going to hit that goal of 220 lbs and have more confidence in myself!  I highly suggest you give him that chance to point you down that path to your goals and take that step for yourself!
