Since I’ve been attending Inches-Weigh, I feel like I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.  I wanted to lose weight and keep it off, and now I know that I can do it.  I am an introvert by nature, but when I started attending Inches-A-Weigh I began to feel more and more confident about myself.  I used to go along with the crowd just so I wouldn’t be noticed.  Now I have a strong sense of independence to do what I want to do because I want to do it.  I don’t feel like I have to follow after anyone anymore, but I can be my own person. 

The ladies at the center and the staff all helped me to feel good about the way I look and about my progress.  I love the atmosphere and the women only centers!  All the women clients and staff are very friendly and supportive.

I’ve tried so many diets over the past 30 years, but I was determined to lose weight and keep it off.  Inches-A-Weigh has given me the determination I need along with the support to keep reaching my goals.   Just the support at IAW is enough to motivate me, but the results help too!  When I go to work, people are constantly telling me how great I look.  I am very confident about my appearance, and it feels great to be noticed in a positive way by my peers. 

My life is so much better today.  People look at overweight people differently and it makes me feel good to know that I'm not being stared at and I am much more confident and I have more energy.  Until I joined IAW, I didn't know I could enjoy exercise!  Now, I love it!
