HER BEST ADVICE TO THOSE WHO WANT TO START?
“I simply followed the program and Dr. Pinto’s advice to achieve where I’m at now. I NEVER thought I would reach a point in my life where I exercise daily and have an entirely new healthy lifestyle. In the beginning, my goals were small - I just didn’t want my weight to impact my health any longer. I am happy to say that I have achieved that and so much more!”
HER BEST ADVICE TO THOSE WHO WANT TO START?
"Stick with it! You will have one bad week or even two. But keep your goal in mind. Surround yourself that want to see you succeed. Renee was that person for me. Never let me settle and kept pushing me to be the best me. Walking into that building and sitting down and analyzing everything you ate, weight, BMI, measurement etc. was so difficult but that was the hardest part. The entire firm was AMAZING! They made me feel extremely comfortable every time I walked in. Dr. Pinto even did virtual meets during the Pandemic to make sure I stayed on track. Through this process, I was able to change my lifestyle and eating."
