When I came to Melanie Brooks (aka, The Diet Lady), I thought a healthy diet meant eating salad all day every day. I was afraid I'd never lose weight, but Melanie sat me down, listened to what I needed, wrote down what foods I liked (hint: I wasn't much of a veggie lover!), and made me an easy-to-follow meal plan that was delicious. She never allowed me to get bored with the food, giving me lots of options and teaching me things like weighing out my foods, way to substitute healthier options for traditional favorites, and learning to love cooking. I'm down 42lbs now after six month of working with her and while I want to go faster, I'm just glad it's finally HAPPENING!!!!!
I've tried working with personal trainers from gyms but there's a HUGE difference with a registered dietitian. I love this lady, she gave me my life back. I've recently started trying to jog and, while it's such a small thing, I'm able to do it without my knees giving out and....I'm just so happy. Thank you!!!!! read more
