Weight Loss Success
Gratefulness and thankfulness for the new journey my life
is taking. I’m home a month now—lost about 8 more
pounds from eating and exercising regularly – “mindful”
and “boundaries” being two powerful new words
for me. GM set me on a ship I built myself with new knowledge
of myself, nutrition, food and exercise. Thank you!

I came to Green Mountain with a cane and crawled up and
down the stairs on hands and knees. By the 4th day I no longer
used my cane and was climbing stairs regularly. I still need
knee surgery. But Green Mountain gave me my health back. From
the first day I was given an individualized plan to deal with
my orthopedic problems and debilitated state. I stopped having
cravings and lost weight (26 pounds in 2 weeks) for the first
time in 20+ years. I also lost 12.5 inches. The Green Mountain
program of eating regularly to lose weight was the key for
me. The fitness staff was expert and knowledgeable about accommodations
I needed. I also made multiple friends I feel I will have
for a lifetime. Thank you Green Mountain for giving me a future.

Weight and movement have been a problem for me for 44 years.
I thought I had finally become an old woman. By the end of
2 weeks I was bouncing and smiling like the child I left behind.
The world has opened up to me again.

I ate healthy meals, exercised and lost weight and inches,
but the best part was feeling healthy again! The sensitive
and intelligent interaction of participants and staff was
cleansing and refreshing.

I would also like to tell you that since I was at Green Mountain
at Fox Run 2 years ago, I have lost about 50 pounds, and lost
3-4 clothing sizes (from a size 18 to a 12/14), and had a
breast reduction. The weight loss has almost totally alleviated
the severe arthritis I had in my feet from chronic lyme disease.
I walk 4-6 miles almost daily, I do Pilates at home, I belong
to a gym, I ride my bike, and I have taken golf lessons this
summer. I did two walks for charity this fall and raised $500
for the Boston University Scleroderma Research Fund and $250
for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. I turned 50 this year
and I feel 35!!! I could never have done all this without
the weight loss and breast reduction, and it is because of
"mindful eating" and a whole shift in the way I
think about how I spend my time...exercising. LynnAnn is still
in my head, talking about excuses and choices...wow, she was
good!
I am now 49 years old and look/feel 10 years younger! I have
maintained my 120 weight/ 5'6'' without dieting over all these
years. Like so many young college girls, I put on the "Freshman
20" pounds going from 120 to 140. By my junior year I
had blossomed to 152 pounds until I read about your program
in a magazine. Continued...
This August marks 11 years since I left Green Mountain. I
was there for four months. I have been wanting to write you
for a long time. I have lost 110 pounds and kept it off all
these years. I can't thank you enough.
Green Mountain changed my life! I kept losing and gaining
the same 50 pounds until I went to Green Mountain at Fox Run.
I have now kept off the 50 pounds for 12 years and I feel
great. Green Mountain teaches you a new way to think about
food and how to incorporate exercise in to your life. I used
to weigh 175 pounds and now I weigh 125. I was able to get
back to the 125 pound weight even through 2 pregnancies by
utilizing the Green Mountain philosophy on losing and maintaining
weight loss as well as their approach to healthy living. I
would recommend Green Mountain to any woman looking to get
control over their eating, any woman looking to lose weight
and keep it off PERMANENTLY, or to any woman who wants to
feel better about herself and her body!
I just wanted you to know that I began once again losing
weight in 2003. 40 pounds gone! I was with you in 2000 and
had maintained the weight loss achieved during my two weeks
there. However, I put my life on hold during my father's final
days. I have continued to use the lessons learned from you,
with emphasis on exercise, and it's doing the trick! I have
even managed to not gain weight during tax season! So, thank
you for all your efforts!
When I went to Green Mountain April 2003, I wanted to lose
weight for my son's wedding which was last weekend. I did
not achieve my total goal, but I lost 14 pounds, and it looked
and felt like more because of my workouts and strength training.
But more importantly, I felt good about myself and knew that
it was more than achieving a weight loss for a specific day.
I will keep going to the gym and working out and eating mindfully
and feeling good about myself.
I got home on Saturday and we all had Thanksgiving dinner
on Sunday... it was pretty nice, my kids did almost all of
the work (can't beat that!!!). I stayed at Green Mountain
for almost seven weeks and lost 25 pounds, gained a LOT of
strength and am feeling pretty cocky!
I am an alumni from the early days of Green Mountain. You
got me started in a life style change and I look forward to
returning again someday. Now I work out about 5 days a week
and work hard at keeping a 65lb weight loss in check. Thanks
so much.
Things are going well for me. I can't believe my whole new
attitude towards food. It's there if I want it and I usually
don't. I even have shortbread, butter tarts and gumdrop cookies
in my cupboards (the Christmas baking bug bit) and I am not
going crazy. Mindfully having one piece but only when I really
want it. I am starting 2003 carrying about 25 pounds less
weight around then when I met you all in September. It is
slow but so painless, I really can't believe it. I can count
the numbers of days on one hand when I haven't felt energized.
It used to be that I rarely had an energy filled day.
I want to thank you for a wonderful, life changing experience
at Green Mountain. I learned how to eat, what to eat, how
to exercise, and how to live a healthier life. I have truly
changed my way of facing each morning and am a happier, healthier
person. I walk 3 miles at least 5 days a week and have been
good about mindful eating. I feel great in my skin, and although
it is not about the scale, I have lost 25 pounds and am very
proud of myself. My shoes are looser, my rings are falling
off, my clothes are loose and I get compliments everyday about
how good I look. Thanks for helping me to face my 40's a lot
healthier.
