LifeSteps^® is the best cognitive-behavioral weight management program available today. The leader training course is evidence-based and gives you the skills needed to guide your clients to real change. I highly recommend it.

LifeSteps^® is one of the best weight management programs available! It integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies in a comprehensive program designed to help individuals make lifelong changes in eating and physical activity patterns. This program is a must for the health professional helping clients make lifestyle change.

"I have to say, this has been the most rewarding training I have ever experienced, both on a personal and professional level. I’m super excited to be able to bring this fabulous program to our community!"

My participants tell me that they have impressed their doctor with lower blood pressure and improved lipid panels. They love the fact that it's not a diet but rather a gradual change of habits, eating real food and moderate exercise. It's not about starving yourself or gimmicky fad diets. They love the program and the results so much that they encourage others to join a LifeSteps® group.

The course was very organized and well thought out. I enjoyed my experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this course.  It was well organized, the activities and readings were informative and useful, and the instructor modeling and support were fantastic! Thank you! It is a well-designed, fast-paced course.

Through teaching LifeSteps^® , I have seen firsthand how the program provides participants with the knowledge and skills to successfully manage their weight.  Countless graduates have thanked me for the opportunity to take LifeSteps^® and for the positive impact it has made in their health. At the completion of the program, our graduates express 100% satisfaction with the program and 100% report that they would recommend the program to family and friends.  The most exciting outcome is not only weight loss, but that over 99% of our graduates report confidence in their ability to maintain their healthy lifestyle changes long term.

Of all the weight management programs I have worked with, I think LifeSteps^® is the best.

We thoroughly enjoy teaching LifeSteps^® , and it has given us great opportunity to improve the health and weight of many in our organization and community!

I have had awesome success with this program and am a true believer in the way it is designed.  I am thankful for LifeSteps^® - it is a HUGE addition to my fitness center.

Getting out of a 'diet mentality' hasn't been easy.  I know 'dieting' works but it doesn’t stick.  Once you stop ‘dieting’ the weight returns.

The LifeSteps program will help anyone desiring and willing to make permanent changes.

For me Lifesteps has been an eye opener.  During LifeSteps I learned about calories, portion sizes, food choices and exercise but the program isn’t a diet or exercise program.  The once a week meetings helped keep me on track changing my thinking and habits about food.

LifeSteps has been very helpful for me.  I wish everyone needing to make healthier changes in their life knew about LifeSteps.

I have lost over 20 pounds at this point, with at least another 10 to go to ensure my BMI is in the normal range. At a recent check-up, my blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol levels were all soundly in the normal range.  I feel the best I have felt in 20 years. Now, I can fit into all those “small” clothes I have in my closet and look good in my bathing suit this summer!  LifeSteps^® has impacted my entire family. We now all wear Fitbits^® and we challenge each other with the number of steps. What I cook has changed dramatically – the food is nutritious. We enjoy treats and watch our serving sizes. We eat all foods in a very balanced way.  And as an added bonus, my grocery bill is actually lower!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. These last few weeks have been the most rewarding and gratifying days I've had in a long time. LifeSteps^® has given me my life back and the tools and knowledge to move forward in a much healthier way.

I still use everything I learned from LifeSteps^® every day. I lost 43 pounds and have weighed the same within 1 to 3 pounds since I took the course in 2008. The best part is I still feel so good physically, and I no longer need the medication I was taking.

The progressive method of adding just a little bit each week made it possible for me to see the program as “doable.” I didn’t become overwhelmed or discouraged.

Learning how to eat was a huge help. It jump-started my weight loss when hit a plateau and now here I am having lost 95 pounds. I am a whole new person and still going!  The group support was a big help! Just being able to tell the group about my struggles was helpful. Sometimes I would tell my friends and they just didn’t understand. But then would go to class and share a story and the group was right there with me.

The best part is the group support!

LifeSteps^® taught me to live and maintain a healthy lifestyle without feeling like I needed to diet. I lost weight and I can still eat anything I want. The important thing I learned is that I don't need to deprive myself, but make choices, control portions and be active instead.
