“Excellent presentation. I was hemming and hawing over purchasing this series—let the early bird discount go by—still hemming and hawing—then decided I needed it so enrolled at full price. And I am glad I did. This info is really motivating me to get right with my eating and to get myself down to a trim weight—which unfortunately ballooned up during the 3 years of Covid. The presentation really hits home as to what will happen if I don’t change my ways.” – Sharon L.
