How Diana Shed 45 pounds at 59 years old!

/

Last week I interviewed a client that lost 45 pounds in 8 months from eating optimally.  Today, I’m delighted to share my interview with her – Diana, from Southern California. 

She’s 59 and learned how to eat optimally based on her goals, tastebuds, and lifestyle from me, Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes.  Which is amazing because before eating optimally and working with me Diana felt…

  • Hopeless.  She’d reached her highest weight ever before hiring me.

  • Confused from all of the contradictory nutrition information and struggled with unsustainable diets.

  • That she had to accept that she was going to be overweight for the rest of her life although she didn’t want to.  She’d been stuck not being able to keep weight off for the last 7-8 years.

Plus, she was in a lot of pain, couldn’t walk up and down the stairs and was losing her balance which scared her.

Does this sound familiar to you too?

If so, watch my interview with Diana below.  She shares all the diets she tried before she learned how to lose weight from eating optimally (and yay no counting, measuring, weighing or products to buy!).

She’s down 45 pounds (from EATING!), eliminated her heartburn, has a lot more energy, is working out again and avoided needing a CPAP machine.  Here’s her weight loss chart.  Isn’t it awesome!?…

Diana says…

“I feel probably the best I’ve felt in years. I feel good about the food that I’m eating. I feel good about what I’m putting into my body. It’s nice, and I’m learning how to cook different things and different foods I hadn’t thought of and I’m finding, oh, that’s really good!”

I’m SO proud of her because she was so nervous in the beginning but she signed up anyway.  She took action for herself amongst the fear and I’m SO glad she did because look at what she’s accomplished!

Diana is a great reminder that you can do hard things that help you!

How Colleen Lost 50 Pounds and Improved Her Myasthenia Gravis with Optimal Eating

/

Colleen Halverson was days away from going to the doctor to ask for anti-depressants.  She was so down about her health, her weight and how she was feeling physically and emotionally.  Colleen has Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disorder and after years of steroids, she couldn’t lose weight for the last two years.  She was 67 at this time and was running out of hope.  Until one day…

She saw an ad on Facebook from me, Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes about how to Shed Pounds Sustainably even if you have an additional diagnosis or can’t exercise.  I’m so glad Colleen clicked that ad, watched my one-hour webinar and then signed up to chat with me to see if/how I could potentially help her.

After that call, she felt hopeful she could turn her health around and despite never having invested in herself significantly before, she hired me as her Nutritionist and I am beyond thrilled to share Colleen’s incredibly inspiring health success in my interview with her today.

Here’s a sneak peak of what Colleen accomplished eating optimally and without counting calories, measuring or weighing food or buying diet products…

Colleen is officially down 50 pounds AND reduced the amount of prednisone she needs for her autoimmune disease! (here’s her actual weight loss chart!)...


And that’s just the beginning of what she accomplished.  

Watch my full video with the amazing Colleen below about her results and experience sustainably losing 50 pounds by EATING tons of optimal food she enjoys

Here’s everything Colleen accomplished eating optimally during our time together…

  • Lost 52 lbs in 7 months amongst having an autoimmune disease

  • Reduced her prednisone to <10mg/day so is experiencing fewer side effects!

  • Is 2 lbs away from the weight that she was 9 years ago! 

  • Feels better everyday. Not tired or weak

  • No longer leaves the table hungry and feels satiated

  • No longer feels sluggish after eating or has regrets after she eats 

  • Is walking more, doing strength training and is more productive

  • Improved her emotional state. She is more confident, proud, and less depressed.

  • Renewed interest in her hobbies. She is working on her sewing projects again and can work on multiple projects at once.

    To quote Colleen…

“I see a difference in not just my overall look, my shape, and my body. I feel a difference inside.  Know that you’re worth the investment. I had to realize I was worth doing this for.” 

I’m so glad she did.

She came to see that investing in her health was not only necessary but invaluable. She’ll have and use the skills she learned in the program for the rest of her life. That’s what an effective lifestyle change is all about.

How Merry Lost Weight in a Healthy Way (and Kept it Off!) at 76 Years Old

/

Merry and I chatted for the first time a year and half ago.  She came to me at a time in her life where nothing was working for her to lose weight. The scale wouldn’t budge despite her efforts.

She felt depressed, defeated, and was feeling very down about herself. She felt hopeless about the future of her health and her quality of life. 

She saw me, Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes on Facebook and decided to book a consult call to see if/how I could potentially help you.  She resonated with my therapeutic approach to shedding pounds sustainably with Optimal Eating.  Yes – eating!  No counting, measuring or weighing and definitely no pills, products or shots to buy.   

She thought “this is going to be it. This is going to be the program that will help me get back to the way that I used to feel and like.”

So, Merry hired me as her Nutritionist and after a year and 7 months of working with Nutritionist Trisha Mandes, look at what Merry achieved at 76 years old!...

  • Ate optimally AND Shed Pounds Sustainably for 1 year and 7 months! Yay MAINATINABLE weight loss!  She got the scale moving again after it not budging! 

  • Lost 15 lbs in her first 10 weeks of eating optimally

  • Maintained 28 lbs of weight loss over a year and a half

  • Feels mentally invigorated by the program and being able to lose weight

  • Maintained weight loss while being a mom, wife, and running her own business

  • Overcame life obstacles and challenges while not regaining weight (family in the hospital she was taking care of)

  • Ate a consistent 3-4 meals a day and isn’t hungry or pushing the plate away!

  • Enjoys the food she’s eating - especially the daily desserts! 

  • Feels comfortable after improved lab work to now ask her Dr to reduce medications

  • Reduced BMI by 7 columns 

  • Felt supported by Trisha’s group client calls, team environment, and weekly 1:1 sessions with Trisha

Watch my full video interview with Merry below.  She shares her experience Shedding Pounds Sustainably and getting her life back by EATING in her own words.  She’s truly inspiring.

To quote Merry…

“I was at a low point and thought I was going to be like this for the rest of my life. If you have enough strength and can still do things – don’t give up. This might be the one thing that can bring your depression down and make you feel good about yourself again.  It did for me.”

How Elizabeth Lost Weight Sustainably With a Thyroid Diagnosis at 60 Years Old

/

Elizabeth Dykes and I first spoke when she was recovering from an ankle surgery and hadn’t been able to walk for four months. She has a thyroid diagnosis that made weight loss almost impossible, especially at 60 years old and that’s what she wanted to help herself – to shed pounds sustainably.

She had tried keto, paleo, and Weight Watchers with NO improvement on the scale.  

She also had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and was in constant physical pain. 

She was fearful that the health conditions that run in her family were going to eventually affect her.  She was beginning to feel hopeless. 

So, she did something that changed everything... she hired me, Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes, MPHN, to shed pounds sustainably and turn her health around with Optimal Eating. 

After just 11 weeks of working with Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes DURING the holiday season Elizabeth…

  • Lost 21 pounds in 10.5 weeks – more weight than she thought she’d lose because of her Thyroid diagnosis!

  • In just two weeks she could walk down the stairs normally again from reducing inflammation! No pain, no struggle! In just two weeks! 

  • Doesn’t have ankle pain getting out of the car anymore! It went from a 5/10 in pain to a 1/10 in just two weeks!

  • Isn’t limping anymore!

  • Started walking again within 2 weeks of eating optimally.

  • Balance is back and she can do balance exercises for up to 30 seconds now instead of 5 seconds.

  • Is down almost 2 pant sizes while still eating food that she loves! 

What an amazing and inspiring woman!  

Click the video below to watch my personal interview with Elizabeth.  You’ll leave it feeling hopeful and inspired.

To quote Elizabeth…

“Im 100% glad that I did this. I feel so much better in my own body and I'm capable of doing more than I could before. I feel younger.”

I’m so proud of Elizabeth and it was truly an honor being by her side as she Shed Pounds Sustainably eating yummy foods she loves!
