Profile x 4 + H2O + Healthy Living - 8.4 = Yippee!!

By Erin Stolle, Publisher/Editor - Macaroni Kid Alpharetta-Roswell-Milton August 2, 2021

Did I throw you off with my math equation? Okay, so it's not a real math equation, but it is an equation to how I'm feeling today. Today marks four weeks since I started my plan with Profile by Sanford in Alpharetta. Yep, 4 weeks and I am down 8.4 pounds. What?! 

Seriously, if you had asked me four weeks ago where I would be today, I could never have imagined this result. Maybe a few pounds, sure, but more than 8 pounds is mind-blowing and gets me about half way to my goal weight.

But, though seeing such a big change on the scale looks great, the way I'm feeling is even better. My clothes are most definitely looser. (Ahem, I don't feel like a sausage anymore stuffed into packaging that is a bit too tight.) My energy is up. I'm sleeping a whole heck of a lot better, and I just feel all-around healthier.

Isn't that what it's all about? Isn't that what we all hope for? I always knew it was possible, but lacked the discipline to change my habits and therefore change my body. Until my first meeting with my coach 4 weeks ago and she said one thing that has stuck with me. "You have to learn to be accountable to yourself."

No, wait. Isn't this what having a coach is all about? A person I can come check in with once a week, or more if I am really struggling. Someone who is cheering me on, but I know I'd feel embarrassed in front of if I mess up? Well, yes, that is part of it. But what I've really learned is that it all comes down to me. To realizing that I am worth healthier habits and can make the right choices, and I'm doing this for myself.

So, though I love going in each week and chatting with the team at Profile, celebrating my accomplishments and sharing tips and tricks on how to stay on track, I'm learning how to live healthy for my family and me.

A lot of folks have asked me about Profile, so here's some answers to their FAQs:

  1. How much is it? Just $99 for a year of unlimited coaching. But hurry! This price only lasts through April 2019!
  2. Do you have to buy their food? Well, I guess not, but it sure does help keep you on track. Plus, as a member, you get 20% off in their store, so it makes it super affordable! A couple shakes a day and some of their protein bars make perfect snacks. Plus, everything I have tried is delicious!
  3. Do I have to make two meals - one for me and one for my family? Nope. I cook one meal for everyone, and just make modifications to what I consume. Mostly it comes down to portion sizes and minimizing starches per my plan. So, if we're having chicken, rice and veggies for dinner, I'll stick to the chicken and a couple servings of veggies. 
  4. What about exercise? Well, the more you get, the better, but they help you understand what calories you burn depending on your activity level and create your plan to best fuel you.
  5. Will it work for me? Yup, I truly believe that if you give it your best effort, you will see (and feel) immediate results. But, don't take my word for it. Go on in for a FREE, no obligation consultation and see for yourself.
