*Average weight loss on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan® is 12 pounds. Clients are in weight loss, on average, for 12 weeks.
I'm an independent OPTAVIA Coach. Here is my story:
Together we released a combined 90 pounds: Jeff lost 50 pounds and Melissa lost 5 dress sizes (14 to 6). Along the way we discovered a passion to help others achieve the best version of themselves. FAMILY LIFE: Navy veterans - Five adult children - Five grandchildren - Two dogs: Bentley & Bella. COACHING LIFE: Guiding others to become the heroes and heroines of their own health journeys. HEALTHY LIFE: Broke the cycle of preventable disease and early death - Started new healthy habits and getting a little better every day - Want to live as long as possible with our family. We believe most people desire to break the cycle of unhealthy habits leading to disease for their families and friends given the opportunity. We only get one life - let's make it a healthy one.
