Jean’s Story
“Finding Coach Gayle and my WhyPower made my transformative health journey possible. She helped me believe in my ability to succeed.”
— Jean C.
Partnering with Coach Gayle, Jean has lost an incredible 143 pounds and has kept it off for more than five years!
Jean came to Coach Gayle after trying many diets. She would lose a few pounds and then regain them plus a few more. Jean felt stuck and out-of-control around food and had a lifestyle that was mostly sedentary.
Making slow, sustainable changes to her mindset and finding movement practices that she tolerated (then later come to love), Jean made peace with food and her body to transform her life. Jean now feels hopeful, confident, and in-charge of her health and life again.
