• Sondra Landry "I really believe Two Sizes changed my life."

  At age 60 I saw this ad in the paper for Two Sizes Smaller. Enrolling was one of the best things I could have done for myself.  It was a nice chunk of change, but well worth every cent.  Five years ago I had not worked out since I was in my 30's.
  
  I vowed to myself to be a good student.  I listened to the trainers and the nutritionist, and without any reservations, followed their instructions.  I also went to the gym on days when I did not have classes.  I was strict regarding diet and nutrition. No excuses. The nutritionist was an expert from Pennington.  I was very faithful in keeping a food and exercise diary... which I did for three years after the course.
  
  I found I got out of this what I put into it.  I lost 16  1/2 pounds after the twelve weeks. I continued working out and lost a total of 25 lbs.  To this day, I work out 5 days a week. I really believe that this program changed my life because I put in 110% effort during these 12 weeks and beyond.  
  
  I found the trainers and nutritionist to be very professional.
  
  Once you join, join our 9 AM classes.  Aerobic and step on MW & F.  Pilates on T & Thurs.  Look me up.  I'd be glad to workout with you.

• Andrea Edwrads "I have kept within 10 pounds of my “new” weight, by continuing what I have learned in this LIFE-ALTERING PROGRAM."

  Things weren’t going so well for me back in 2006. I saw the ad in the paper for the Y’s “Two Sizes Smaller” 12-week weight loss/well-being program for women with two trainers and dietary counseling. I said ‘What do I have to lose?” Turns out: 60 Pounds!

  I did the class twice, as learning new habits is hard! Four years later, I have kept within 10 pounds of my “new” weight, by continuing what I have learned in this LIFE-ALTERING PROGRAM. I have made peace with food, and discovered a new body buried under that old one!

  What I lost (60 pounds) is far less important than what I gained. My cholesterol levels are those of a different body (267 to 177). I no longer suffer from a chronic cough (I was never a smoker). The heartburn is gone. My jeans are a SIZE 8 and I no longer wear “camouflage” clothing. Best of all, there’s a new love in my life! (He’s been around awhile, 47 years, but now we are dating!) Birthdays no longer faze me! I say “BRING IT!”

  Thank you, eternally, to the YMCA!
