Before long it became clear this would be so much more than weight reduction --my original goal-- but a sensible life-long program of maintaining good health after weight loss is achieved. From Day 1 when I started the program, in November 2019, through today, I have been guided by Copare's highly skilled health and wellness consultants (coaches), who counseled me routinely on my progress in attaining goals for weight loss and associated goals and benefits from improved nuitrition, activity level and health. Throughout the program, during weight loss and afterwards, as a graduate, my primary coach, Tay (Ms. Tselote Tamerat), has monitored other body metrics concerning the amount of fat around body organs, muscle and water weight, and bone density among other metrics. Only when everything was in balance for my age, height and weight was I able to progress to "graduate status" which for me occured after about three plus months. Statistics do not lie: weight loss was about 40 lbs with proportional changes in clothing sizes. This was really important to me because of age and lingering injuries I cannot perform intense sports such as running or core exercises. As a graduate, I have taken advantage of Copare's special program of continous coaching during periodic visits with my coach, Tay, who has supported me from the very beginning. As an aside, Copare goes beyond what one would expect, for example, to provide restaurant menu screening for best choices when out on the town and to share so many recipees for home use. i am very thankful to Copare and, especially, to Tay for the healthy results I achieved so quickly and am easily maintaining. While this program requires commitment, it is very doable. Weight loss can be maintained with the knowledge gained from the Copare program and the continuous support from caring and very skilled consultants While Tay has been my primary coach, I have had counseling by other equally skilled coaches in the Alexandria office. A special thanks to them including Maddie and Jane! Thank you Copare! read less
