One of our members sent us a very nice note last week comparing iChange to a new fad diet:

“I need to tell you how grateful I am for all of you and what you’re doing. Here’s why I really realized it tonight. We were at church and just before the service started I visited the ladies’ room. There were two other women in there talking to each other. One was telling her friend how she was trying to lose weight. For the past ten days she had eaten only beef jerkey and Red Bull. She lost ten pounds in a week, but on Friday she passed out at work, fell over and knocked her head. The others at work revived her made her eat something. She was complaining about how it had ruined everything she had been doing. I wanted to fall to my knees and thank God for you. Thank you for helping me so I don’t have to try to live on Red Bull and beef jerkey. I’m grateful for you.”

Please, please, please take care of your health before all else.   Our nutritionists are pretty consistent in the message that anything over 2-3 pounds per week is probably too much.
