Marcia’s Story – Ups and downs of losing the first 20 pounds

November 3rd, 2009

I  received an email this week that one of our members started a blog about her experiences.  We’ve been so thrilled to see Marcia’s progress on iChange and are very happy to see her talk about the experience publicly.  Take a look to see the struggles and successes she’s had so far.

Stuck at Home – Physical and Emotional Hurdles of Weight Gain

September 21st, 2009

We have been pleasantly surprised by the incredible response to iChange and the opportunity for our counselors to meet so many people  who struggle with both the emotional and physical pain of weight gain.  The pain is extreme for many of our members.  I’ve lost track of the number of times our counselors have told us about meeting a new iChange member who, due to her weight, simply does not want to leave home to go to the grocery store,  let alone visit a gym or a nutritionist.  We hope that our online counseling services can help all those people get started on a program from the privacy of home.  One of our goals is to help each individual, working from home with one of our nutritionists or dietitians, achieve a weight and a comfort level that makes it fun to leave the house again.
