)f them thought our pro-
gram couldn't help them. But now they
can see a dramatic change with their
weight loss," she continued, adding
that "We try and adjust their diet ac-
cording to their metabolism."
The key to an individual's weight
loss, believes Wendy, is the daily
counseling that each of her charges
receives. "While their dieting they're
learning behavior modification. When
they reach their projected goal for los-
ing weight, we guide them while
they're adding new foods to their diet.
We call it our maintenance program."
Her daily counseling sessions, six
days a week, may last only ten
minutes after the initial consultations
"These people are encouraged to eat.
except I try to plan a diet for them
where they know what they can eat
and how much of it. and they can still
go out and eat at restaurants."
Unlike many diet programs that
stress a lot of exercise, Wendy feels
that half an hour of daily exercise is
sufficient. "It doesn't have to be
anything of a heavy-duty nature," she
emphasized. "Bicycling, swimming,
or even walking will do the job, provid-
ed they follow their diet, which is for-
mutated for them on an individual
basis."
Wendy's dieters were unanimous in
their enthusiasm for her program.
Said Nancy Colbert, "I knew I was
much heavier than I should be, and I
was worried about my health. When I
saw Wendy's ad in the paper I decid-
ed to give it a try."
The results for Nancy were much
the same as for everyone else near-
ly 50 pounds lost since last May when
the center opened. The best thing
about it, she pointed out, was the fact
that, "It really wasn't a struggle to
lose the weight, because we could see
the changes everyday. And Wendy
helped us adjust our diet according to
our needs and whether anything
special was planned."
For Lane Donnelly, Wendy's
schedule succeeded where others had
failed. "This was like a last resort,"
she confided. "I've been in various
other programs like Weight Watchers,
along with trying my own diets, and

Ken Lowe are among two of thos who have found that what
you consume and how much may be the most important
ingredients of losing weight. (Photos by Malcolm Ater, Jr.)
while I did lose weight with all of them
I always ended up putting the weight
back 'on."
When asked why this particular pro-
gram worked for her, Lane laughed
and confessed that. "This program is
different because it costs money and
that's a commitment in itself. You
want to see results for your mney."
The goal for each individual is to
lose about three or four pounds a week.
"Wendy is a REAL motivating force,
and depending on how we did the day
before we either get a pep talk or a
chewing out," giggled Lane, who likes
the program so much that she now in-
tends to lose ten more pounds than
she originally planned.
Ken Lowe bad his own particular
goal in mind. Tipping the scales at 247
pounds in May, Ken wanted to slim
down to 2OO pounds by his 40th birth-
day, which was last Saturday. Despite
missing two weeks of the program
when he was on vacation ("I got in
trouble for that"), Ken got his birth-
day wish by weighing in at a trim 199
pounds, a celebration in itself. "You
have to eat to lose weight," he said of
the program. "I eat two fruits a day
/
and balance my meals because I don't
skip any."
Like many other people, Ken
remembers trying the popular notion
of starving one's self to lose weight. "I
was on the Stilhman's Water Diet and
lost 37 pounds, but I nearly killed
myself because I had nothing but
water and protein. All I wanted to do
• was sleep."
The results were far more satisfying
for Ken this time as he proudly pro-
claimed that, "I now feel 25 years
younger, and healthy as can be.
Maybe Wendy's program can help
you the way it's helped so many other
people. Certainly if you've ever
thought about losing weight, it's worth
the price of a phone call to Mar-
tinsburg to find out ff Wendy can help
you. Call her at 263-0390.
Maybe you'll be like Lane Donnelly
and say, "I really, truly feel like liv-
ing again."
