So Appreciative of all of the assistance I am a Wife of 23 years, a mother of two adult children, 37 and 32 and Grandmother to 5, ages 5-8 and, I am a Director of Programs (Non-Residential) for the Arc of Davidson County, Inc, a company that advocates and cares for individuals with developmental disabilities. I have largely dedicated my adult life to caring for others, my husband, my children, my job, anything but myself. As a woman, we fall into that trap. Historically, self-care has been seen as selfish and caring for others has been seen as selfless. Selflessness being the preferred option. I looked at myself January 2, 2023, I weighed 303 lbs., my highest weight yet. I lived my life sitting in my recliner. I typically got up, worked the day cooked supper, and landed in the recliner until bedtime and got up to do it again. The trip to the grocery store was exhausting. I am 5’8” but that is still very heavy. I have 5 grandchildren. I would watch them out the window when they came to visit, I couldn’t go outside to play with them. I just didn’t have the energy. I had the desire. I lived what I thought to be a very sad life. I was depressed. Who wouldn’t be? I made the decision to do something! I started counting my calories. It was hard but I had lost about 10 lbs. in a month. I connected with Andres Ayesta on Instagram and he and I began talking in the chat. He began telling me about the Planos program and asking me about my life. What he was telling me made sense. I signed on the end of February and connected with my coach shortly after. She has been nothing short of a Godsend. I cannot say enough good things about Ceci. Part friend, part mentor, part coach and I am sure she could kick my butt if I needed it. I want this so badly that I don’t believe she will ever need to do it. I have lost nearly 50 lbs. I feel better. I am more active than I have been in decades. I have signed up for and completed a 5k (now I walk 3 miles almost daily uphill on my treadmill). I have been attending t-ball games for my grandchildren and getting ready to go to a dance recital for a granddaughter and these events do not do me in for the day. I still have energy to do my regular everyday activities. I am somewhere between 1/3 and ½ way to goal. The goal is fluid as I don’t know where my body will land. I am leaving that to my body. I will find a comfortable healthy weight. If I hadn’t acted, I would either still be in that awful depressing chair right now or worse. Love yourself enough to take care of yourself. Allow yourself the help to get to your goals. Planos, and especially Ceci, have been invaluable in this health journey. It’s not just weight loss. It is the whole person. I have learned boundaries; self-care is not selfish among many other valuable things. Planos takes a holistic approach to health.

Planos takes all aspects of your life… Planos takes all aspects of your life into account, not just nutrition. You get an education and hands on coaching plus materials I haven’t even touched yet! They have monthly challenges, group discussions, online trainings, and one on one coaching at a very reasonable investment. The apps they use are easy and helpful. For me personally, the results have been fantastic! I have always struggled with losing weight - but more importantly, keeping it off. For over 25 years, I have tried and failed to get below the weight I was 25 years ago. Andreas and Ceci changed the way I think about eating. I have not only lost weight and kept it off, I am also more energetic and focused. It has made me more confident in other areas of my life as well. I can’t say enough positives about the Planos process and would recommend them to anyone who is struggling to lose weight and keep it off - and are serious about making the changes they need in their lives. And I’m not talking about any FAD diet, Pills, Keto, Vegan, whatever - you can still eat what you like, Planos helps you change the way you think about food - and your overall well being!

Excellent coaches I signed up with Planos because I needed my diet and exercise regimen fine tuned and tweaked. Planos coaches take a wholistic approach to wellness. Not just fitness and diet. They've gone above and beyond my expectations.

I was skeptical going in I was skeptical going in. Wasn't really sure I could make the necessary changes. For the first few weeks, I was still a little resistant, trying to do things the way I'd always done them. By the end of the 6 weeks though, I had made some key small steps in the right direction and felt more motivated than I have in a long while. I went back to the basics and Coach Andres was very helpful all along the way. I love how the program is setup: the detailed check-ins, feedback, and the holistic approach where they target your mindset, movement, stress, sleep patterns, etc. I also love that it's not a quick approach to weight loss.....while I only lost a couple pounds, I know that I gained several good habits (lower caffeine intake, higher water intake, not skipping breakfast, acknowledging small wins, tracking my higher protein breakfast...) for moving forward this week and beyond. Thanks Planos!

100% recommend Planos for your… 100% recommend Planos for your nutrition and lifestyle goals. The team at Planos we fantastic throughout my programme and I am very grateful to them for their personalised approach. We firstly assessed my goals which included learning more about nutrition so I could better prioritise my health. And I also had aesthetic and performance goals which varied along my 6 month programme according to life events and athletic pursuits. My coach adapted my plans to help me meet my mini-goals which arose over the 6 months and always kept me informed about the reasons for certain changes. This meant I learnt new skills and knowledge about nutrition which I feel confident to use after the programme to support me with my future lifestyle and goals. I also really enjoyed the progress of having a coach who was not only knowledgeable but kind and great to catch-up with. A really great experience which I think would be suitable for all kinds of people who want to meet all kinds of different goals including weight loss, body composition change, health and performance-related improvements.
