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.

You don’t have to feel restricted to see results! Understand your goals and trust the process with Planos Finishing up 6 months in the program. I have nothing but good things to say about Planos! I worked closely with coach Ceci and she is so knowledgeable and helpful. It was exactly what I needed to hold myself accountable and create a healthy relationship with food and fitness. Realizing that you can have a balance in life and not feel guilty for enjoying yourself or feel too restricted to succeed and see progress. It is truly a lifestyle change and I am so happy with what I have accomplished in 6 months. I look forward to continue applying what I’ve learned and seeing where it takes me.

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!

This was one of the best decisions for… This was one of the best decisions for me as an aspiring health coach. Andres is professional and genuinely intent on you reaching your goal. The program is excellent, the support is extensive, they're friendly and most of all I felt very comfortable being a part of the team. The coaching calls are second to none. They support you in every aspect of your journey leaving you empowered with positive mindset. You wont find this anywhere else. Thank you Andres and Team. I feel honored to have met you guys!

Great team Great team! Coaches are excellent, mine was Ceci and she always goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and to teach you how to combine food and get the most nutrient dense and delicious food while maintaining the calorie intake goals on track. 100% recommended!
