"In January my 6 year old daughter was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes. Talk about a crash course in healthy eating! We have her diabetes under control with insulin but we have also made big changes in how and what our family eats. I just wanted you to know that participating in your Healthy Weight Class really gave me a great base for handling this major life change (also I've lost 10 lbs). Thank you so much!"

"I want to thank you and tell you how much I enjoyed the cooking class series. I’ve never really known how to take care of myself when it comes to preparing my meals and eating right, so this has really been an eye opening experience for me. I feel better both physically and mentally. I’ve already lost 5 pounds! Your advice, and the conversations we’ve had have truly helped me to change my life, and I want to know how grateful I am. I wish you the best of luck. Keep up the great work!"

"It was time. Several attempts before had failed, so I thought I could use a little help this time. Sharon's program was uplifting, always positive, always about moving forward and not losing focus of your goal. The difference was a never ending stream of tips, tricks and recipes that really changed the way I approached dieting. I re-learned how to enjoy food , became more aware of what and why I ate and integrated exercise in my daily routine. There were also many little changes like reducing the size of my dinner plate, being more aware of measurements and watching out for "phantom" calories. I've lost 30 lbs. and I have more energy and greater confidence. Thanks Sharon for helping make it happen THIS TIME!"

"I'm not sure where to begin since I last saw you other than to say that you changed my life! I still can't believe that it took you only a matter of minutes to figure out that I am gluten intolerant. That one thing turned my life around. All of the bad symptoms that I had been living with went away. I got my energy back, my headaches came with much less frequency, my stomach problems went away, I was no longer isolated in my house (and bathroom!) My hair stopped falling out and my skin felt great again. I began a new exercise program and got down to 134 lbs. I have seriously not had a piece of bread or pasta or a pastry of any kind since last January, NOT ONE PIECE!!! And what a difference it has made. I wish the weight had come off easier but I now know what it takes to accomplish that. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for me. I refer you all the time to all of my friends."

"Last year my doctor told me she would put me on a statin drug to lower my cholesterol if I couldn't get it reduced within 3 months. I just had my cholesterol checked last week, and it is down 58 points from last year, and her comment was "wow - excellent improvement!" It still needs to come down more, and hopefully I will continue to reduce my numbers with continued walking and watching what I eat! I am so happy I made the commitment to join the class last October!"

"My Company's Employee Culture Committee engaged Sharon to design and lead a 9-week Weight Management Program for interested employees. The comprehensive, information-packed program filled to capacity. Sharon engaged all participates, no matter what their individual goals, by teaching the relationship between food, exercise, weight and health; how to make better decisions about what and how much to eat; and how to incorporate physical exercise into your life. Sharon not only made the information interesting and provided practical tips for achieving your goals, she created an atmosphere of relaxed fun, camaraderie and support amongst participants which resulted in a full turn out each week. The results were astounding - the combined inches lost by participants was 45" and the total weight lost was 81 lbs! Participants continue to ask for a repeat performance!"

"When our Fire Department started a wellness program as Fire Chief I felt obligated to attend what I assumed would be the first of a boring series of lectures on nutrition. That was before I had met Sharon Lehrman the presenter. After the first presentation I and others who attended found ourselves not bored but instead anxiously waiting to hear the next. Can you imagine we were even talking about nutrition the next day!"

"As Medical Director of a medically supervised weight management clinic, I had the privilege of working with Sharon Lehrman for three years.

She was very knowledgeable, thorough in her work, well respected, and liked by both staff and clients. She has a unique capacity to grasp the needs of her clients. I can highly recommend Sharon to you without reservations."
