Counseling Client Success Stories

ELAINE: Frequent business traveler loses 65 lbs and keeps it off coast to coast

As a frequent traveler with constant change in routine, food choices and time zones, it was very difficult for Elaine to stick to any kind of strict diet or rigid menu plan.  That was where Roslyn’s personalized counseling program made the difference. 

Being out of the country did not mean that her healthy habits would come to a halt.  While traveling to Thailand, for example, Elaine continued to check in daily and maintain the connection with Roslyn. This helped her to stay on track and keep accountable while miles away from home. 

While many gain weight when traveling, with Roslyn’s guidance and support, Elaine managed to maintain good eating and lifestyle habits, not gain weight as a result and would even lose weight.

Elaine now enjoys being physically active in ways that she simply couldn’t at her heavier weight.  She enjoys the sense of control over her eating habits and being able to move and breathe with greater ease.  She has even joined a running group and can’t believe how much more physically fit she has become through all her efforts.

In Elaine’s words…

"No outlandish claims, no unrealistic promises. Roslyn Franken's approach to achieving a healthy weight is based on common sense and more importantly, a sense of control… I never felt hungry or deprived because Roslyn's program is NOT a diet. It's about eating and exercising in moderation, and seeing the inches melt away - nice and easy - for a real and permanent change."

JOE:  Avid golfer sheds over 20 lbs to go under the knife and improve his golf game

 Joe’s doctor recommended that he lose some weight prior to having his two knee replacements. Sounded like the right thing to do. Fortunately, his wife brought him to a speaking engagement being given by Roslyn Franken.  He then enrolled in her counseling program to see if what she said had any merit.  He’d been on a number of diet programs with little success.

 Joe learned that there are many reasons why people eat only one of which is hunger.  With Roslyn’s coaching, counseling and support, Joe has learned to think about why he makes the food choices he makes.  He has learned to look at what he is about to eat in terms of the nutritional value and to decide wisely on his portion size.  Along with these basic principles, Roslyn has also helped him to incorporate more physical activity into his routine.

In Joe’s words…

“Using these guidelines seems to have worked for me.  In two months, I’ve lost 20 pounds, have more energy, dropped 5 strokes from my golf game, and really feel much better.  The really nice thing about Rosyln’s program is that you can still eat regularly, you can still occasionally have ‘treats’, she knows we’re only human after all.   I don’t think that I’m on a diet, rather I’m just making conscious decisions on when, what and why I eat.  It’s that simple.  Thank you Roslyn!”

YOLISA: Chooses to face health issues head on  

Yolisa, age 42, was overweight and uncomfortable in her own skin.  Having nearly died after a diabetic coma, Yolisa decided that there is nothing more important to her now than her health and having a positive self-esteem. She no longer wanted to be controlled by food and wanted to love herself instead.  She recognized that if she didn’t actively work hard at her weight, she would lose her health and quality of life. 

Although she started out working with Roslyn feeling unsure of herself whether she could really create the positive changes she so desired, with Roslyn’s help and support, Yolisa’s determination to succeed quickly replaced the lack of faith she had felt in herself at first.  With every small success she was able to believe in herself more and more.

 In Yolisa’s words…

 “One of the greatest gifts I have received from Roslyn is the ability to notice and celebrate my successes.  Every small success brings me closer to my goal.  I have learned that what I put in my body is the most personal choice that I can make. 

Roslyn has taught me that the power of choice has the potential to change my life.  She has taught me to choose wisely.  Since starting to work with Roslyn and the principles found in The A List book, I am enjoying the journey toward a healthier, newer me.  Since I have been in control of my eating, I have experienced a greater sense of joy. 

Working with Roslyn has given me a great sense of inner peace.  I love the reflection in the mirror now because I know I am doing my best.  Seeing results is the icing on the cake.   I am so grateful for Roslyn and the principles found in The A List.”

GWEN:  Investing in your “self” in retirement

Gwen came to see Roslyn eager to shed the 25 pounds she had put on since her retirement.  One of the biggest challenges of leaving her routine desk job was adapting to new eating habits.  When she used to go to work each day, she would typically have breakfast, lunch and dinner at roughly the same times each day.  She planned her meals and stuck to a routine. When she retired, she suddenly found that the routine of work was taken away from her and she no longer had a routine set of activities to occupy her day. Spending more time at home she found herself eating at different times in the day, snacking more often and bringing foods into the house that weren’t there before.  By the time she had come to see Roslyn she was determined to shed the excess weight and rediscover her passion for life.  She wanted to get moving and feel better about herself and her body.

 In Gwen’s words…

"After my first consultation, I felt Roslyn was already helping me to put healthy living in perspective. It is about weight control and not about dieting. In fact it made me understand that it is all about ME!! From that point on, and with Roslyn's positive and quiet encouragement, I began to listen to myself and find where I wanted to be and not where others thought I should be. Only you can do the work that is needed to reach your life's goals. Roslyn helps you to find your way and do what you need to do for yourself, and it works!!!"

MARIE: Pregnancy causes healthy shift in attitudes toward food and inner self

Since she was a little girl, Marie has always battled with her weight and her relationship with food.  For the last 20 years, her goal, her obsession has been to lose weight.  She’s read most of the books, tried all the diets out there and went from success to failure to success and back again to failure.  She was on a never ending rollercoaster with her weight and with her health.  

She and her husband decided they wanted to start a family and she wanted to finally reach and maintain a healthy weight so she could have a healthy pregnancy.  She sought out the help and support of Roslyn Franken as she recognized that she needed the type of unique and different approach that Roslyn offers. After a month of working with Roslyn, Marie found out that she was already pregnant.  She continued working with Roslyn throughout her pregnancy and has finally created the positive changes in her relationship with food and her inner self to last a lifetime. 

In Marie’s words… 

“ Roslyn, with the help of her book: “The A List: 9 Guiding Principles for Healthy Eating and Positive Living”, has helped me go to the root of my problematic relationship with food…Her approach was very unique as I had to be in contact with her daily and had to report to her about every meal I consumed.  What I liked about her approach was that it was all about me.  Roslyn has helped me change my relationship with food and helped me change some of my attitudes that were not only affecting my nutrition but my relationship with work, with my friends and with my family.  Basically, she changed my life… She helped me remove a huge weight off my shoulders by giving me tools I needed to finally deal with one of my biggest monsters…my relationship with food.   Thank you Roslyn for all your help!
