"It seemed that for every year of academic work, I'd gained one pound. Now I was looking toward the future, and the importance of remaining active and flexible for the next 30 years.

My big concern was: Is it possible for a 50-something woman, in an inactive profession, to lose that much weight -- before losing her motivation?

Yes.

In the weeks Brian has worked with me, I can see myself shedding pounds, gaining more muscle and more energy, and as an unexpected bonus, reaching better focus and concentration in my work.

Brian is an outstanding, well-informed teacher. He delivers the right information when I'm ready for it; he motivates and inspires confidence.

I am learning to feel and understand my own body -- an even bigger gain than losing weight."
