I lost 21 pounds, and Lord knows I wouldn’t have done it without the program.” – Brenda Baxter • “I saw this program spark a lot of enthusiasm among staff. People made some really significant lifestyle changes.” – Deborah Dancz, Health Coach

  8. Testimonials, cont. • “I began to quit smoking about 2 months before the wellness program began, knowing exactly what it was doing to my body… I was still struggling, and then came along a great incentive where I could be rewarded for quitting both tangibly and physically and that gave me the willpower to quit and stay quit now for about 1-1/2 yrs. I now often ride my bike to work with all of the extra energy I have. I would highly recommend to all smokers, never quit quitting, you will be successful one day and benefit from not smoking all the way around.” – Kasandra Powlenko
