“I feel like the real me has come out of hiding!”
I’ve lost 25 lbs and some inches… I’m skipping around the room! I feel like the real me has come out of hiding. I have so much more confidence and energy! The most useful part of the program is all the tools for moving forward including understanding what to eat when you are hungry, which is basically everything. Perhaps a highlight for me is learning how to eat so the cravings are not there anymore – neither are the low-sugar slumps… so I have steady energy throughout the day!!!!
I have moved from eating whatever my body told me it wanted to what I now know is good for my body. I’ve learned about so many new powerful foods and ways to prepare them that enhance their nutrition. My body and soul are much more in harmony now……. and I never thought I could ever get my private stash of chocolate chips out of the house. That blows my mind!

“Today I weighed in at 113.8!”
The light is shining. A little over a year ago, months before I was on this program, I was postpartum and weighed more than my pregnancy weight, around 167. I knew I could not go on like this as I am 5’2″ and was heavy, uncomfortable, sluggish, and low energy.
In the months before I started the S.T.E.P.S Program® I took Miriam’s teleclass Sugar-Free and FABULOUS! (which really inspired me in a huge way) and then Nourishment of the Soul: Uncovering the Hidden Secrets to Permanent Weight-Loss and that led me to miraculously be a part of the S.T.E.P.S. Inner Circle.
I feel more comfortable in my weight today than I felt in high school! And not only that, I feel healthy in so many other areas in my life… soooo much better in such a real, solid way with confidence to maintain and continue. Thank you from the depths of my heart…

“This is a dream come true!”
The biggest momentum is every day people say, “You’ve lost weight, haven’t you?” Music to my ears, and it’s much more fun to keep good habits… I now have the ability to be present in the moment with gratitude for every moment of life with NO NEED to numb myself in any situation. This is a dream come true, and Miriam I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this Gift.
Yesterday I had a challenge and old reflex popped up to eat to numb and I just laughed at it and said, “You got to be kidding, I have treasures of ways of dealing with this, what does food have to do with you?! Boy, was it dismissed instantly! Kabbalah of Color was a jump-up of excitement! So much life in me that was dormant just came alive! Is this a sign of Geula (Age of Enlightenment) that we can burst out of black into living color?
If I had a “baggage” scale it would be like zero! Today I had absolutely no cravings and felt so calm.

“I wouldn’t dream of missing a training call”
This program is awesomely enlightening, and has helped me immensely… The modules blow me away, they go inside my Neshamah (Soul) and enable me to make a shift… I have never experienced weight-loss from the inside out. This new approach has definitely had a ripple effect in every area of my life.
I am amazed and thrilled by the wealth of knowledge that Miriam shares with us… Experiencing this program is enabling me to endure challenges in a much healthier way.

“I was in shock!”
I am so grateful for my weight loss (25 1/2 pounds). I’m at the point where even my clothes from my skinnier days are starting to not fit properly. I am at a weight that I never imagined. I walk around thinking I am so blessed. Hashem knew I was looking for the right tools. I asked Hashem to help me find those tools & boy does He listen!
I took out two beautiful dresses that I had in my closet & hardly had a chance to wear with the yo-yo weight, baby after baby stage. One was smaller than the other & I wore them both in my skinnier days & one I was swimming in & the other was also a bit big. I was in shock! So, off to the seamstress…
Thank you for my weight loss! Thank you for the knowledge of healthy foods. We were on our way to school, I was going through with my kids all the new healthy foods I learned; what they are, etc. I had a good laugh when they started to tell me Mommy, that seaweed you cook with… I had a good laugh! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to join the S.T.E.P.S. Community!

“I lost 71 pounds – and counting!”
WOW — what an amazing journey. Grateful for a colleague and good friend from the place I worked until last year, who took one look and said “half of you is gone!” As far as the testing — WOW! I think that has made ALL the difference for me. It wasn’t something I even worked at.
My work was directed not at “losing weight” but at finding and figuring out what to eat… I’m realizing that all kinds of twinges and pains that I used to just accept are really, truly just not there anymore. If I had to distill it into a very few words, they would be KNOWLEDGE and HOPE.
I shudder to think about the folks who read this stuff (in magazines, etc.), decide to make a change or two, and without any guidance or mentoring are just venturing into the unknown. I would DEFINITELY recommend this program!

“I weigh less today than I’ve weighed in over 15 years!”
It has meant so much to me lately that friends, family, and even complete strangers have told me how wonderful I look, how healthy my skin is, and how bright my eyes shine! This has been an immeasurable boost to my resolve to reach my goal that I set out with Miriam over 6-months ago.
I really believe that there is so much goodness posted in the S.T.E.P.S. Private Forum, that if I read and re-read this information over and over again for the next 10 years, I would still gain so much each and every time!

“The first program in 18 years to work for me.”
I am so grateful to have reached this far. I weighed 326 lbs. I rarely left the house and could barely take care of my three babies. Needless to say, I did not feel like a lamplighter or have the strength to be one. I played around with different diets and seemed to gain more with each one until the Dr. told me my tissues were so full of estrogen that my life was in danger. That scared me and I managed to lose 80 lbs. I did not gain back that weight but I never lost more.
I was in a prison of fat of my own making and that reflected not only my looks but how I walked, even how I thought. It even affected my Ruchniyus (spiritual connection) because I felt fat people were second class and I always hesitated to give a shiur (Jewish spiritual lecture) because, well, I wasn’t worth it. I was fat, overweight, obese. It dominated all my thoughts.
I received a compliment from a friend that moved me deeply, “You look wonderful…but while you were working on your external look, you have no idea how much you have worked on the inside as well. You are a better listener, softer, have more empathy, and are so much more helpful now.” I feel like a baby taking the first steps and discovering a whole new world.
No more guesswork but researched information, testing, and loads of tips, recipes, clear guidance on what to eat, where to get it, and mostly, what it does for my body. I highly recommend this program. I have probably tried every diet, from Weight Watchers, the Blood-Type Diet, NAET, Atkins, Suzanne Summers, 40-day drink fasts, the lemonade diet, reflexology, and acupuncture. I spent thousands of $… and never lost much. This is the first program in 18 years to work for me.

“…lost 13.5 pounds and 17 inches!”
I feel a big Ashreinu (very fortunate) to have stepped into this program. I feel much Hakaras Hatiov (gratitude). Nisei nisim (great miracles) are in these modules. Weight at the start was in the 160s. Probably crossed over the 165 mark at some point back there but had stopped looking at the scale. My energy level is definitely better now. A lot of personal growth stuff clicked at one time. I think the whole program is powerful. There is a lot of synergy. The growth modules, the calls, and the lectures are phenomenal. I was never sure I could lose “the weight”, let alone maintain it. I would definitely recommend this program!

“…now I look and feel absolutely wonderful!”
My weight when I started was about 138 lbs. and now I am ranging from around 124 – 128 lbs. I had very little energy and found it hard to be my most productive self. However, now I look and feel absolutely wonderful! My energy has drastically increased, and my skin has a glow to it that it never had before. I get comments from people all the time about how well I look.
Any health issues I had have either disappeared or improved drastically. I don’t think I can say what the most useful aspect of the program was because it all was so amazingly helpful and every aspect came together to help me in ways I could never have imagined! I have always been interested in health, but sometimes it is overwhelming where to turn and you have helped me sort through all that info and really understand what is important, and what pertains to me as an individual.
I have more of a comprehension of not just WHAT to eat, but WHY. Often eating healthy is so expensive, but you have helped give people who work with you the tools to not feel a slave to the expensive consumer market! I also appreciated the personal warmth, support, and encouragement you have given during my time with you and how you always find a delicious enjoyable solution for any part of the diet that wasn’t working for me! I also have greatly appreciated how you have infused the spiritual influence of Yiddishkeit and Chassidus in your program, and as a frum woman how easy you have made it to navigate through all the kashrus sheila’s and difficulties in terms of which products to buy, what items don’t need a hechsher (kosher symbol), and what is permissible on Pesach… Pesach was so much easier because of your Passover Survival Guide and the recipes are incredible! Lastly, you are so accessible for any questions or concerns I have had so I never felt alone in this incredible journey to health.
You have helped me to realize that being a healthy individual is multifaceted and involves working on the physical, emotional, and spiritual, and you have given me the tools to do so and for that, I am forever grateful. I would 100% (and already do) recommend you to family and friends who ask about what I have been doing to look so well right now!

“Cravings are no longer an issue for me!”
I’ve never received so many compliments! I’ve lost over 25 pounds! Cravings are no longer an issue for me! Miriam, you have not only my gratitude but also a deep respect for the way you weave this program in a way of seeing weight-loss as an essential and evolutionary part of my body/soul journey.

“I am at my lowest weight!”
I don’t know even how to thank you… I got my wish – I actually went to my closet, pulled something out, and it fit! I am at my lowest weight! My dream has been to be able to wear the nice things I have hanging and not to wait for a “thin” day – it feels so wonderful to zip it up! Your program has made me grow as a person in so many beautiful ways. I can’t help but gush when I talk about you and the S.T.E.P.S. People get infected when I start to talk about all that it encompasses. I know I am slow at integrating all the information, but I know it’s sinking in and I am beyond thankful!

“How fortunate we S.T.E.P.S. Sisters are!”
I weigh the lowest I have in years and I am finding it easier to have self-control! My weight is going down and I find I need less food. The program is complete, with a natural way of life plan combined with Torah and Chassidus (Kabbalah). How fortunate we S.T.E.P.S. Sisters are!
