Meet Our Team

In October 2012 at age 52, Donna lost 33 pounds and 3 dress sizes in 11 weeks! She had a total weight loss of 39 pounds and has easily maintained her new healthy weight.

I have always been active, but I’ve struggled to lose and maintain a healthy weight. Thanks to the Ideal You protocol, I have not only achieved my weight loss goal, but I have also learned how to maintain it. Recently, Donna presented me with an opportunity to become an Ideal You coach. Now I am excited to help motivate others to reach their own weight loss goals. With my personal experience, I’m ready to inspire others on their journeys to health and wellness.

In February of 2021, I joined The Ideal You as a dieter. My husband had talked to a neighbor who was successfully losing weight at The Ideal You, and he suggested that I join. He knew how much I was struggling to lose weight and thought that this program might work for me. So, reluctantly, I decided to give The Ideal You a try, and it was the best thing I ever did. Within one year, I reached my ideal weight, losing 90+ pounds and 84 inches! This was something I wasn’t able to do since I was in my 20’s – decades ago! I feel great and have so much energy. I was able to get off my prescription medications and feel better than I have in years.

After 10 years of being retired, I applied for the position of being a weight loss coach and was hired! I love being a coach. I know the struggles people go through to lose weight, and I wanted to help them though it all. The best part is watching our clients lose the weight and see their excitement. It’s fun to trade tips and recipes with them, too. They are an inspiration to help me stay on track! So, if I can do this, anyone can! You just have to give it a try.

In October of 2021, I joined the Ideal You as a client. It wasn’t just because I wanted to “lose a few pounds”, but because it was my doctor’s orders. My doctor had an open and honest conversation with me about my current health; sleep apnea, depression and bad knees that required yet another surgery. She recommended the program at The Ideal You as a way to help with all three of my health issues, and I am grateful every day. After successfully losing 60 pounds, I aspired to become a coach and share my story. I wanted to help others who found themselves where I had once been. My husband and I are active world travelers. Having the extra weight on my body limited my mobility and slowed us down on many of our trips. We are now traveling again, and I can honestly say that I like looking at pictures of myself, where before I would consciously choose to avoid photos!

As a coach, the most rewarding experience I have is seeing the client’s face when they have reached a milestone. It can be as simple as fitting into an old pair of pants, going down an entire belt size or just feeling better about themselves as a whole. The look of accomplishment and pride on their face is why I enjoy working for The Ideal You. My mantra: “Suavius cum difficultate” – Sweeter after difficulty.

Being overweight is something I have been battling my entire life! In my long life, I lost over 100 lbs. more than once. However, I always gained it back. On November 1, 2018, I started The Ideal You program weighing 245 lbs. After getting into ketosis, I realized I wasn’t craving food and wasn’t influenced by what others were eating. This weight loss program was so different from anything else I had ever tried and I knew I wanted to be a part of it (as a coach someday). After successfully losing 107.4 lbs., I got to my “ideal” weight on November 14, 2019. Since that date, I have lost an additional 10 lbs. I started working for The Ideal You in early December of 2019. Now, I’ve been at goal more than 3 years. I’ve learned that getting to goal is a goal, but staying at goal is the greater goal. This program gives its members the tools to get to and stay at goal. I now have the energy to keep up with my granddaughter, to ride all the rides with her at popular theme parks and to go for nice long walks. My doctors are very happy with my health, specifically with how good my cholesterol numbers are. I refused to take a statin before The Ideal You, and now I don’t need one!

It is so exciting to see clients at The Ideal You reach their goals. It is extremely gratifying to compare their pictures taken at their initial consultation to those taken the day they reach their ideal weight. Their beaming faces are so worth the effort and the work to get to goal. I am so blessed to be able to help others in their weight loss journey.

Personally, I can attest to the support, accountability, and motivation that The Ideal You provides when people need it most. As a result of discomfort with bloating, soreness, trouble breathing, and ultimately being sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, I turned to The Ideal You. With my commitment to what The Ideal You stands for, I lost 75 pounds, but more importantly, I am no longer on blood pressure or cholesterol medications and have become a happier me for myself and my family. And all of my new clothes were the icing on the cake!

Not only have I personally had success with the program, but as a weight loss coach, I take great pride in helping others become their best selves!

I am an energetic and friendly receptionist with experience providing administrative support and customer service to clients and internal staff. My goal is to always provide excellent customer service and build relationships with everyone I speak with on the phone and in person.

Amy is a proud mother of three and Mimi to three grandchildren. She is currently on her own wellness journey, which gives her a personal understanding of the challenges, victories, and commitment that come with making healthier changes. She is excited to be part of The Ideal You team and looks forward to encouraging and supporting others as they work toward becoming healthier, more confident versions of themselves.

After spending over 25 years working in the beauty industry, making other people the priority, my weight spiraled out of control. I was the queen of fad diets. Everything I tried worked temporarily, but I didn’t get the results. After a year on the Ideal You program, I lost over 135 pounds and continue to work toward my goal. This program has been a saving grace, and I tell everyone I can about it. I am lucky to be able to work at the front desk and to be a part of the West Seneca team. I really enjoy meeting people who have similar challenges and sharing my story with them. The best part is that all of us understand the struggle and are constantly encouraging each other to reach our goals! I look forward to meeting you soon!
