Look at what others are saying about this program!

Dr. Pete Coon, PhD Forensic Pathologist "As a health care professional and research scientist, I'm well aware of the extreme health issues in our society resulting from both poor nutritional choices and daily stress. The UBM program has been a God-send in helping people come to grips with deep emotional factions, as well as recognizing the role nutrition plays in mental health and every area of wellness and performance."		Hugh Roomes  LOST 220 LBS  "I lost 35 lbs in 30 days and an amazing 110 lbs in 6 months on Suddenly Slim. Then, I started using the Ultimate Body Makeover Coaching Program in conjunction with Suddenly Slim, and I lost a total of 220 lbs in only 18 months. The UBM program helped me to finally discover the root issues that were the cause of my yo-yo dieting throughout my life.”
Denise Gerrich  LOST 181 LBS IN 18 MONTHS “The Ultimate Body Makeover not only changed my life, but it SAVED my life. Eighteen months ago I weighed 330 lbs and was told by my doctor that I had approximately one year to live. I was hopeless and having tried every diet in the book, I was convinced that CHANGE for me was simply NOT possible. This program enabled me to not only lose 181 lbs in 18 months, but I did so WITHOUT going to a gym.  I eat 5 meals a day, and I have COMPLETELY changed my entire life, relationships, and now have a powerful sense of hope and destiny for my future."		Jessica Bowen HAS A NEW LEASE ON LIFE! "After making a huge lifestyle change in a quest to get truly healthy, I lost 35 lbs on my own and then was stuck at size 12 for about 6 months, and nothing I did made a difference. I was beginning to accept that that was the size I was going to be. Then I was introduced to the Ultimate Body Makeover and lost 20 lbs plus 2 dress sizes in about 2 months. I'm now the smallest I've been in over 8 years, and I'm not finished with my journey yet. The UBM addresses more than just eating & exercise.  It really addresses the root cause to weight gain & self-destructive habits. I'm so excited to now be able to share this program with anyone who feels bound to a life of being unhealthy, overweight and depressed."
Brad & M.J. Binder CERTIFIED WELLNESS COACHES "As Certified Wellness Coaches, we use all the FirstFitness Nutrition products and incorporate the Ultimate Body Makeover as a tool to empower others and bring a credible, life transforming message of hope to our community."		Christian Bearden DESPERATION TO TRANSFORMED “I lost over 62 lbs and went from a size 20 to 12. I have been set free from fat and failure, but more importantly, I’ve gained my life back.  The Ultimate Body Makeover Program changed my life - from private desperation to a complete transformation for me and my family!”
Karen Imhoff IS "HOT FLASH" FREE "I've been using the Suddenly Slim products with success for over 10 years.  They helped me lose 55 lbs and I've been able to keep it off.  After turning 50, however, I began feeling the symptoms of menopause and thought I had tried everything to get relief.  That is when I was introduced to the Ultimate Body Makeover.  I never realized how significant negative emotions, words and, even thoughts, were to the underlying root causes of weight gain and the physical symptoms in our bodies. The UBM helped me address those areas and revealed how they were actually sabotaging my success.  As I began to make the suggested adjustments and continued my journey with the Suddenly Slim products, the menopause symptoms disappeared!  My husband said he felt like he got his wife back and I feel like I've got a new lease on life!"		Chad O'Kane LOVES THE LIFE COACHING  Chad O'Kane says the Ultimate Body Makeover was just what he needed.  More than a weight loss program, the UBM has been instrumental in his personal transformation. Through the UBM, he received the tools, the encouragement, and the permission he needed to dream again. He has also completely changed how he eats and is no longer controlled by out-of-whack cravings. He no longer lives to eat, but eats to live! He has lost 40 lbs in 4 months on the UBM!   He believes one of the keys to the Ultimate Body Makeover is the life coaching.” Left to ourselves, we tend to self-destruct. It helps to align ourselves with, and gain the support and encouragement of someone who is committed to our radical life transformation. I needed to know that someone is in my corner. I got that from my UBM Life Coach!"
