I've tried weight loss programs in the past, but Naturally Slim is the only program that worked for me long term. I can eat what I want and there is no special food to eat or counting to do. This makes it easy to follow with a busy schedule at home as well as when I'm traveling. When I started Naturally Slim I weighed 240 pounds and wore a size 26w. Now I'm 125 pounds and wear a size 4. People say that I look much younger and I feel much better.

My wife, Ella, and I enrolled in Marcia's classes on March 12, 2002, and by mid-October of 2002, I had lost 72 pounds and Ella had lost 42 pounds. We found the program to be more efficient for us when we both did it together. My reason for joining the classes included knee pains that made it difficult to rise from a chair and to walk. I can now walk without the aid of a cane, but I don't think I could still carry a 72 pound weight all day. Thank God for Marcia and her program. Ella and I have maintained our weight loss within +/-5 pounds for over a year. We are both surprised at how easy it is to maintain a healthy weight without giving up any of our favorite foods. - George and Ella Pruett - 72 and 42 pounds
I was glad to find a way to lose weight that wasn't hard! I learned so much and am more focused on my health, drinking water and exercise. Naturally Slim has changed my life in so many positive ways. As a result of losing the weight I had to get a new wardrobe. I am smaller than I was in high school. - Yolanda Martin - 70 pounds
I am a CPA in public accounting. I started this program in January, just as tax season was starting. I did not have time to exercise and I ate whatever the office brought in or fast food on the way to and from work. I lost 22 pounds during the six weeks of the program. By the end of April I had lost 37 pounds! - Sallie Scherer - 80 pounds
I lost my weight while going to a pizza buffet once a week. My cholesterol improved greatly! After losing only 25 pounds my total cholesterol went from 304 to 190 with my triglycerides going from 453 to 139. My fasting blood sugar went from 101 to 88. This class teaches you how to eat normal foods and not gain weight. It is a lifestyle change. I have kept my weight off for over 4 years! - Susan Clarke - 50 pounds
My weight kept gradually creeping up until I finally weighed more than when I delivered my children. I had to do something. I told my husband, who did not want me to spend the money on Naturally Slim, it was either this program or a new wardrobe. I wanted to lose the weight more than shop, and I love to shop! Now that I've lost the weight, he feels totally different. Not only do I look better, I feel better, physically and emotionally. You can eat all your favorite things and still lose weight! It is incredibly easy, this from someone who is NOT a diet person. Marcia is fabulous, so supportive and genuinely excited about each person's accomplishments. Follow the program and you can't help but lose the weight. - Christie Simpson - 30 pounds
Naturally Slim changed my life. I was going in the wrong direction with my weight which was affecting my health, energy and mood. Since taking the class I now control my weight with ease. I exercise four times a week, coach two soccer teams, attend church, work 50+ hours a week, and still have plenty of desire and energy to play with my four year old daughter. Thank you Marcia and Naturally Slim for changing my life! - David Beatty - 85 pounds
I simply followed the basic eating techniques Marcia teaches in class. I eat only when I'm hungry (level 3). I chew slowly and take at least 30 minutes to eat plus a five minute break and drink LOTS of H2Orange. I do exercise now (walking), but I lost 25 pounds before I started any exercise. It's all in how and when you eat. I feel better and I look better. This would be wonderful for anyone who can't exercise easily (although any form of exercise would help). I also have the knowledge of how to keep the weight off! - Sabrina Carothers - 35 pounds
By doing this program eating only then I am hungry and eating slow I've lost 45 pounds so far. In the process my doctor has taken me off three medicines, Zocor for cholesterol, Actos and Glucophage for diabetes. Also my doctor took my diagnosis of being a Type II Diabetic away. I find this system to be easy even while eating out 3+ times a week like I do. At first I wondered if the class was worth the cost, but looking at what I save on medication now, it is well worth it.

I lost over 35 pounds by following the principles of the Naturally Slim program. Marcia Upson is an excellent teacher who will become your own personal eating coach if you will invest your time and effort into the program. Marcia taught me how to change my eating habits by only eating when I am hungry and eating my food slowly. - James Porter - 35 pounds
After we got the pictures back from spring break in 2001, I realized I needed to do something about my weight problem! I joined Naturally Slim wearing a size 16 and by July of that same year I could wear a size 10. Not stopping there and feeling very successful and proud of my accomplishment!
Being a busy mom of two elementary school age children and running my own business- this plan allows for a person to eat in the "real world" while shrinking in the dress sizes. Naturally Slim has you focus on what your body is saying and being in tune with what God intended us each to be in tune with. NOT with the food and making the food the idol!
Here I am now in 2006 wearing a size 8 still enjoying cheeseburgers and eating when I am hungry. I am not afraid to have my picture made now..... Thank YOU, Naturally Slim!! - Diana Byrd - 40 pounds
In late May 2003, my then 18 year old son was somewhat delightfully expressing that I was making "Dad" noises (you know, those grunts and groans) each time I got up from the couch. Even at 6'1", 268 pounds was way too much weight. I began the program at that time and one weekend in November while my son was gone from college, he saw me sitting on the couch and asked "Dad, where's the gut?!!" I explained to him that it was gone and although I had already lost 50 pounds, I wasn't done yet! I'm still losing and my goal of 185 is easily in reach. I have the confidence that through this program, that maintaining that level will be easy, and the health risks that I feared just a short time ago are now a distant memory. - Rowell Lubbers - 49 pounds
