I believe everyone who wants to lose weight has to have or find that “one” trigger or life changing event to get started on a healthy path to lose those extra pounds that found their way onto our bodies. My trigger was when I needed to reduce my pain and have hip replacement surgery. The insurance company didn’t want to pay for my surgery because my BMI was 52! My orthopedic doctor suggested I check into a weight loss program that they sponsor called ITG Diet. I proceeded to sign up and with the help of Jennifer and Leslie (my ITG coaches), I took my first step toward a healthier life.
