include:
- "Now I'm more confident that I have the
skills and knowledge to make better decisions about losing weight."
- "I liked recording the food I ate because it
made me feel like I was doing a good job, and I would want to
continue."
- "Since the class, I've started to exercise
everyday and that has really helped me sleep better and cope a lot better
with my stress. The meetings gave me an incentive to eat right and
exercise."
- "I lost weight, which was good, but it's
even better because I feel better about eating and exercising. My
roommates and I walk together."
