Rylie is 8 1/2 and loves to eat!!  But she is doing so well with your plan.  In just
3 weeks (as of last Sunday) she has lost 10.5 lb. She is happy with the amount
she is eating! (of course the withdrawals from the pizza was hard!       :o))  She
is so excited about the weight she has lost, it is fabulous.  Her brother who is
about a 24 BMI, has lost 7.5lbs and I have lost 17lb.  We are all loving it!  I have
told a few friend about it and they want to try it for their kids.

Thanks Again.

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am for a program geared towards
children.  I purchased your program for our almost 8 year old daughter and
after 2 weeks she is down 3.6 lbs.  It is easy enough for her to do on her own
and she is making better choices in food selection and serving sizes.

I have worked (and still do) with people trying to lose weight here in the
Doctor’s office where I work.  I have mentioned your program to many of them
and given your web address.  I think you are doing a great job….Keep up the
good work!  You are making a BIG difference in the lives of people and
empowering them to take control of their health.

This book is absolutely wonderful. We all love our children and want what's
best for them. When your child becomes overweight, your main concern is
their health and your strong desire to do what you can for them. This book
helped us.  You don't want children to feel they are on a "diet".  That seems so
unfair to them.  This book is not a diet. It educates both parents and children
on how to eat right.  We have tried several things over the past few years but
nothing worked.  I would not give up and then I found this book. I went into
this wanting to help my child.  Instead, I not only have a 12 year old son thats
losing weight and feeling great, but I also have myself and my entire family
wanting to do it too. I would recommend this book to anyone not only wanting
to help their overweight child but also to anyone-(all ages) on how to finally
overcome the fad diets and supplements and simply look at what we eat
everyday and make it work to our advantage.  You'll be amazed.

Kudos to both Lisa and Mark Daniel. I was very concerned with my childrens'
weight and found their website by accident. My daughters are both doing
wonderfully on the diet and the book has help me understand what is needed
to make sure they stick to it. The meal plans are great and easy to follow. I
have made a new friend with Lisa and get a lot of support from her. She is the
best!!!!!!! I recommend this book to every parent who has over weight children
and are serious about helping them take that weight off. I love it and the
Daniels for making this available to us.

My name is Sydney and I am 10 years old and am in the 5th grade.  This past
summer my grandpa told me I was fat.  This was actually the second time he
said that to me.  It made me so sad - I felt awful and cried for 3 days.  My mom
asked me if I thought what he said was true and I hated to admit it but I also
thought I was fat.  My mom promised to help me.  She found 45 pounds and
started me on the program.  I was afraid I'd never eat again, well that is the
opposite of what happened.  I have never eaten more and I have lost weight.  
I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks and 5 inches in my waist and 3 inches in my hips.  I
look so good and feel great about myself.  -- it isn't a diet, it is healthy eating.  
All my friends have noticed and my friends are jealous because I get to bring
more food in my lunch pail than they do.  My best friend wants to go on the
program so she can eat like me - she doesn't even need to lose weight!  My
favorite food is the waffles in the morning - the baked potatoes with sour
cream at night and the fact I get dessert ever night but, most of all I love who I
see in the mirror.  Thank you 45 pounds you have changed my life and I will
always remember how to eat healthy.

My name is Eric.  I'm 12 years old and I live in Georgia.  I started this program
February 21, 2005.  This program is great as long as you stick to it.  You will
start to realize that this is a great working program.  I really enjoy it.  It gives
me enough food and I'm not really hungry after a meal.

Sometimes you will come across junk food like cookies or doughnuts.  Don't
eat it.  You will have to walk away from it.  It is so hard but it's worth it. It is
okay if you cheat every once in a while like on a special occasion. I weigh
every Sunday and sometimes I've gained a few pounds instead of losing
them.  I usually know why that happened and I promise myself to do better the
next week.  I don't give up. This program taught me how to eat right and be
active.  Ever since I started this program, I haven't played video games for
months and I only watch TV an hour before I go to bed.  I would rather work
on my dirt bike or something.   This program taught me to do active things.  I
have now lost 20 pounds and I am so happy!!
Hello, my name is Chris and I am ecstatic to say that my daughter Mackenzie
has lost 20 pounds.  Mackenzie and I struggled for a long time with her
weight.  Although she was confident in herself, she was always held back
from doing things because her weight and size would get in the way.  It was
often difficult to find age appropriate, "cool" clothes.  I would shop at
JCPenney in the children's Plus size area, which would have very limited
items.

I was very devastated that such a vibrant, pretty little girl was being held
back by something that I had control over.  I felt it my duty as a parent to
help her and was going to do everything in my power to make it happen.
Every year at her annual physical, I would ask my pediatrician for advice
and help to assist in getting Mackenzie on the right track.  Their advice
consistently was to watch what she ate.  But watching what your child eats
and actually knowing what a balanced diet is are two total things.  Of which
the latter, I had no clue.

I would spend hours online searching for websites pertaining to childhood
obesity, overweight children, children and diets, etc.  After months of
searching and being at my wits end, finally I fell onto 45pounds.  After
speaking to Lisa, she comforted me and took the time to explain the program
to me.  Mackenzie and I discussed it and decided that we would give it a
try.  And as you can see from  her excerpt, she has hit her goal of 20
pounds.  She is a true inspiration for many people we know.  Although she
was always confident and vibrant, she is like a different child.  She is
even more confident than before and where she used to be very cautious in
trying new things, she is the first to do it now.

Many parents often ask me how I did it.  My response is always the
same...with Mackenzie's will power and the help of 45pounds.  I didn't do
anything but give Mackenzie the right tool to get back on track.  I really
could not have done it without the help of the Daniels' and 45pounds.  As a
matter of fact, we visited the pediatrician recently who hasn't seen
Mackenzie in a few months.  She was shocked and genuinely proud of
Mackenzie and her success with the weight loss.  She even asked me about
the plan.

I wish every one of you who are struggling with your child the best of luck.
Stick with it, it gets easier.  I know it sounds cliche, but if we could do
it, so can you!

Just wanted to let you know that my son, Alex, has been on your program for
only 3 weeks and has lost 8 pounds already.  We are all very excited and I have
recommended your program to a number of people.  As I am a Personal Trainer,
fitness is extremely important to me and you have come up with a way to make
eating right easy and totally do-able.

Thank you so much for enabling my son to take control without giving up
everything he likes.  He is continuing on the program and is very enthusiastic.

Sincerely

My son Andy is 8 years old and he is now on his third week on this plan and
already people have started to notice the change in his weight.  He never
feels hungry and loves the foods and snacks that he is allowed to eat. He
himself has noticed a change in his body and even mentions how certain
clothes are fitting better. He plays a lot of baseball and he tells me that he
feels like he has more energy and he is even running faster and has become
more agile. He is really into this meal plan because he knows that it is working
and understands that it is not a diet but a healthy way of eating. I am so
thankful that I found your website. I’ve already had a few parents ask me what
plan I have him on and of course I have referred them to your website.

Thank you so much.

Wow!!  I cannot thank you enough for creating
your program.
 It has changed the life of my family.  My daughter
Sydney is 10 years old and was overweight - she was feeling very down and
upset about her weight...the final blow was when her Grandpa told her she was
FAT - Sydney cried for 3 days straight.  I went on the internet and luckily found
your website.  Now she is a new child.  Everyone has noticed and is asking for
my secret.  I of course am directing them to your site.  You truly changed our
life - however, what if I hadn't found your website?  Sydney would still be an
unhappy child.  I want to help spread the word - let me help you help others -
please send me flyers - business cards and I will distribute for you - I know
your other customers would probably want to do the same.  Together we can
help change lives - sounds corny but, Oh so true.  Please post on your website
and I hope that others will also want to help.
Sincerely,

Hi i just wanted to let you know I have lost 45 pounds with your program. I have
made myself so much healthier. I have reached past my weight target. Thank
you so much for your help.

Maggie Age 13
My daughter has lost 28lbs and looks incredible. She only has
a few to go and will be where SHE wants to be. My son has lost 18lbs and has
been his goal weight for over 4 months now. They love having dessert every
night, something they never got to do except on special occasions. They will
come home from school and my son always asks, "What can we have for snack,
mom, a fruit and a starch?" It's really kind of cute!!!   I am so happy to have
been led to this program. We have others ask us all the time about how we did
it. I have referred a couple families on to the program and they have started. I
have told my children's pediatrician about the program so she can pass on the
information.
