Success Stories

One of Sarah’s many gifts is the way she seamlessly blends nurturing support with bold, no-nonsense advice. She leads women to go inward, but also to translate what they find inside into action that changes the world for the better. I am so grateful to know her and to have benefitted from her brilliance.

Sarah helped me to really find what was making me unhappy beyond the weight. I have tried so many things and this is the first time I feel like I am doing the real work.

What I found was me – the real me – not the me with an extra thirty pounds but the me that has been dying to break out at any weight.

As a result I am ready to take bigger risks, have connected with my partner in a way we haven’t in years, and I’m actually starting to enjoy my life more than what I thought it would be like at a size 2!

My relationship with my body was AWFUL, my relationship with food was pretty bad and I was having zero fun. I wanted to overcome all of that, and learn how to live a fun, relaxed, joyful life. Thanks to LMWL, I find myself being way calmer and way less stressed about other people's problems, specifically my family's issues. I find myself listening to my own voice way more. I also love my body the way she is now, which I never thought possible. I tell my body I love her all of the time. I don't cringe when I look in the mirror anymore. I think the biggest change for me was getting a new job. I don't think I could have done it without this program. I got a job at my dream company, with a large technology company, and I did it because I met someone through this program who works there, and was able to help me. I would have never, ever had the confidence to reach out to her and ask for help before this program. I thought I could do it all alone, and obviously that was not getting me anywhere. But even beyond having someone from LMWL help me, I was confident in the interviews, and was just myself, and believed that if it was meant to be, it will be. And it happened! This program is insanely different from other programs because it's all about how you want to feel. It's so much more feminine and fun, and way more about feeling incredible in your own skin, which I think is the way every program centered around women needs to be. It has changed the way I look at myself. I am kinder to myself, and in return, I am kinder to those around me. I have way more fun, I dance so much, I have found a new confidence in myself, I stand up straighter, I laugh more, I just feel so great being me. But I think the best thing is that I've really just learned how to love myself and love my body. The program is incredible as is connecting with this network of women. Sarah really has a lot of wisdom and is just so funny and down to earth and real, which is so refreshing.

The LMWL program completely resonated with me. I have/had tried a lot of things and knew that I was an emotional eater, no one had ever help me figure out why and how to change it without brute-force will power and that wasn't working. I participated in Sarah’s 28-day challenge and loved it. I knew the LMWL program was a fit. The program has helped me stop mindlessly eating. I now have one night a week that my husband is responsible for the kids so I can go out with friends or have a night to myself. I no longer wear yoga pants everywhere I hired a stylist and have a new wardrobe including new undies and ditching the cotton granny-panties. I am wearing some makeup everyday. I am having sex with my husband! I am yelling at my children less. I am listening to my body. I am seeking fewer outside opinions on things that I am listening to myself about. I am feeling slightly sexy. I THREW OUT my scale and I had no idea how often I weighed myself or how that number affected me until it was gone. I am truly a happier and healthier person because of LMWL. My whole family is benefitting from my experience. I am so grateful to have found this program and the women in it.

I loved the holistic approach of Live More Weigh Less and it was the first time I've done anything like this! The program provides actionable steps to make profound changes in your life in a safe, supportive environment. It is worth the investment because you have tools you can take with you forever. I’ve learned to be more calm and centered, and I have a clear understanding of what is important to me, my priorities, and how to take better care of myself. My clothes are looser, but more importantly I feel more energetic and confident. I was able to adjust my work schedule to work from home when I want, which has opened doors to being able to take care of myself better. THANK YOU! I loved the program and it has made such an impact in my life.

After a almost a lifetime of being self-conscious about how my body was viewed by society, I have finally taken the leap to do my fashion blog, xoCrystalCave.com and not be held back. I decided to embrace my size and I also encourage my followers to do the same. I am trying to define myself on my own terms, not society’s, and not feel self-conscious about being photographed, which is what had held me back from moving forward with my blog. However, I now feel so comfortable in my skin and this new confidence has allowed me to have more fun and enjoy my photo shoots.LMWL has helped relieve this fear, which I feel has also helped me in my career as a wardrobe & personal stylist. Conquering my fear has enabled me to have the understanding of being on both sides of the camera, which creates an advantage that I can now use when approaching each new project.

I also feel a lot more confident in my skin. I always had a “say yes” mentality in my career but not in my personal life. This program has helped me make life more of an adventure – something I had wanted to do when I had moved across the country to LA this spring. I feel my life is more full and by doing this I have felt more settled in my body.

I finally feel like the woman I’ve always imagined wanting to be, even if it’s not at 140lbs – which I wouldn’t even know if I got to that weight because I have given up my scale.

I feel I am now living my life truthfully and LMWL has been the ending to my journey of self-discovery I’ve been on since graduating graduate school.

Before working with Sarah I felt disgusted that I had ‘let myself go’. I felt frumpy and no longer as attractive as I used to be.Now I feel better about my body and I can appreciate it more. I’m not in the shape I once was but I’ve stopped telling myself hateful things. I also love the healthy way of eating that Sarah has taught us.Outside weight and food my life has changed greatly. I quit my dead end jobs to persure my dream career. It’s a big risk but I’m excited about what it means for my business. I’m so grateful for Sarah’s support, advice and inspiration!I had lots of ‘a-ha’ moments when learning about feminine energy. What’s more, it really works! I went out-of-town for the weekend a couple of weeks ago, normally my boyfriend would use that as an excuse to live like a bachelor again, but when I came home, he had cleaned the house and done all the dirty dishes in the sink, which he usually leaves for me to do. He has also been really excited about our new way of eating and bought a wok so he could cook healthy stir fry meals. Yes, he has volunteered to cook us dinner! I feel like he has stepped up to the plate and has begun acting like a man. He is not a boy that I have to take care of. Thank you Sarah, for helping me realize that even small efforts can have big results!

To anyone considering working with Sarah, you are worth investing in yourself. There is no need to feel guilty about spending the money. The information that you will learn and the changes that you will make because of it are so worth the investment!

When I signed up for Live More Weigh Less, I was totally frustrated with losing weight and gaining it right back again. It wasn’t until I was in the program that I realized the reason why I was stuck… I was overeating because I didn’t like how I spent most of my time. I needed a career and life shift—big time.

So, I started dreaming big—and redesigning my career. I wanted to be creative, have freedom to travel, and do work that helps people.
I launched GoldFeather Copywriting as my solopreneur business. I’m a communications and copywriting expert, and I work with health, wellness and personal development brands and publishers to help more people through clear, effective online marketing.

Besides doing something I love that helps others, I love that I designed my business so that I can work from anywhere…so last year, I spent 4 months working and traveling through Southeast Asia with my husband.

We started with a month of surfing, snorkeling, and spice markets in Bali… to a few weeks in the beach vacation paradise of Phuket, Thailand… to 6 weeks through cosmopolitan cities and night markets, ancient rainforest jungles, and beaches in Malaysia… ending up with 3 weeks through Cambodia, to see the mystical temples at Angkor Wat. Now, we’ve relocated to Austin from Brooklyn. We’re loving our new laid-back lifestyle, and planning our next adventure.

If I had waited on the weight, I would probably still be back at my 9-to-5 life as an armchair traveler, just dreaming about what could be some day. The truth is, someday is right now. That’s what Live More Weigh Less is all about.

I have been through the program before and had a good relationship with food already. However, I knew I could be doing more mentally regarding my self image and Sarah has really helped put me up over the top in a positive manner that I will carry with me for the rest of my life I have lost weight and feel so much happier with my body. Sarah’s coaching is spot on and really personal. I am hooked and can not wait for the next round. I truly appreciate being able to join in as on going member.

We talked about men, we talked about vegetables, we talked about work, we talked about spirituality. I began to learn that everything was connected–that if I was stressed out by job-hunting, I would eat too much, and if I overate, I would be mean to my boyfriend.

I felt like something was missing in my life, career, relationship, friendships & body image. As I became unhappy with my weight, I also became more critical of myself & others. This created a cycle of unhappiness that I NEEDED to break. When I received Sarah’s message of living life now I felt like someone threw me a lifeline. Since completing the program I’ve cleaned out my closet, jewelry box, shoes, accessories and now am more grateful for what I own and able put together outfits that are fun and flattering. I've paid attention to my body's hunger cues and have engaged in more mindful eating. I have been more empathic and caring in my relationships with my husband, kids & friends, which has resulted in a more loving response from them as well. I joined a Pilates class which helps with toning & posture. I’ve lost a few pounds, and I have faith I’ll lose more because I'm in it for the long haul. I think it's a crime that women feel unhappy or trapped in a dead-end life because they aren't "perfect." If they only take one or two of Sarah’s messages to heart, they'll have the opportunity to feel better and more empowered. My message to people considering taking the program is… don't feel stuck in a less-than life, you deserve to be happy!

LMWL changed my entire outlook on life. It has been an incredibly positive influence for me. I find that the community I've met through LMWL is one of the biggest reasons why.

Negative Self Talk started for me, when I was young. Maybe 7 or 8. I identified as the "weird" girl because that how everyone described me. I saw myself as huge, fat, ugly, disgusting, for a giant chunk of my life. I spent most of my adolescent and teens staying away from mirrors, dressing in shapeless, dark clothes, making goofy faces in photos. All of it was to hide. I was convinces I was a house and unworthy of better treatment. I would call myself names. I would beat myself up constantly. For anything from how someone spoke to me to my hair being frizzy. I cut myself from age 10 until age 20 because I didn't want to seem emotional, to stop myself from crying. I pulled my hair for 2 years when I attempted to stop cutting. At 20, I swapped to excessive drinking for about 5 years. Then I woke up. At 25 it suddenly dawned on me that I was an adult and I was allowed to be emotional. It wasn't until I was about 30 that I finally became comfortable with that. Through a lot of soul searching, a lot of just being open, I realized what I had done to myself for so long was...well, be as mean as those people way back when had been. I remember the first time I listened to a LMWL module and Sarah talked about the way you speak to yourself and wanting to just scream at someone if they said that to your friend. Suddenly, I realized that even though I thought I was doing so much better, I was still bitching myself out if I went over my calories or missed a workout. When I learned to accept how I was feeling, to stop and breathe, to really just be me, I became the version of myself I always was in my dreams. I realize this is insanely long winded and I promise, I have the ability to be succinct but it felt better just answering this question organically. I feel like there are days, of course, when I have to apologize to myself more than others but I have come a long, long way from the girl who didn't look in the mirror and hid herself away.

I haven't lost any weight, however, I have lost the negativity of my body. I used to be so mean to myself and care what others thought about my body...I still have moments from time to time, however, I realize how negative I am being and turn things around. The other day my bestie was being so mean to herself...I asked her, would you let me talk to you the way you are talking to yourself right now? It stopped her in her tracks...I love that this hasn't just helped me but, others, by the way I interact with them.

LMWL had me at the 10 day challenge! I was needing something more in my everyday life. My current circle of girlfriends and I were all on different paths and busy with graduations, summer fun and moving children to college locations. I felt lost and saw myself spinning in circles. I was craving adventure, fun, friendship, reassurance I wasn’t losing my mind and partners in crime. Personally, my biggest accomplishment was: for a few years now I've been creating image boards on Pinterest. Saving styles I felt I was too chunky for, not beautiful enough to wear at work and for fun, not sophisticated enough. I treated myself to a little shopping spree and subconsciously I found myself putting together outfits and styles I'd saved and seen on Pinterest. My girlfriends are all curious just how much weight I've lost this summer. It's not my weight - It's my Attitude and Confidence.

I have met beautiful women in this group and they have been such a comfort - just to know that other women are struggling in the exact specific ways that you are but also to be around women who are willing to give up dieting with you. So many women who are struggling like me want me to stay with them on the dieting cycle and that is not what I want so the community was so so comforting. I'm not sure if I lost any weight because I don't weigh myself. But I feel emotionally lighter. I am sleeping better. I am eating less snacks. I am so much happier and at peace.

This journey has been going on for me since I was 14. In 2015 I finally read and went through the exercises in Marianne William's book: A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your WEight Forever. That book changed my entire way of thinking about all of this and I started thinking about what it meant to give my weight over to God. Then I met my Nutritionist and we worked on eating without distractions and dressing better and having fun. And finally God put LMWL in my path and I knew it was the natural next step. LMWL took all of what i learned in 2015 to a much higher level. I went deep. I paid attention and I learned sooooo much! I feel enlightened and I feel lighter. I have a lighter step and I have a clearer mind because I know now what i need to focus on and as long as I work on that I know I will continue to move in the right direction. I'm not afraid of this journey anymore. I use to be afraid that I'd never finish and I’d never get it. But now I feel confident that I do get it and I can change and I also realize that I was right - it's never over - but it doesn't have to be a painful journey. It can be a blessed one.

The best lesson I got from LMWL is that my body's choice of gaining weight is a super power, a blessing, because it's my body's way of helping me and telling me that something in my life is off balance. For this I am eternally grateful to Sarah Jenks and to God for putting her in my path. LMWL is the best program EVER!!!

My focus has shifted off of the scale, I have not stepped on it, at ALL!! That's a major victory for me, I was obsessed with it and always looking to lose just a couple more pounds, but I don't care about that anymore, now I am about eating to fuel my body and trying to have fun and be present. That's a huge shift for me.

For the first time during emotional turmoil, I have not run to the pantry, or the fridge, or to those inner supermarket aisles that typically tempt me so. Rather I have reached out to my sons, and my dear ones and have asked for hugs, held their hands, requested a back rub or shoulder squeeze. Asked for them to simply sit near me and allow me to breathe, to cry to laugh, to ramble, to be. I have consistently fueled by body with the foods she is asking for, and feeling the strengths of those choices, I have continued to move my body daily, because it feels good and it's rooting me, and keeping nervous energy in check, I am insisting on ensuring there is fun in each day, because the laughter assures me. I've still got room for improvements on eating without distractions, but I'm totally celebrating my success and this program for giving me so many tools and loving humans.

I felt fat, tired and old before working with Sarah. I was overwhelmed with day-to-day stuff. I decided that I wanted to do something for myself.

After making some keys changes like taking a lunch break and letting go of control in many areas of my life, my body feels lighter, both in weight and in mind. My face is slimmer! I’m still a little overweight, but I’m not so worried about it. I like my body a lot more now.

And so many other things have changed beyond my body. I have realized that I do not have to be in control of every situation; I’m okay with that! I used to get so frustrated that people around me weren’t doing what I thought they should do.

My fiancé and I don’t fight nearly as much. I have less anxiety overall. I am much happier. I really enjoy food; I savor it and eat really good shit. I don’t get mad at my body for not fitting into clothes; I just find clothes that fit. I’m not jealous of beautiful, happy women anymore; I feel like one!

Thinking of working with Sarah? I would say, do it! Sarah is so awesome! She knows what she’s talking about because she has lived it and has made transformations herself. She is real and easy to relate to. You feel like you have a friend on your side. One who wants the best for you.

There’s no pressure to be perfect.

The best part of working with Sarah is that there’s is no shame at all because she has been there and is a real live example of how it works. Knowing that she is in my corner and is exclusively dedicated to me getting freedom around this in a completely new way than ever before is so fresh, fun and exciting.

Sarah is my personal investigator who is on the journey with me to really learn WHY I’ve been struggling for sooooo many years. Rather than wallowing in the past, it’s an adventure in detective work, learning, healing, peacemaking, and growth for a solid change and real transformation of my relationship with food, myself, my body and MY LIFE!!!!

Sarah is partnering with me on creating my personal road map and a real life GPS. She has helped me to navigate what to eat, how to enjoy eating again and what to do in a million situations that have stopped me in the past.

I now feel relaxed and I have realised that losing weight can be a fun and easy process. I don’t have to ‘be good’ or ‘be bad’. I get to choose and we work it out together. I like muffins, cookies, bread, yogurt… and I can have it all! I just need to make it special and super quality.

Each breakthrough uncovers more layers and allows me to shine even brighter. It’s not a fad; I’m making friends with the new me and not a temporary version of me that will flip-flop as soon as our work is done and settling into a grounded, loving, hot and fabulous me!

Sarah Jenks is Geneen Roth meets Mama Gena, and her genius is unlocking the code to truly embracing your body by bringing huge amounts of play, love and femininity into your life.

Before I started working with Sarah, I felt lousy about my body. I thought there was nothing I could do to change it and that I was just going to be fat forever. When I found Sarah’s website I thought wow, finally someone who understands and doesn’t want to put me on less calories, exercise regime. I knew I had to sign up! Although I was a bit worried about the price I overcame that fear by realizing that it is an investment in the rest of my life.I’ve lost 12 pounds, 21 inches all over my body. HOW FREAKING AWESOME IS THAT?!

However, the best part is when I look in the mirror I noticed I have a slimmer face and my pants don’t feel tight anymore!!
But beyond weight, since working with Sarah, my entire life has changed. I’m less stressed, I started doing more for myself and learning more about myself and my femininity. I am eating healthier and loving it, but I also still enjoy sweets and wine at the same time. Sarah taught us how to deal with our stress, and releasing all that has had huge effects on my weight loss weight loss. I changed my schedule around so I could focus on being a student for now and only working part time. It was made my life more fulfilling.

My fiance and I totally have a deeper connection. He says he feels like I’ve been more open with him then I’ve ever been during the 4 years we’ve been dating. Booty camp has deepened our relationship, made me into the woman I was on the inside on the outside, and overall made me feel more alive! Booty camp was the best investment I’ve ever made! It will help me in all aspects of life! If you’re thinking about working with Sarah, DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You won’t regret it!!!

{smile} Oh the list.. it could go on and on. The changes I’ve seen in myself are
1) I don’t seek other’s approval as much. I go within for answers to my questions about my life.
2) I am more confident in being around people and feeling like I am good enough for them.
3) I have really slowed down and taken the time to enjoy everything I am doing.
4) I am making myself a priority in my life and really stepping into creating my own life, not waiting for someone else to do it for me.I am so much more gentle with my body. The biggest thing I have seen is that I have befriended my body and realized that it has been trying to help me all along.I haven’t weighed myself, but my clothes feel looser. People have complimented me that I look great, so I definitely can’t complain.

Finally food isn’t ruling my life.

I was feeling a big void in my life and could not figure out what it was. During the career module, I realized that I didn’t want a career and that I could be happy staying home and taking care of my home and kids. That was a big breakthrough for me because I often thought that the void was some work thing I needed to do that I wasn’t. Then during the Spirit Module I was feeling so down and talked to Sarah about my purpose in life. I was always seeking some ”big” thing and waiting for it. She asked what I wanted in life. I told her to feel peaceful and fulfilled. She said, “Well, there is your purpose. To feel peaceful and fulfilled in everything you do, it doesn’t really matter what you do.” I couldn’t believe it was so simple, but it completely 100% shifted my whole life. I realized there wasn’t a prize at the end of our life (that I know about anyway) so I didn’t have to try so hard to be perfect. There wasn’t a set goal. I couldn’t believe it. I just got to experience and live my life seeking peace and fulfillment and have fun along the way, and my body was this perfect vehicle to let me do that!

This is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Ever.

"Before enrolling in Live More Weigh Less, I was really struggling in knowing the best way to take care of my body. I was binge eating and had my weight was fluctuating constantly. I knew that the conventional way of ""taking care of yourself"" ( diets, intense workouts) wasn't working for me, but I didn't know what would. I had struggled with emotional eating and binge eating for most of my life and felt like LMWL was my attempt to finally figure it out.

The most significant change I've seen since enrolling in the program is about learning the importance of taking action. I get stuck in my head a lot and I appreciate the LMWL is about doing, not more theory It's not always easy,but I've realized the importance of taking action to get what I want. I get clear and then creative on how I can get what I want now. I've learned to trust my body and stop the body-jail spiral much faster.

Live More Weigh Less always circles back to what's happening in your life that's causing your overeating/binge eating and focuses on that rather than the food itself. I like that it focuses on your life instead of making it feel like you are the problem. It teaches you to check in with your life before going on another diet or changing your food. Pleasure and fun is the point and I love that. I also really loved that Sarah made spirituality fun and creative!

Sarah makes me take action- that's my favorite part about her. She knows the philosophy and emotional part but always follows up with practical. She helped me figure out my dream career, planning my 3 year visions and the specific steps I could do to get started TODAY. She helped me create a relationship with my body through daily action which was much more helpful than trying to will or think myself into change.

Live More Weigh Less is a different way to relate to your body, food and life. It's the only thing that I've felt that's worked for me long-term and is sustainable. The struggle with your body is what you THINK is blocking you from what you want- love, a great career, a satisfying life. So when you take care of the issue by focusing on your life, everything changes- including your body. It doesn't have to be this way. It doesn't have to always be so hard or always being disastified with what you see in the mirror. It can change and does change when you actually learn about building a relationship to your body and self. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle that you can sustain because it's about YOU- your body, your needs and living your life for you. I don't invest in coaching programs left and right and completely understand the hesitation on spending on ANOTHER program or product with no guarantee. The difference is that this is about your life. It's not more opinions or advice that might not work. It's a journey with tools to help you in every stage of your body. I believe in only spending on the essentials. LMWL is that. It's worth it because you are worth it. "

Before working with Sarah I distrusted my body because I had gone through a difficult medical situation. I felt unfeminine and closed up.As we went through the program, I was taking A LOT of time away from school/teaching to work out, to go shopping, to have wine on my balcony with my husband, to daydream, to nap. Since making those changes I have less anxiety, I feel more sexy and more confident. Not only have I noticed positive changes in my body but my husband and I are having much more fun!! There are more dates, more lingerie, less fighting and more adventure.

I was 100% committed to the self-care, but I was doing it to get my body and my femininity back, and I truly thought my work would have to suffer. The stories about women getting raises and doing better at their jobs as they went through a similar process seemed real, but for some reason I just didn’t think that would be my story. I could not have been more wrong!

I’m getting the most positive feedback I’ve ever gotten on my papers, my ideas are SO much more creative, and my teaching is, I think, much more fun & useful. I was worried about what I’d be doing this summer when the school year ended, but I’ve been offered an amazing research job at my DREAM non-profit that works on fighting sex trafficking, my school program awarded me research money to do my own work over the summer, AND just yesterday I was offered a job in Italy for July! It. is. insane. I was also accepted into my first international conference, which will be in November, in Puerto Rico.

Honestly, the program was 100% worth it simply for the changes I was feeling in my life and my marriage — but now I realize those happy effects spilled over in amazing ways into my productivity JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT WOULD!

Definitely work with Sarah!! It is worth every penny, and much more. She is great!

Sarah has helped me become much more mindful of my eating practices. I’m learning to eat without distractions and am only eating only the best foods available. Overall I’m seeing a huge difference in my life.

I’ve come to realize that so much can happen just by sending out those positive vibes into the world.

Last summer, while I was working with Sarah, I got my dream job. It is not only giving me a chance to grow and develop in my field, but it is also allowing me to finally feel financially stable. I just returned from a trip to London, Scotland, and Ireland. Something I never dreamed possible before landing this new job.

Weight-wise, I have been thin and I have been heavy. I know what the emotional roller coaster is like with food because I've lived it for 2 decades. It's taken me a long time for me to finally have the control over food instead of food controlling my life, and I'm grateful for that. I've worked very hard to get to where I currently am.

My favorite parts of LMWL are the Body and Career modules. For years I hated my body and now I love it (even though it's not model perfect) and this is a subject I know I can help women with. And Career, because I'm an entrepreneur at heart. And just like the weight, I've had my ups and downs with my career- from working a corporate job to becoming an entrepreneur (which has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done).

I have been an intuitive eater before participating in this program, but I never did it without distractions. I learned that is really the key to tuning in. When I really honor my body and eat without distractions I have discovered that I’m not really all that hungry. I’m getting out more and saying yes to things I didn’t really used to.

I am spending far less time staring at the computer screen and more time putting life back into my life.

I live less than 10 minutes from the beach. When I started this program I went about 2-3 time a year. I love the beach. Why wasn’t I going? I’ve been going once a week ever since I’ve enrolled in Live More Weigh Less, sometimes just for a few minutes but it’s a nice break in the day.

I have recognized how much kinder I need to be to myself, and how many rules I had started to assign to my life. I am having much more fun. This program has opened my eyes; I’ve started thinking more about the dynamics of my relationships, and am trying to shift that paradigm.

I have no idea how much weight I have lost, but I have definitely gone down a full size. My sex life is definitely better, and I am happier when I exercise, because I stopped doing things I hate!
Because of Live More Weigh Less I’m discovering the importance of friendships in my life and I am trying to go on at least one friend date a week.

I’ve also started a swap with another SAHM for some “me” time during the week, and I’ve just had my very first massage! It was absolutely amazing!

Before Live More Weigh Less I knew I needed to grab hold of my emotional eating and move towards a healthier relationship with food. I loved every module and its content but during one of the modules I was forced to look at why I was so afraid of my body and being a woman. After Live More Weigh Less, not only am I feeling lighter in my body, but I am also more conscious about how she is feeling. I am eating so much less and my sense of self-worth has improved tremendously. I catch myself smiling more and saying YES to life now! I am so much happier and more comfortable in my body!

I have a WHOLE NEW LIFE because of Sarah. I wake up and I think I’m beautiful and in my darker moments I’m able to see it as an opportunity to make my life more wonderful. I look at pictures from my engagement and see how tightly my fiance and I are holding each other, and not how big I think my arms or thighs look. I know without a shadow of a doubt I will LOVE the way I look on my wedding day because of her. I look forward to every event in my life and I know I won’t be bothered by the pettiness of how skinny or fat I look anymore. I’ll be ENJOYING MY LIFE! And by doing so my body will take care of itself.

"Since enrolling in Live More Weigh Less and integrating the tools and teachings from the program things have really started to shift for me. Overall I’m feeling a lot less anxious and stressed. The food and TV binges as a means to cope with things in my life are a lot fewer and far between. I’ve been sleeping so much better and am so much happier throughout the day.

The way I think about myself and my time has changed drastically - I am important and worth scheduling things that are fun and relaxing for me. The fun module in the program brought on some major changes in my way of thinking and behaving. I no longer reserve my fun time just for the weekends; I love planning and coming up with new ideas to add in throughout the week.

I have visited local museums, taken dance classes, scheduled time at the spa for massages, pedicures and manicures, gone for walks in nature, sat at cafes to read, and bought myself small gifts that I would have normally passed up.

As a therapist I know how vitale self-care is to our overall well-being but before Live More Weigh Less I was putting it off and overloading my schedule with other obligations which lead to binging on food, tv and sleep (usually in that order). I was quickly getting burnt out and couldn’t pinpoint why. This program has really helped bring awareness to these cycles and has been instrumental in helping me create and maintain a schedule that’s no longer exhausting and filled with things that don’t bring me pleasure, instead I’m prioritizing having more fun and taking care of myself just as I do any other obligations I may have.

Since starting the program, I have made big changes in my career and took risks to reach my aspirations. I have been making more friends and moving my body more through a group class gym that I love. I have also been purposely carving out self-care/fun time just for me.

Live More Weigh Less is so relatable! It is a welcoming and safe place for women to address all kinds of women's issues to be the best versions of themselves. If you’re on the fence about joining, do it. You won't regret it. It is worth it and such a huge help and support system for us as women addressing the tough stuff we don’t always like to talk about. It will change your perspective and how you approach life."

I was worried that being in Australia wouldn't allow me to make the coaching calls but the teleseminar solved that. I was also worried that the feeling Sarah’s 28-day challenge was giving me would be fleeting. But it wasn't! I am happy and smile sometimes when I simply realize that. I focus on fun and treat myself so nicely now. I make a huge occasion out of every shower and meal and bedtime and I am happy meeting my friends out. I have bought new clothes including the first dresses since I was 9 years old. I feel feminine and lucky and my work is much more bearable. I really take care of myself and love myself and my body. My weight? That is fixing itself now, I'm not worried about it anymore. I'm eating better and not kicking myself when I treat myself. I'm so much happier. I've had a makeover and a haircut and have a gratitude journal that is so easy to fill in every night. I have a reading list and a research list and my future looks full, not empty. I think the world would be a better place if every woman thought with the LWML attitude, regardless of their body type. It will awaken you, make you shine, make you vulnerable and more patient and give your life fire again. I am a living example of someone who's life has changed and would tell them to go for it. Sarah, thank you from the bottom of my heart. P.s. I also hear Sarah in my head saying “Ah-mazing” and every time I do, I smile and thank God I found this program.

During one of our group coaching calls, I mentioned that I had a month-long paid sabbatical coming up and Sarah was so excited for me and told me to start planning. Well, I hesitated and kinda went back and forth between going to California or Portland for a month and just bumming around. What I secretly wanted to do was go to Paris, but I was afraid to travel alone. I had originally started planning the Paris trip a year ago, but just stopped thinking about it. I didn’t want to go alone, be the “fat” girl on the plane and at the sites, etc. But then, I received a call from my aunt asking me to meet her in Paris and travel to her house in the south of France. I decided, what the hell. It’s meant to be. And so in 5 days, I had:
Applied for an expedited passport
Received a bonus and raise from work (allowing me to afford the trip)
Paid for the hotel and plane tickets
Received a ton of well wishes from friends
And…told my mother NO when she insisted I travel with a group tour instead of exploring by myselfIt was a whirlwind of excitement and I knew the Universe was sending this experience my way. I know that I am open to receiving all of this because of the things I am still learning about myself…and the catalyst for all of it is LMWL.
I traveled in Paris for 11 days and then the South of France for another 11. Can you believe it? Who gets this kind of opportunity? Well, I am learning…ME! When we start to care for ourselves, the sky is the limit.

Thanks for creating this program and I look forward to round 2 in October!

I have made my life fun and exciting in a way that allows me to love myself instead of hating myself for perceived failures only seen by me. I never realized how often I was negative about myself and about other people. My body feels so much better and I’m so much happier with everything in my life.

I was recently in Alabama visiting my best friend and she commented on how I am the most together person she knows. This was a huge breakthrough for me, considering that just three months ago I was crying my way to work every morning I was excited to get that feedback.

I’m not focused on my weight anymore. In fact, I just got back from vacation in the south and part of my adventure was to indulge myself in the delicious, deep-fried, down-home cooking. Now that I’m home I’m back on track and accept that it will take some time to feel my best again.

I’m not dating a whole lot yet but I am flirting way more and engaging so much more with the men around me. On my vacation I spent a couple days in Nashville by myself. One night I was out listening to the amazing music and I talked and danced with different guys all night and didn’t buy a single one of my drinks all night. I am so much happier in my job and in my life. I feel like myself again.

This program is amazing. I am so grateful I discovered Live More Weigh Less when I did, This discovery seems to have made everything in my life line up to make this all possible. I’ve found myself again, and it’s amazing.

I have always struggled with body image and my life was feeling pretty drab. Sarah’s 30-day challenge really opened my eyes and I felt a shift so the (LMWL) Mastery just felt like the next step. (The program has taught me to) have a deep love and appreciation for my body that I did not have before. I have become more spiritual and more aware of what I am putting into my body. I have not lost any weight but I am feeling the shift more and more each day. I am having fun every day, really learning how to embrace my femininity, really indulge and treat myself when I eat foods that are not the most healthy for me. I focus on the "feel beautiful in 45 minutes" quote and I am finding that it is really helping me. (LMWL) is a program about embracing the life you have or learning how to make healthy changes if you are not happy which will then change the way you eat and your weight. It is not about changing everything just to stare at the scale each day and watch your weight go down. It is crazy how much that number on the scale can change your mood, your day & how you treat others. This program is not about the scale and I absolutely love that. It has changed the way that I view weight loss and has gotten me to make a conscious effort every day to improve my life and my happiness. That, in and of itself, is a reason for me to recommend it.

When I first started my goal was to lose 15 pounds. After a few months I completely forgot about my goal and just concentrated on my relationship to food and my approach to eating. I was never the type to get on a scale…ever. But I was at the doctors office last week and they always make me get on the scale. When the number appeared and I asked what I had weighed in at last year I discovered I had lost 15 pounds. I was amazed. I had lost 15 pounds by practicing some very simple strategies Sarah and I had worked on such as only eating when you are hungry, trying to stop when you are no longer hungry, and giving your body what it really wants to eat. I was excited to have lost 15 pounds, but honestly, I cared so much less than I thought I would! I’ve made so many amazing changes in my life, including the way I approach food and relate to my body, that the weight didn’t matter so much anymore.

I felt like I had a big lightbulb go off as I was in my car listening to the final session in the body module. I realized my weight protects me from showing the world my greatness, that light in me that has so much power and potential. I think my weight lets me hide from the world my power, AND the possibility that I may fail if I try to let it shine. Not sure exactly what to do about it yet, but I wanted to share this realization I had today that feels important in this work.

I have finally started my life!This program has given me the courage to really put myself out there from a friend perspective. I’m making new friends and accepting social invitations far more than I ever have, something I was missing but didn’t realize until this program.

Live More Weigh Less has showed me how important it is to take time out for myself every morning, feed my body what she needs and to partake in some form of movement with my body every day.

This is such an amazing program – thank you! I have a six year old daughter and I hope that I can continue to model this behavior for her!

I signed up for Live More Weigh Less because I knew it was time to face the “stuff” I was stuffing down with food. I’ve lost about five pounds, but I FEEL so freaking much lighter!I’m really paying attention to what I eat — both during and after the meal, checking in with how I feel — and I’m letting more pleasure seep into my everyday existence. It isn’t all work work work, then have some ice cream — it’s a much more gentle, soft, and abundant experience of enjoying my shower, my music, my massage, my make-up, AND my food.The most profound takeaway for me was understanding that when I was looking to food, I was REALLY craving something else entirely. I learned to stop eating like a shitbag with that one simple question: how will I feel in an hour? It takes all the concerns about calories and diet away and REALLY makes me check in with my body.

Without LMWL, I would still be measuring, weighing, and despising food.

I have learned to appreciate my body and listen to her more.

I have learned so much more about myself and what I can do and realize that weight is not just about food it has to do with all the missing pieces in your life.
Because of this program I was able to make a decision with my career that I am absolutely thrilled about. If I had not done this program I would have probably chosen another career just for the money and never would have considered my happiness. I have also really started to take care of myself more; I make sure I put on makeup and buy clothes that really fit my body that I love. I take my time to get ready in the morning which helps me prepare and get a great mental space for the day!

Thanks so much for doing this Sarah I look forward to the next session! I have loved this and I will be redoing all of the modules again and again.

Before I met Sarah I felt trapped in my body. Every day I agonized about how awful and terrible I felt and looked. I had gained and lost the same 30 lbs so many times before. Here I was, 8 months before my wedding and I was miserable. I had dreamed about this day for many, many years and I couldn’t get excited. I put off trying on wedding dresses because I was terrified that I wouldn’t love myself and wouldn’t like the person staring back in the mirror.

After reading one of Sarah’s articles in The Huffington Post, I decided to apply for her private coaching program.

Then, about 6 weeks before my wedding. I was feeling lots of pressure to look a certain way and was losing touch with my purpose. Sarah helped me realize that I had to appreciate where I was that day and accept my body as is. Once I did that, weight actually started coming off. I haven’t weighed myself since March and I love when people ask how much I have lost…I answer “I don’t know but I feel great!”

I loved working with Sarah because her philosophy wasn’t about restricting my diet or going on a crazy exercise binge. Her simple task was to listen to my body…Something I truly didn’t know how to do. I’ll admit sometimes its still hard but when I finally check back in, she lets me know what I need. Sarah also helped me realize how my relationships with friends and family can affect my eating. I’m going to quote Sarah…”The food isn’t the problem, it’s the symptom of something bigger.” I always knew I hid my feelings behind food but I never realized how deep it really went. I learned to check in with my emotions and learned what actual hunger pains felt like…compared to “I’m so stressed and I just want to eat myself into an oblivion” feeling.

I’ve become so much more confident in my decision making ability and I’m adding a lot more fun to my life on a daily basis. I feel so much more connected to my life, body and to everyone I meet. It’s a very magical experience for me. I’m a work in progress, but I’m so thankful for this program.

I don’t know if I’ve lost weight on the scale, but I do know that I stand a little bit taller, prouder of who I am and who I am still becoming.
I take more time to appreciate each moment and cultivating my relationships with my girlfriends and my business has been instrumental.

Thanks so much to Sarah for such a beautiful, loving and gentle program. I felt so safe and it’s inspired me to keep on growing as a person.

Because of Live More Weigh Less I feel more confident in so many areas of my life. I went out and bought new clothes that actually fit my body and I have received so many compliments because of that. I had definitely become disconnected with spirituality and I have found that LMWL has helped me investigate that and to also deal with my anxiety in a more positive way.Although I don’t like aspects of my job, this program has helped me view it as a choice. I have been able to make requests to the principal at the school where I teach to make improvements to my schedule and workload to make the job and demands more enjoyable, I feel much less trapped by it.

I have lost weight throughout the program but more importantly, my husband and coworkers said I looked, “fresher,” more energized, and have a “healthy glow.” :)
When I get up early and meditate, I feel so much better, and although it is a struggle, I’m enjoying it.

The meditation also has helped me as I am going through IVF. At the start, I felt healthier and also am able to deal with the stress more and really feel positive regardless of the outcome. I feel more attractive and therefore have a better sex life with my husband (which really helps because IVF can make everything seem mechanical and sex can become off-putting).

Finally, eating without distractions has been the biggest and most helpful change and is now a habit. I feel like I can eat anything I want, but I have to really sit down with a plate and fork at the table and it is an amazing difference. Even my 3 year old daughter now says, ” We should eat without watching TV. We need to eat as a family.” :)

I found LMWL in early 2015 and it really hit the nail on the head for me. I was lighter because I was happier. Instead of spending my nights in a dark pub drinking beer or on the couch with take-out, I was getting active in my community, meeting new people, volunteering my time, trying new activities, walking everywhere in Boston where I live and work - basically, living my life. I've never been happier.

Sarah is open, understanding, and one of us. She is not afraid to be proud and up front about who she is, and that inspires others to do the same. One of her phrases that has stuck with me was something along the lines of… ‘you would never tolerate a friend who called you fat all the time, so why do you tolerate it when you do it to yourself’. This thought has carried through to many aspects of my life. I would never put up with a friend who told me I wasn’t good enough at my job, or couldn’t find love, or would never be able to build my own business, so why would I say those things to myself?

I am so much happier since completing Live More Weigh Less. I’ve learned to control my food anxiety when I am famished and I vacuum eat way less! I walk every morning when the sun comes up and then have a cup of GREAT coffee and slowly enjoy 4 chocolate covered roasted coffee beans from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. YUM! I spend at least an hour or so daily for personal reflection, reading something inspiring or supportive for my growth. Through this i have been able to create “space” in my day to allow time to show up for myself and raise my self-awareness more.

I’ve also lost 10 pounds!
The online community for the group and the coaching calls really create a strong support system and connects everyone participating in the group.

When a friend just asked me last week to join her on a trip to Canada’s west coast, I jumped on it! I know LMWL helped me realize to take care of myself and the thought of going to the retreat left me really wanting a gal trip and the right one showed up for me!

I’ve also tried to incorporate more fun in my life. I haven’t weighed myself since I started the program. This is a really big deal because before this program I became pretty scale obsessed.

This program has helped me make a conscious effort to keep in mind the question, “How do I want to feel in 45 minutes?” That seems to help me. I pay attention to how food makes me feel and I’ve been journaling more consistently about my observations. I also can recognize when I’m emotionally eating and my binges have reduced.

This program is really awesome and I will can’t wait to participate in the next round!

I was worried that LMWL would be all about weight loss because I didn't need to lose weight. I needed to be reminded how to have FUN!! Having fun used to come naturally, but now with 4 little ones, I have to be very intentional about it and needed to learn how. LMWL gave me the freedom to eat mindfully and for energy, the freedom to love myself and be sexy. I have a better relationship with food; because I was feeling like I needed to eat clean and constantly guilt myself. I loved learning about feminine essence and energy; I now listen to that lovely inner voice. I am having more romance with my husband and enjoying my sexuality for me, not anyone else. I loved that LMWL gives you fun, amazing, loving things to implement into your life. LMWL is life changing. If you want a loving way to connect with your deeper self and grow in health, spirit, and mind, LMWL does that beautifully. Not to mention Sarah Jenks is amazing!! I absolutely loved the program and it was worth every penny. Thank you for living out your calling.

I’ve developed habits to help show my body that I love her, like body oils, massages, good soaps. i feel more secure in my decision to only work one day a week while building my business.I FEEL thinner and so much better throughout the day. I feel happier, and I feel like my relationship with my boyfriend has gotten better, in a subtle way because I just feel better in my skin.

My entire life feels as if it were enhanced because of this program, I can’t quite pinpoint it, but I feel a little more empowered and less alone.

LMWL was so energetic. I felt connected to everyone, I saw myself in so many of the other women, I was able to learn from and grow with them. This was such a huge learning experience for me, listening to Sarah and how she had an answer or suggestion for just about everyone. I really felt like I was part of something in this program and I felt like Sarah was my friend and mentor.

Sarah is a vessel to help us heal, but YOU have to do the work.
