Success story: Nanci Pacheco

Weight Loss for Life

In this podcast episode, we’re thrilled to chat with our special guest, Nanci Pacheco. Nanci is midway through her 100 pound weight loss journey, but she’s been there a while. 14 years to be precise. After being stuck in the middle for over a decade, Nanci tried nearly every kind of weight loss program. But nothing seemed to ever work…and she certainly wasn’t at a ‘happy’ maintenance level.

Nanci has recently graduated from the six week reset with us and is proud to say she has lost 5 and a half pounds, the first weight she’s lost in 14 years. What a feeling!

After learning more about hunger hormones, satiety, and mindset, Nanci feels much more equipped to turn things around this time.

Today, she wants to share her story and what has helped her kickstart her weight loss again so she can inspire others to do the same. So if you’ve recently hit a plateau and need some tips about how to reach the next level in your journey, this is a must-listen!
