Preston and Janine Ward, with Cache County, have had great success as a couple participating in The Apple Program™. Both agree that accountability to track their goals and talk to their Apple Health Coach™ were keys to their success. Knowing their coach will be in contact with them at least once a month really keeps them going. In six weeks, the couple was able to lose an aggregate of 20 pounds. Within the past six months, Janine has successfully lowered her blood glucose by over 100 points. Preston has changed his lifestyle too and now walks to work. Here is what each of them has to say about their progress.
“Before participating in The Apple Program, I was just gliding along in life. With the help of my coach, now I’m soaring. My coach gave me new ideas and successfully helped me to get my blood sugar down where it needs to be. Looking at the clock and taking my blood sugars on a schedule has really worked well for me. Also, I didn’t really like my exercise routine before, but my coach was there to prod me on. My coach encouraged me to exercise whenever I could find a window of time. Exercising more has helped me feel more content with myself and feel more confident. My coach has made such a big difference in my life. I don’t know what I would do without her.” – Janine
“I think the most important thing is the accountability and that we have to report. I think that it is embarrassing to call and have “flubbed up.” To me the embarrassment of saying that I didn’t do my goals, even though my coach was really positive all the time, I almost wanted to improve just to please her. I am doing this program for myself, but I know my coach is excited when I have success. I walk to work now and ride my bike more. It was the desire to improve that drove me to do this. One of my favorite things to do is hiking and I was motivated to improve my health so that I could hike more, but the biggest thing for me is the weight loss. I have lost 12 pounds so far in six weeks. I started to get serious and made simple choices such as drinking Slimfast for breakfast, drinking a glass of V8, and spending time working in the yard versus watching TV. I am keeping myself active. Having a coach always there to support me with my goals and progress has made all the difference.” – Preston
