Thank you so much for all the help and support you have been throughout the last 30 days. It's been an incredible journey for me...one which I will continue to follow. To date, on this the 30th day, I have lost 22lbs and two dress sizes!  I would not have believed it had I not seen it myself.
 
I can honestly say I am one of those people who cant remember what hunger was up until I learned it from you.  It never dawned on me for a second that you should only eat when you're hungry!  I think society today as whole probably eats more than they really require, one just needs to watch the super-sized me movie and of course just about everyone is conditioned by eating at set times rather than when they are actually hungry.

I did a check in with my weight and belly button measurement this morning.  I was very pleased that I've lost 4.4 pounds, and lost 2" off my belly button measurement since Monday! That's only been 5 days!  Wow....I'm amazed. 
-Rebecca


 

I have lost 20lbs mainly because I have not focused on weight loss which has been a big problem for me for several years.  I have half heartedly participated in several weight loss programs which revolved around prepackaged meals or deprivation of carbohydrates. I realize that I have felt guilty for not being able to follow rigid programs which further contributed to my hopelessness. I have been able to lose weight and feel confident that I can control my own destiny and I don't need anyone else to do it for me.  It is only a start but a very important one. In all, I have found the workshop and especially the phone sessions invaluable to help me see that my self worth is not equated by my current weight.
-Kim




When we began this program 3 weeks ago, I weighed almost 150. I'm now down to about 142 or so and feel wonderful. I have been able to fit into some of my old clothes again, and best of all, I have released the worry about gaining weight, the stress of feeling out of control, and the misery of hating my body. Thank you so much!!

I recently attended a multiday workshop in San Francisco in which Kim Hiatt presented her Thin From Within Approach. Her work led me to reexamine my body and weight from a different perspective and in a manner that all made sense for the first time. My weight is now coming down without dieting, and I am exercising because I now find it rewarding rather than a punishment. I am grateful for my new attitude and approach to my body image. My wife is thrilled with the life changes that she sees in me.

One of the most insightful books ever written on how to be thin -- naturally. It's more about loving your body and listening to it than beating it with discipline. I love this one!

Dr. Hiatt's multi-factorial approach to the causes and treatments of overweight and obesity FINALLY gives us the tools we need to tackle this serious health epidemic.

Thanks Marna! That helped! I started a dream list and even picked up some books at the book store about finding the right career...one of them is a workbook type thing with exercises to help figure out your "dream job".  Also, this waiting till hungry is AMAZIING!!!  The way you explained it really made sense and I notice when I wait to be really, without a doubt hungry, I pick the food I want more accurately, enjoy my food more and more slowly, and can stop eating at a comfortable point because I notice when the hunger is gone.  And I'm not eating as many sweets (and when I do not in an out of control way) aaaaaaaaand I'm finding better ways to fill my downtime/take care of myself!  This is so coool! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Marna's ideas are the most helpful (as well as logical and simple) information and support I've ever had - I've been trying to diet/lose weight since I was 10! I feel like my whole life all I've done is think about and struggle with food... I'm not even really that overweight, I just don't want to be thinking about food and dieting - and this program is finally the thing that's helping me do it! It doesn't make sense to me to diet anymore - there's no sense in fixating on what you eat (it only makes you think about it more!) - I'm learning to pay attention to how and why I eat, and to eat to be healthy!

I am pleased to have been able to learn about your Thin From Within approach to healthy living. I think that your material is appropriate for all family members, especially, vulnerable teenagers. Thank your for your valuable presentation!

This week has been awesome! I am down about 4-5lbs and I am so excited. Just focusing on doing an activity (other than eating) before I get home from work has made a huge difference! On the other hand, a part of me was even afraid to send this email because I feel like this is too good to be true or beginners luck. I can't wait to see what you have in store.
-Thanks, Ebony





As a fellow expert on non-diet weight loss I wasn’t sure of how much value Marna’s program could be when I initially decided to take one of her classes. I am glad I did anyway!!! Let me tell you how impressed I am with Marna’s vast knowledge of the subject matter, her seemingly infinite solutions and tools to address challenges her weight loss clients face on their way to transforming into their naturally thin selves. In addition I got to know Marna as a wonderful, uplifting spirit that deeply cares for her clients. Thanks for being you, Marna!

I am a 45 year old grandfather that struggled with my body image most of my life. I would lose weight only to gain it back again over a period of time. Diets and other fads may work at first but they are about what you can’t eat or must eat or the exercise you must do. It’s like being force fed what worked temporarily for someone else.

The only way I found to change myself was to change my mind. I created a picture in my head of what I thought my healthy, fit and trim body looked like and I began to see that picture in the mirror. I dropped two inches from my waist in the first month and all my clothes began to fit me better. I don’t even know how much I weigh because it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the image I have in my head. I eat what I want, when I want and exercise when I feel like it. Quite frankly, I love myself and the freedom I have with my thoughts. I listen to my body and it tells me if I am in the mood for a big meal or just a salad but I never worry about what I eat or how much because my body tells me what I need. Thin within is the only way to make it stick. To change your life you must change your mind.

Hi!  I think I've done it - I've overcome my food obsession and I'm living and eating like a thin person.  Oh, and I AM a thin person! :-) It's amazing that I've actually lost weight eating only the things I want.  And I haven't even found the time to exercise yet.  Having a 9 month old will do that to you, I guess.  ;-)  I just wanted to let you know I'm feeling great and I wanted to thank you for doing what you're doing.  Now I look at people and wonder why they're dieting.  It seems so silly to me.  Did I mention that I can fit into every pair of jeans in my closet?  Even the ones I hung on to because I thought that maybe someday they'd fit again!  They do!

You played a vital role in our "fitness intensive" at Saybrook Graduate School's residential colloquium in January.  
The student evaluations were among the best I have ever seen. The seminar literally changed the lives of some 
of them. Your website is great and will enable you to spread the word to more people. 

I hope that you continue to work along these lines, as the obesity epidemic will not go away without public and 
personal awareness, such as that you are providing.

Finally a new and refreshing way to approach being thin again.  I have gotten so tired of all the ways I was looking at what I was doing wrong till I was blue in the face. Since working with the Law of Attraction, the old way of dieting just did not feel right nor was it along the same lines as I was now practicing in other areas of my life.  After meeting Marna at Joe Vitale's workshop, I knew that she was definitely on to something great and I wanted to be a part of it.  I just completed her teleclass series and within the first week I had lost a couple of pounds without even trying.  I loved the teleclasses and the meditations and I specially loved the audios to listen to again at my convenience.  Even if I never lost another pound, the teleclasses were well worth it.  My whole out look on my weight issues have shifted to more positive ways to acting, thinking, eating and my whole attitude has changed around it. Thanks SO much Marna.  It was great and I can't wait to see what you have next on your agenda.

My son Gabriel was involved with Thin From Within for eight weeks. Kim Hiatt was helping Gabe distinguish emotional eating and true hunger. She also was helping Gabe deal with the teasing and tormenting from the kids in his school by helping him focus on his good attributes. Gabe loves to play football; she used this to help him feel good about himself. Kim Hiatt is one of the most giving and compassionates people that I have ever met.

I had a revelation in working with Marna. For some reason, I had been carrying around the belief that I was a big person, and because I was big I needed to eat more. During my coaching I identified that when I travel with friends, my friends often want to eat more often than I do. In taking the time to think about my relationship to food, it occurred to me that maybe my body just didn’t need very much food. I know everyone’s body is different, but it had never occurred to me that mine might be one of the ones that didn’t require much! What a change! I had put myself in a “big girl” box without even knowing it, and had been ignoring my body for so long that it was truly a transformation for me to realize that my body gave me clues to how much I needed to eat. That insight alone was worth the “price of admission!

I was putting something in a drawer in the refrigerator and I found peanut butter wafers from last month. I had totally forgotten about them and had no desire to eat them. Thanks for Thin From Within.
