100% Recommend to give Whole Self Weight Loss a try if you need/want to lose a few pounds! When i started i was at 209 pounds. It took me a little over 2 months and i am now at 179 pounds! A whole 30 pounds gone! Michelle is very professional, has great advice on nutrition and her program TRULY works. She really does care for her clients and it shows! Give her a call, you will not regret it!

Michelle was instrumental in helping me lose 50 lbs. in less than 3 months. She helped establish a diet plan that works for me, while providing an incredible support system, throughout the process. I highly recommend contacting Michelle. Even if you are truly dedicated to losing weight, it is always great to have someone provide you with the tools to help you stay on task to reach your goals.

This was the best thing I ever did for myself. The pounds kept creeping up and I tried every diet and exercise program. I lost 50 and have kept it off for over a year. I have my self esteem back. I am hypothyroid and this is the first time I was able to lose weight. Michelle is a miracle worker and I am so thankful. I also no longer have high blood sugar, sleep apnea, or high cholesterol.

I can’t say enough about this amazing weight loss program. Michelle is so knowledgeable and compassionate every step of the way! After 20 years of dieting I never truly learned how to eat and keep the weight off. The name Whole Self Weight Loss speaks for itself. Thank you Michelle Powell for helping live my best life and feel healthy again. ❤️💃

Michelle was very nice, but it was not a good fit for me. I was looking for a Ketogenic plan, with menus and coaching support. What I found is that they offer a low-starch, low-fat diet (not Keto) supplemented with B-12 shots and offer other "supplements" (which are extra) to assist your weight loss. I did not try them, so I don't know if they work. Your plan comes with a sheet of paper that has a food list, the rules, and few sample meals, but you must create your own menu plan. You weigh in every week and can discuss your program if needed. This is different from coaching, in my opinion. It seems to be a pretty restrictive low-caloric diet plan, so you would likely lose weight if you can follow it long enough.
If you want a traditional, low-calorie, low-fat diet plan, this might work for you. If you are looking for a Ketogenic plan, or a plan that comes with a seven day menu, and want coaching support, this is not it. I was only given a sheet of foods to eat and foods to avoid. It was not a coaching session on Keto at all, except in general terms. I found more info online, and made my own menus, even after clearly asking for a 7 day menu.
Just to be clear, I felt unsupported because after not being able to make a scheduled appointment, I never heard back from Michelle. Not a single call or text. After 2 weeks, I decided she wasn't that interested. The only response after a month is her response to this review.
I know others have had success. For me, personally, I don't think they could offer the coaching as support that I wanted.

I began gaining weight after a back injury that left me unable to be active. This combined with a poor diet made me put on 60 lbs, in 6 years. I spent 6 more years trying to get it off with diet after diet. Losing and gaining around 10-12 pounds and never keeping it off. I honestly thought it was something I would have to accept. I assumed I would have to finally take my doctors advice and start medication for diabetes and high cholesterol.

I luckily met Michelle, and she told me about her plight with weight. I was astonished because she looked like one of those lucky ladies that had a good metabolism. Well, she showed me old pictures of herself in the same position I was in. So, she had perfect insight to my problems.

She graciously gave me tips on helping myself. I really thought I had tried it all. I decided to halfheartedly, try her diet plan that she tailored to my picky eating habits. I struggled at first because I didn't really believe I could do it. Michelle advised me the whole way - never losing patience. She even went to the grocery store with me and taught me how to read labels. She started me on a much needed investigation of my health, eating habits and what I was actually putting in my body. The more I learned the more I wanted to find out.

Because of the guidance from Michelle, I do not have to take statins, I do not have to take diabetic medication and I feel great about my size 8 self. I have kept my weight off for more than 2 years and I have discarded my size 14-16 and xxl clothing. I went from a - I do not believe I can do this state of mind to a loser of 55+ pounds!

Furthermore, when I need help or guidance today, she is always there to assist me. It's more than a diet it's education, counseling and a support system to make you healthy for life. I can never thank her enough for helping me on this life altering journey!
