My Newtopia Story

My name is Line and I have lost 80 pounds during the last year. The turning point was spring 2010 when I step on the scale and saw that number that I didn’t want to see.

Last year, in July, my brother, called me for my birthday. And, in the conversation, I said that I was tired of going through the same yo-yo diet cycle. So, he talked about Newtopia and made the first contact for me.

I started the program in August and I saw results quickly. After just one week, I felt a marked improvement in my general condition: walking became easier as days went by and I felt less pain in my knees and hips. And I lost 3 pounds in the first few days!

Right off the bat, I had a rooted trust in Newtopia because their program is backed up by years of research and scientific knowledge.

I believe that the genetic component makes a huge difference.

Prior to Newtopia I participated in two other weight loss programs, but when I first heard my brother talk about the genetic component of the Newtopia program, it really intrigued me to try it out.

My name is Sindi, and before Newtopia I was resigned to the fact that I wasn’t ever going to be my ideal weight. I just accepted that. I think I had given up on my ability to lose weight. I had gained pounds over the past 10 years, but the most I was ever able to lose was 2-3 lbs. It was so frustrating. Also I disliked exercise. I worked out maybe once a week.

When I was first introduced to Newtopia I was still sceptical about losing weight - so my goal was to become more active and healthy. Just to change what I was doing. I never thought I’d lose weight.
I just wanted to make sure I didn’t gain more weight.

When I got started I told my coach NO gym, NO spinning classes, and NO early mornings. My coach just asked me to start by going for walk after dinner 3x week. My genetic reveal showed me I had a naturally slow metabolism, and with my genetic profile, I had the potential of really gaining weight if I didn’t manage my lifestyle effectively. I was relieved - because it took away the guilt. Now I could just focus on my personal NEWLife solution.

Newtopia has helped me shed years of extra weight.

The system has taught me portion control and that fitness are the key to my future good health. Also I discovered that 1800 calories can be a lot of food.

With my DNA results I discovered that being active will always keep me slimmer. My coach has helped my progress by challenging me and guiding me to making better food choices.

Thank You to my Newtopia Coach for all your help, and I look forward to the maintenance part of the program.

One of the reasons why I joined Newtopia was that I was at the point where my lifestyle was really starting to impact how I felt about my appearance, my self esteem, and my ability to be active. Whether I was walking, jogging or swimming I was feeling tired.

Because I am only 4’’10, putting weight on really impacted the way I felt when I saw myself in pictures or even when I looked in the mirror. I knew I had to make changes, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it until I talked to my brother Jeff who introduced me to a new company he was building which happened to be Newtopia!

As a 25 year old I realized that one of my biggest challenges in terms of gaining weight came from going to college. When I was living at home I found that food choices were healthier, and the only thing that I seemed to struggle with was going out on the weekends. When I made the switch and moved away from home and into residence everything changed. There were many unhealthy food choices in the cafeteria, social life such as going out for dinner with friends, especially on the weekends, having over 20 hours of class time plus homework each week was becoming overwhelming, and I started to notice that my shape was starting to change. I knew that I wanted to look and feel good about myself, but I wasn’t sure how to do it.

After 30 years of gaining weight, seeing doctors for severe knee pain, and told numerous times it is because of my weight, I just lost motivation. Being 212 pounds and a size 22, I was frustrated and just could not find the answers to help me. Eating less was simply just not working!

One night I caught a TV show that featured Newtopia’s program. What intrigued me most was the emphasis on genetics and how genes play a role in weight loss. When I saw what they offered, I jumped at the chance because I needed to lose the weight.

I received my kit with the Genetic test, which was so easy to do. I met with a Newtopia Coach and I have to say that was the beginning of my weight loss journey. Having my personal coach to guide me and direct me throughout my program was one of the many reasons I was successful at losing weight.

Based on my personality and genetic profile, a program that was designed specifically for me. I was given my own personal exercise plan, nutrition plan which fit into my lifestyle. Lifestyle was my key to my weight loss, and my coach was with me every step of the way.

My name is Debbie. I am very proud to say that I am a Newtopian!
I have been heavy now for 17 years – ever since I had children. I now realize that my weight will only continue to increase and the state of my health will decrease if I don’t do something about it!

I started with Newtopia in January and I love the program! It is helping me to actually change my lifestyle – by helping me learn to eat properly and to get active. This has in turn now helped me to lose 60 pounds so far and I feel better and look better than I have ever felt since I having my children! Who knew something so simple could be so life altering?

My coach at Newtopia is Anna. She is awesome! She has helped to motivate me with my activity in the past by putting me on challenges with other people. I have never thought of myself as a competitive person – but little did I know – I have been trying to be in the lead in every challenge she has put me on!
Unfortunately I lost the previous challenge she put me on. But, that gave me the motivation I needed to win the June Challenge! Plus, the gift certificate as a prize was an added benefit!

My Newtopia Story

I chose to adopt a healthier lifestyle several years ago because I was scared. Both my parents passed away at relatively young ages. My dad suffered from heart disease and late onset diabetes, and my mom lost her struggle with cancer. I simply figured that if this is what I had in store for my future from a family genetics perspective, I would increase my odds of living healthier longer by starting earlier in life to live healthier.

I decided to start running, and after doing some 5 and 10 km races, decided to start running longer distances and also embraced the sport of triathlon. I eventually got fit enough that I decided to enter an Ironman race in order to see if I could conquer such a challenging event. Well I finished the race, but was frustrated after the fact that even though I was training a lot of hours, I was still overweight and couldn’t seem to shed the fat.

My Newtopia Story

I am a life coach and my interest in Newtopia was from a business perspective as I thought it to be a good resource or tool for my clients looking to make changes from a physical aspect. I was very intrigued by the genetic aspect of the plan. I didn’t feel that I need to lose weight however I was curious as to see what my genetic result would be as it could have an impact when I entered my 50s. I have lost 13 pounds and feel the best I have in over 20 years.

I was already very athletic, played various sports and exercised at least 3 times a week. Having the opportunity to know that I carried a variation in 2 out of the 3 genes tested; it made me aware of what was required to lose weight. I have now ensured that my exercise regimen was high intensity and included weight training.

Linda
Age: 64

“When I signed up for Newtopia my personal coach told me that I could lose 12 lbs in 2 months. I told her that I could never do that in such a short time because I tend to lose weight slowly. I loved being proven wrong! All in all it was a very rewarding experience and I continue to live every new day the Newtopia way! Thank you Newtopia.”

Age: 43

"I am so happy with Newtopia. A friend asked me the other day how I liked it compared to Bernstein. No contest .

With this program I feel strong, healthy and it is becoming very clear to me that not being on a diet is going to finally get me to look and feel the way I want. My Coach Nicole is extremely qualified. She motivates me, she makes me feel good about myself and offers me solutions and options. She is my cheerleader and yet she can also be tough, sometimes evil(she suggested I bring air popped popcorn to the movies?!) Yet, I didn’t want to be defiant and even though I saw Julie Roberts eat pizza, pasta(hold the sausage) LOL, I didn’t have the popcorn, I had water, it felt good not to be a slob. I have impressed many with my new found energy. The vitamins that Newtopia provide me are the right amount, I like knowing that I am not overdosing on meds (vitamins are not to be taken lightly).

“I’m so happy that I decided to join Newtopia because it has given me so much more than I originally signed up for I went to Newtopia strictly to lose some weight and instead I left with an entirely different approach to weight loss and my overall health. My Newtopian coach, Rikki, worked on my entire lifestyle and tailored the program to my individualized needs. Newtopia is a lifestyle program that makes you holistically feel healthier and better overall. This program works. It is as simple as that."

Antonella
Age: 39

"I never lose weight" this is what I told my Coach Rikki when I started the Newtopia program.

It's not that I'm a negative person, I guess I was just accustomed to failing when it came to weight loss. But, boy, did Rikki and the Newtopia team prove me wrong!! Not only did I lose more weight than I had originally planned on losing, but I gained valuable knowledge that will help me keep the weight off for good. Rikki also challenged me every week to out do my step count on my NewtopiaPed and taught me to push myself further every day. A HUGE THANK YOU to Rikki for not only being my personal Cheer Leader, which everyone needs when going through a lifestyle change, but for giving me the confidence and the tools required to live a healthier and more balanced life."

Simone
Age: 60

When I reached 60 years old I felt my metabolism was really slowing down and found I was sluggish and less physically fit with an overall feeling of Slowness, Heaviness, Lethargy and Malaise being post-menopause. I joined Newtopia to improve all the issues above in hopes of losing weight and being educated to have a better awareness of my body, my spirit and to enjoy an appropriate LIFESTYLE change to maintain forever.

I met with my fabulous coach every week who encouraged and inspired me & organized my diet, exercise and behaviour daily and weekly. My coach worked on my physical fitness and provided suggestions to my physical trainer on adding more weight bearing exercises to my routine. After 4 months of the Program, I lost 15 pounds which were my last and hardest pounds!

At 18 years old I weighed 160 lbs. - On my Wedding Day I weighed 130 lbs. - When I had my 3rd child I weighed 135 lbs
Now at 60 years old I weigh 122 lbs – LESS THAN I HAVE EVER WEIGHED.

I have maintained this weight as I move into 2010 and I must say I have never looked better. I feel 35 and have never had more energy...and have never looked better in a bathing suit. So join Newtopia if you want a LIFESTYLE CHANGE & LONG TERM RESULTS.
