I am becoming more confident every day
Upon arriving at Shane Diet & Fitness Resort in San Antonio, I was beyond nervous and was scared at how hard it might be to work out so overweight. The first week here was hard to work out and be away from my family. However, within days I felt like a part of a new family who is here to support me through ups and downs. Since I struggled with exercising the first week, the staff helped by making modifications in workouts to make sure I wasn’t injured. I even enjoyed all of the food here and found it comforting that as the week progresses I felt fuller after meals.
The second week here it became less hard to be away from home and a little easier to exercise. I started to find the athlete in me that I hadn’t seen since middle school. Classes even incorporated
things like basketball drills and swimming which are things I have loved since childhood. Meals were substantially satisfying me, plus they are delicious.
Now with it being my third week out of five, I don’t want to leave this resort that is beyond beautiful, full of delicious food, spectacular workouts, and truly wonderful people. I can do more than I ever thought I could and am becoming more confident every day. I am truly proud of myself for the first time in my life and am starting to believe all things are possible.
Thank You SHANE!!!!!

I felt welcomed the moment I arrived
I really enjoyed my stay at Shane in San Antonio! The fitness classes were great, and I learned new exercises, including some I can do at home. The food was fantastic! (I’m a vegetarian who doesn’t care for tofu, and there were plenty of yummy choices.) I felt welcomed the moment I arrived, and the staff members were knowledgeable and fun.
One reason I chose Shane was because they incorporate the behavior change aspect in their program in addition to fitness and nutrition. I loved taking some time off work to exercise throughout the day, and have delicious, healthy meals prepared for me! It was difficult to say good bye to that! But, I took home useful ideas and tips on staying healthy that I can use in "every day life" to maintain the lifestyle changes I want to make.

We are more encouraged now to make efforts towards ourselves…
"We had a wonderful time in New York City before heading back home to school in the UK. Although it is not always easy keeping up in the real world where there is no SDR staff to keep one in check, we had such a wonderful time at Shane Diet Resorts. It has encouraged us to continue making efforts towards ourselves. Thank you for everything!! Best wishes always."

Now I understand what I need to do to be successful at home...
"I loved the educational aspects. The classes on nutrition were great. I especially needed to learn about the importance of exercise. Aaron's 5 Pillars class was exactly what I needed to know about fitness. I loved the variety of exercises so I could try things. This was a great experience! I loved being so active and detoxing from salt, fat etc. I understand what I need to do to be successful at home."

It is what I learned about me and about who I truly am that will stick with me...
"A lot of things have happened, a lot of changes in my life, for the better. [SDR] still remains a WONDERFUL experience and I still discover things I learned over there. More than the memories, the sport classes or the nutrition teachings, it's what I learned about me and about who I truly am that will stick to me. I really can't thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to learn this. From the very first email I sent you, to this last day at Shane Resort you’ve always treated me with so much kindness, and I can't thank you enough for that. I had an amazing time here. The classes were absolutely awesome and very addictive. The staff (hotel & trainers) were extremely helpful and understanding. But most of all they were so nice, smiling, positive and motivated that I could not not make progress! I learned a lot here, and I am sure that I am going to keep making progress in the future."

I feel very thankful that I found SDR!
"Things are going great! I have lost 39 lbs since June 20! That is a huge accomplishment for me. And today I had to go into my spare closet for smaller clothes, since my work clothes are getting too big! What a great feeling. I was wearing a size 24; I'm now a size 20! I am at 259 pounds.Through education at SDR I have been able to notice my pitfalls and I am trying my best to keep close to what I learned at SDR. I am not giving up. I feel very thankful that I found SDR!"

I really can't tell you what an incredible experience my week at SDR was.
"Thank you for the at home manual. I loved reading it. It also serves as a reminder of what I have to do every day, as well as the wonderful week I had at SDR. The recipes look delicious and easy. While I tend to burn water, I've decided to try a few of the recipes anyway. I really can't tell you what an incredible experience my week at SDR was. It was truly enlightening and transforming. The program was perfect for me. I can't wait until next summer to spend another week at SDR with my Camp Shane BFF Randi and hopefully some other ladies we met during our stay at SDR who we still keep up with through Facebook. I think of SDR and the staff every day and thank you all for the lessons I have learned, and all the fun I had during my stay at SDR."
