Success Stories
After only 6 months in THE NEW ME Online Academy, this lovely 54 year old lady is down 50 pounds and on her way to a weight she hasn’t seen in over 20 years! Along with the weight loss 3 medications have been eliminated. She hated to exercise and now she LOVES to walk! She realized that changing her habits would change her life. She had tried many diets, but had never worked with a Coach before, and had never invested much time, money, or effort on herself. Even though she was filled with self-doubt and was afraid of failure, she was more frustrated with being exhausted, and it was time to make a sustainable lifestyle change!
This wonderful 58 year old hard working Entrepreneur found me online searching for a Certified Nutritionist. She had tried all the boring and restrictive diets promising weight loss, but weren't sustainable including Whole30. Wasting time and struggling for years, having back pain from all the extra weight, aching joints, arthritis pain in her knees, feeling bloated and being low on energy, and not having an exercise strategy at home, she was searching for a lifestyle that would fit her with her crazy work schedule. She was stressed and tired of starting over every year, running out of ideas on her own, and she wasn't getting any younger. She didn't own a scale anymore as she was frustrated with the numbers it showed and she had lost hope in reaching the number she so desired. In only 16 weeks in THE NEW ME Online Academy she was able to lose over 23 pounds and find sustainability with food, never needing to search for another diet again. She continues to refer friends and family as she is amazed how THE NEW ME has changed her life.
When this 54 year old lovely lady came to me she was struggling to lose weight, and she was barely eating, some days as low as 500 calories! In THE NEW ME Online Academy she has lost 14 pounds with MORE food, while learning a lot about nutrition. She's drinking more water and less wine when just sitting home alone. She's exercising differently and more efficiently. She recently fit into a pair of pants that she last wore 17 YEARS ago and she's getting all kinds of compliments from her friends, and from her Dad. She worked on her health goals in addition to attending a University, working her job 30 hours per week, AND working on her own business!

This amazing 55 year old lady was referred to me when she was at an all time low with situational depression, stressed at work, not happy in her job, with herself, nor with her body. Freaking out when her weight hit 200 pounds she knew it was time to ask for help. In menopause with thyroid problems, her energy was low, she didn’t prioritize herself, and she had started to become negative at home. After 6 months she is down 22 pounds, is consistent with her workouts, fits into more clothes, and feels more confident. Now she has a positive outlook on life, is more cheerful at home, and has changed careers. Her life has changed so much with being a part of THE NEW ME ACADEMY, and it all starts in the head.
This 56 year old Entrepreneur & Nurse Practitioner found me on Instagram and she not only wanted to lose 20 pounds, but she wanted to open her closet and wear her clothes again. COVID had been rough on her body and her mind. She was sick of having belly fat, desired more energy and wanted her self confidence back. She struggled with maintaining consistency with exercising as she would go all in and then slowly stop. Late night binging and addiction to carbs was a problem. She needed some quick breakfast options so she didn’t skip breakfast. After only 4 months in THE NEW ME Online Academy she is well on her way with all this and more. Down 16 pounds so far, consistently losing an average of 1 pound per week. Her clothes fit again! Her energy has increased and she feels more confident. She walks daily, even on some days when she doesn’t feel like it. She’s trying lots of new foods, has stopped binging at night, and she’s never hungry.
Struggling since her teens with fad diets, this 50 year old menopausal homemaker was referred to me and had a desire to lose weight, increase energy, feel healthy, strong and good about herself as she aged. Being a mom she was not good with prioritizing herself. She was afraid of failing and didn’t know what to do or how to do it. It was important to set a healthy example for her two daughters and conquer her health challenges once and for all. After working together for one year this beautiful lady lost 32 pounds, had no more hip issues, no longer was dizzy, and had no more aches in her fingers and feet. She stopped skipping meals, no longer had the need to graze all day consuming too much sugar and processed foods. Her energy increased tremendously, she got consistent with exercise, and her sleep improved. Her self doubt is gone and she continues to challenge herself to improve.
When this 61 year old lovely lady came to me she was tired of gaining weight, was exhausted with long work hours, confused about what to eat, and felt like she was getting too tired to care. In post-menopause she was not fitting into all of her clothes, feeling fit or strong, and she had a belly. She was low on energy and had issues with her knee, hip and wrist. After 7 years of struggling she lost over 17 pounds in only 12 weeks in THE NEW ME Online Academy and she feels so much better about herself, shrunk her belly, is stronger in her whole body, has increased energy, has learned to plan better, and is more productive at work. She learned what exercises to do at home, has more confidence, and is excited to wear new and smaller sized clothing. She finally has the knowledge of a sustainable lifestyle approach.
This 62 year old awesome lady came referred to me and lost 28 pounds in only 4 months! Prior to investing in herself working with a coach was foreign to her, she was scared of the commitment, the investment, and the unknown. Her son had tried to help her, but he pushed her too hard, and he can’t of course relate to her like a female coach who’s closer in age, understands the female body and mind. She counted on friends for accountability and walking partners, but she remained stuck doing the same things with the same results. She did Weight Watchers, Whole30, counting calories, and intermittent fasting, but nothing sustained her results over the long term as it was all too restrictive. Now she’s feeling much better about herself, regained confidence to do other activities, and she’s consistently walking. She’s learned more about nutrition, feels better, and is motivated to keep going! Like many other women she wants to be around to watch her granddaughters grow up. What has helped her the most in The New ME ACADEMY has been the community, support, check-ins, encouragement, accountability, positive reinforcement and coaching.

Testimonial from my Dear Client
:
6 months ago I joined the New Me Academy working with Linda Terjesen as my health coach.
Together we set a goal of losing 25 pounds within 6 months. I am so happy to report that I have achieved that goal and I feel fantastic.
I would recommend the New Me Academy for women who have been struggling with their weight but have been able unable to achieve the results on their own and who don’t want to try another fad diet.
I had been struggling for awhile as my hormones were “not playing nice” any longer as I am perimenopausal. Even though I was doing a ton of cardio through running and eating “healthy” I was just not getting there. Through The New Me Academy I received education, nutritional counselling, accountability and coaching with one on one coaching and ongoing support in a group setting. The other women in the group were wonderful and supportive so it made the experience fun along the way. The one to one coaching and support for both my nutrition and exercise was great. Linda tailored an exercise program specifically for me which was perfect as “ there is no one size fits all’ approach when its comes to our health and wellness.
The LTLTE Academy is a great program if you are lacking motivation and support, Linda will most certainly motivate you and hold you accountable to your goals.
