Before
After
"My mother said if I ate air that I would gain weight.
As someone who is cautious with money and deeply skeptical of most programs, I never imagined I’d be the person recommending one to friends and family. But this isn’t just a program — this is a lifestyle.”
Bride — Lost 35 pounds
“So here I am today - 35 pounds lighter and a whole lot happier. I can’t even express to you how my mental health has changed for the better. My blood pressure is lower than most! I am getting married in June and already have my wedding dress. It feels so good to know that I won’t need to worry about my body changing and my dress not fitting when June rolls around.” — Maddie, NV
Bride — Lost over 30 pounds
“I decided to hire Mendy to help me lose the weight for my wedding. The results are remarkable. I lost over thirty pounds in less than 12 weeks!…Coach Mendy helped me navigate eating out with my friends, camping trips, traveling, wedding showers, and my bachelorette party.”
Bride — Lost 41.6 pounds
“My mother said I would gain weight if I ate air…In just five months, I went from 183.6 lbs to 142 lbs. But this journey was never just about the number on the scale — it was about confidence, healing years of insecurity, and finally learning how to live a healthy lifestyle that feels sustainable and kind.” — Priyanka, KS
Bride — Before and After
Allison started her New Me journey June 2017 preparing for her wedding-now just a few months away. I wish I could see her seamstresses eyes at her next fitting- already looking amazing she’s still going- So proud of this girl! Her husband to be is one lucky guy.
Bride — Before and After
This gal (requested to be anonymous) was prepared for her big day. She chose both diet and gym coaching with me to look and feel her best as she and her man made lifetime memories — captured them on camera and stored them in their hearts.
Wedding Anniversary — Lost over 30 pounds
“My wedding dress had been in a box for 21 years and I had never opened it. Working with Coach Mendy Lynn I was able to fit in my dress on my anniversary 21 years later. I weigh less now then I did on my wedding day! I have lost over 30 pounds. Most importantly, I am maintaining my weight.” — Pam, KS
Mother of the Bride — Lost 30 pounds
“I found that I was satisfied and seldom hungry using the plan Coach Mendy Lynn designed for me. And when I started seeing results in the way my clothes fit it got that much easier to stay motivated!…I was able to sail through a 30th anniversary trip, a daughter’s wedding, Thanksgiving and Christmas without losing any of my progress and in fact to continue steady weight loss throughout.” — Maria, KS
Father of the Groom — Lost 67 pounds
“I have battled my weight my entire life (60 now) and knew I would not succeed on my own. I had a lofty goal to be 240 pounds for my son’s wedding in early May of that year…The wedding came, and I met my goal. I was so excited about this that we set a new goal of 200 pounds by the end of the year.” — Mark, KC
Parents of the Groom — 30 pounds together
“Being consistent with Coach Mendy Lynn’s nutrition and workout plan, 30 pounds melted off us by the time the wedding rolled around. Our bodies weren't broken, we just needed help to learn how to eat a well-balanced diet by eliminating the ingredients that were harmful while also adding a workout routine to improve our lifestyle.” — Chris and Joe Leto, KS
Sister of the Bride — Lost 33 pounds
“I am so happy I could fit in the dress I ordered for my sister’s wedding. After thirty-three pounds it needed major alterations. I’m glad I found Coach Mendy Lynn when I did. I got to enjoy that special day with my sister and feel great about my achievement.”
Mother of the Groom — From size 6 to size 4
“Yes, I wanted to look good as I walked down the aisle as “Mother of the Groom” but more importantly I wanted to feel good about myself…I have NEVER had that much success on any other diet I have been on, and when the scale moves in your favor it is so much easier to stay motivated.” — Wendy Carrher, NE
Parents of the Groom — Another wedding!
“When you're making 500 homemade Italian cookies in your own kitchen AND getting ready for your son's wedding at the same time, taste-testing every single batch is a definite no-no…We showed up to our son's wedding feeling confident, strong, and so proud of what we'd accomplished. It was the best feeling, and we couldn't have gotten there without Coach Mendy Lynn.” — Chris and Joe Leto, KS
