I have had the pleasure of working with Janet Klein for the past two years. Janet has opened up her heart and knowledge to our Lincoln Elementary community here in Escondido, California. She has spent countless of hours preparing and providing monthly group health and nutrition sessions ranging from a more personal setting of 6 parents to a larger group of 20 parents. She is always kind, patient and prepared for any question that may be asked. I especially appreciate the fact that Janet speaks both English and Spanish and her positive attitude reflects in her eloquent speaking skills. Janet has carefully designed each class to accommodate our families' greatest needs of concerns. Some of her topics have included: Child Obesity; What is Diabetes?; How to Read Labels?; The Importance of Exercising and Eating Right and everybody's favorite: The Truth behind Hot Cheetos. Our sessions have been a great success! Families are personally asking me for Janet's number.

Janet is always approachable and sensitive to everyone's needs. She also expresses, " She is only a phone call away for any question or health concern someone may have." I also have taken her advice to empower myself and my family to a live a healthier and happier life.

Thank you, Janet! You are amazing! Our Lincoln Community is a better place because of you. I look forward to continue working with you in the future.

Dear Janet:

First of all I'd like to send my best regards and let you know that making the decision of taking control of my weight in Positive Choice has been the best decision I've ever made. All the time I was in the program, I was committed and focused I followed all the instructions perfectly. Your support was key for me to continue on the program, you helped me understand the importance of following the instructions and guided me through the psychological implications of being successful in weight management.

On Friday I reached my goal weight and now the next step for me is maintenance.

Currently my work has not allowed me to attend weekly meetings, but I would like to take part in maintenance meetings in the future and if this is possible, I would really like to be in your group again. . I am keen on finishing this challenge and continue my weight management and I am sure the maintenance classes will be determining for my success.

Thank you so much for all your support,

Best regards,

— Bernardo Martinez

A mi me gusto mucho la clase por que descubrн informaciуn que desconocнa, pero lo principal es que explica muy bien la clase y las preguntas las responde como uno las pregunta. Creo que si todos supiйramos como educar a nuestros hijos a comer sanamente, todos serian mas saludables, y me gustarнa saber mas para ser mejor y asi poder educar a mi hijo. Esta es una clase sobre la salud muy interesante. Gracias Janet.

English translation:
I liked the class very much because I discovered new information; but the main thing is that you explain very well and you answer the questions the way they are asked. I believe that if all of us knew how to teach our kids to eat healthy, everybody would be healthier, and I would like to know more to be better, and so, to be able to teach my son. This was a very interesting class about health. Thank you, Janet.

La Seсora Janet explica muy bien. Aprendimos muchнsimo con ella. Gracias por enseсarnos a comer mбs saludable. Si no fuera por personas como usted, nosotros seguirнamos en la ignorancia sobre como alimentar a nuestra familia sanamente. Por favor, nos encantarнa que nos siguiera enseсando mбs acerca de cosas saludables y cosas que no lo son. No nos gustarнa seguir mal informados.

English translation:
Ms Janet explains very well. We learned a lot with her. Thank you for teaching us to eat healthier. If it would not be for people like you, we would still be ignorant about how to feed our families. Please, we would love it if you would continue teaching us about what is healthy and what is not. We don't want to stay uninformed.

For years I had been at war with my weight. After spending a lot of time, effort, and money on different nutritionists, I still wasn't happy. My goals hadn't been reached! It wasn't until one evening, I was having coffee with a friend and she had mentioned Janet Klein, and how she had helped her lose weight. At first, I was skeptical, but I still dialed the seven digit number that would later change my life.

It only took me 15 minutes to realize I was in the hands of the right person. I left the first session with a feeling of excitement that I hadn't felt in a long time! By the second visit, I was confident that I would finally reach my goals. Immediately, I started seeing a huge difference, not only in my weight, but in my health and overall attitude towards life. Janet has helped me so much. She's professional, kind, warm, always accessible, and willing to help outside of our sessions. If you're looking for a life changing positive experience, this is the person you need to contact!

Soy Bertha Castillo, y en las clases que he estado presente con Janet he aprendido mucho sobre mejores opciones para la salud. Por ejemplo, yo traнa la sopa de vaso a la escuela todos los dнas y en su clase, Janet explico que no es saludable, y ya no la he comido ni la compro mбs. Yo siempre tenнa muchos paquetes del yogurt Danonino, salchicha, Bolonia, chorizo, y salami. Ya no los compro porque aprendн que son carnes peligrosas. Ahora compro verduras como brуcoli, zanahoria y mucha fruta, como uvas, naranjas y papaya. Tambiйn aprendн sobre la importancia de mantener la cocina limpia y muchas cosas mбs. Gracias Janet por tu ayuda para mantener sana a mi familia.

English translation:
I am Bertha Castillo, and in the classes I have attended with Janet I have learned a great deal about healthy choices. For example, I used to bring instant soup in a cup to school every day and in the class Janet explained about how unhealthy it is and I don't eat it and I don't buy it anymore. I always had plenty of the Danonino yogurts, hot dogs, bologna, and sausage. I don't buy them anymore because I learned they can be harmful. I now buy vegetables like broccoli and carrots, and lots of fruit, like grapes, oranges, and papaya. I also learned the importance of maintaining a clean kitchen and many other things. Thank you Janet for helping me keep my family healthy.
