Before I joined Pure Comfort, I became a Lifetime Member of Weight Watcher’s Bahamas, which program was brought to The Bahamas by Lydia Ferguson over 30 years ago.  I originally joined over 20 years ago and was interested in losing a little weight but, more importantly, I wanted to find a program that followed a healthy way of eating.  I did not want to continue going on and off the so called “fad diets”.

I attribute my success in becoming a Lifetime Member and maintaining my goal weight, to changing my way of thinking when it came to food.  Pure Comfort Weight Loss & Wellness Solutions Founded by Lydia Ferguson stresses the importance of introducing healthy foods into your every day meal planning.  I learned to focus on good nutrition and became more mindful of what I was eating.  I prepared my surroundings with more fruits and vegetables, nuts and lean meats and fish, and paid attention to my portions.  I found attending weekly meetings extremely helpful and kept me accountable.  I enjoy encouraging others with their weight loss and it is fun to exchange tips and recipes with members.

Some form of exercise was also encouraged and, as I enjoy walking, I literally stepped it up and began tracking my steps trying to get in a good 45-minute walk, 3 to 4 times a week.

For me, healthy eating (with the occasional treat), tracking, exercise, weekly weigh-ins and meetings have become a way of life and has contributed to my good health.  I am happy to say that I am on no medication other than the occasional Advil or Tylenol for a headache or sinus issue. 

I believe we owe it to ourselves to take care of our bodies by fueling our bodies with healthy food and activities.  The Pure Comfort Ap has made it easy to track what we eat and to track our activities. 

Thank you, Lydia and family for designing Pure Comfort for the benefit of us all.  You never, for one moment, gave up on us and have consistently encouraged and guided us through the transition from one entity to Pure Comfort, during an extremely difficult year.  Yes, 2020 certainly had its challenges with a pandemic never before seen in our lifetime!  Still, you persevered and faced the challenges head on by meeting via ZOOM and encouraging us to download the Pure Comfort Ap to enable us to stay on track.  Finally, we were able to meet in person, safely with our masks and social distancing, and gradually members returned. 

I feel encouraged that 2021 will be a year of great things and I trust that members will share my enthusiasm.  May God continue to guide us and keep us safe and in His grace.
