Project Power Program has created a healthier lifestyle for me. The app has many healthy tools: a food log, health monitor, access to short informative videos, habit tracker and a discussion log. The food log was great because it allowed me not only to count my calories, but it increased my awareness of the foods that I was eating. The tool showed me that my meals contained too many fatty foods, so I selected healthier meal choices which resulted in a decrease in my fat intake. The videos focused on methods to manage and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Coach Susie was great. She never made anyone feel embarrassed or shameful. She always pointed out ways to assist one in making healthy choices. During a team meeting, I informed the group that I have trouble giving up butter. Coach Susie suggested I try Smart Balance which is a healthy option to butter. I tried it and I now use it instead of butter!I have lost 10 pounds and am continuing to lose weight. I weigh myself daily, walk daily and have joined a gym. Project Power is great and I have recommended to my family and friends.

This is an unqualified success as a diabetes program. The meal tracker lets you see immediately and in detail the fat/carb/calorie content of all the foods you eat. So you learn immediately where your dietary problems are. The scale is fabulous for letting you see first hand your success and keeps you on task. The Fitbit makes you see exactly how much exercise/activity you are getting or not getting . These incentives are so helpful to staying on track. I just saw my doctor and my blood tests showed real improvement. My doctor was pleased to hear about this program and that I signed on unprompted. Also and not least, the Counselor, videos and group online meetings are excellent at informing about all aspects of diabetes control and health issues which result if not controlled. In every way this is an outstanding program and a beneficial component to diabetes treatment. I will tell everyone I know with prediabetes/diabetes about Project Power. In fact that is how I learned of the program and the app, i.e., from a friend! Thank you!!!

I am so grateful that someone shared this program with me. It has been so beneficial, the teaching, the encouragement to help each and every participant to know the knowledge they we’re given is helping our health. Thank you Coach Tracy, for you are truly an inspiration for us to know that we too, can accomplish greatness together, and helping each other to be accountable for our success. I have now shared this program with family and friends. I’m so excited that my results have encouraged my husband, my best friend , my sister and my church family to know they can to take control of what and how we eat. I pray that this project will continue on and on and on because it is necessary for others to gain the knowledge I now have and it has and will continue to make the difference in my health. Thank you all for playing a role in this journey of my life. As coach, Tracy said exercise does not help you lose weight , although it is good for you, it is what you put on your plate that helps you lose the weight.

Project Power is a wonderful app designed for people with or at risk for Type II Diabetes. The program tracks and monitors food intake, including calories, fat, and carbs; physical activity and other health indicators.The app provides educational videos on Diabetes, blood glucose, eye health, and a plethora of other topics related to Diabetes. In addition, the program provides a lifestyle coach who offers subject matter expertise along with feedback and one-on-one sessions for individualized support. Having the ability to track and monitor the foods you eat allows you to assess and determine the types of foods you should avoid as well which foods to eat more of. Likewise, the ability to track physical activity helps to keep you focused and on target with your goals.Overall, this program has helped me to become more aware of my habits and understand what I should change to improve my health outcomes and meet my goals. Coach Julie was very responsive and supportive throughout the twelve weeks and made me feel comfortable in facing my shortcomings. This is a great -Roger am f-or anyone wanting/needing to improve their health and change their lifestyle for the better. I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in Project Power!
