Sue Jordan with her “Live It Well” and exercise/training program are treasures in my life. As a lot of stories start, once upon a time, I was extremely physically fit working out at least 3 times a week, and for a time running 4 miles a day while caring for young children. Somewhere between returning to school, helping my husband and working, I started the slow but continuing process of gaining weight and not working out. My husband became ill and died in 1992. I closed our Judo school, started working full time and ran my children everywhere needed. Finally, when I turned 60 last February I reached my all time high weight of 193 lbs. NOT GOOD.
Enter Sue and Paul. Paul I have known since he was 15 and Sue since they married. They said join us. And Sue said, “It’s all good.” With the “Live It Well” and Sue’s amazing circuit training type exercise classes, I am well on my way to a goal of weight loss, good health and more stamina. I have lost 25 lbs, can make it through Sue’s hour long workouts with more vigor and am not falling, which really scared me. I have gone from a size 16 to a 12. I am on my way! I have hopes that in March 2010 I will be near my goal. I am 5’ 5” and would like to weigh about 135. We will see. But it will be Sue’s warm belief in people that will be my boost through to the end. Sue and Paul thank you. My husband is smiling on you both. God Bless. And as always “It’s all good.” Love you.

When I came to Sue for help I had high blood pressure, cholesterol problems and my doctor was going to put me on blood pressure medicine at the age of 34. Within 4 weeks I lost 15 pounds and lowered my blood pressure and cholesterol enough to keep me off of medicine. Sue helped teach me about nutrition and exercise to change my life and habits, she did not just put me on a diet. She helped me feel better and lose a total of 30 pounds. Sue is always available for questions and is helping me lose my next 30 pounds to get to my goal weight. Sue's program is the complete package for living better and it helps you cut through the myths and misinformation about nutrition and exercise to change your life.

The program has transformed my body and my life. When I came to Sue Jordan I was frustrated and was losing the same five pounds over and over
again. The liveitwell program empowers you with the tools you need to live a healthy life. The combination of healthy eating habits and an exercise regiment
work together to maintain a healthy body. The Food & Exercise journal are the best by far than any other program. It is a clear concise tool to keep track of
your food consumption and exercise. Sue gives you helpful tips for food preparation. She also incorporates recipes and taste testing that helps give
new creative ideas for better food choices. it is an amazing program that works. I lost 16 pounds during the six weeks and I have continued to lose.
Sue Jordan is an amazing motivator with realistic goals. This program is not a diet, it is a tool to live it well for the rest of your life. I have energy that I never dreamed of and I feel like a new person.

Sue Jordan and 'live it well' have been hired by my corporation (Fortney and Weygandt, inc.) several times in the last couple of years. The live it well program is well laid out and informative. Sue does an excellent job in presenting and getting the participants involved, and we always have good participation in her program. We notice that we have positive change in our staff with this program and intend on continuing to use Sue and Live it Well as part of our overall wellness program.

I have been working out at Professional Fitness Solutions since November of 2007. I started out with (LIW) the intention of losing a few pounds for an upcoming wedding, what resulted was a dramatic change both in my body and in my lifestyle. I workout three days a week, each class is different, but it is truly a full body workout.
In the spring of 2008 I participated in Sue Jordan's liveitwell program. I was very skeptical because I am a very picky eater and I set my six week goal at ten pounds. After the first week I had lost 6 pounds, after six weeks I had lost about 16 pounds and 7.5% body fat. The best part is IT'S NOT A DIET; you can still eat real food and go to restaurants. It teaches you how to change your thinking about food and exercise. With the tools Sue teaches I have been able to maintain my weight loss and my healthy lifestyle for over two years! Oh and by the way I looked great for that wedding!!

In December of 2005 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and struggled with controlling this ever changing disease. My doctors recommended I change a few things in my life such as diet and workout routine; as we all know it's easier said than done! it wasn't until November 2007 when I started with Sue Jordan at Professional Fitness Solutions that I truly took steps to change my life. This workout routine has been a critical part of life style ever since. What I discovered at PFS was not only a great workout program but also wonderful and supportive people that I now see as part of my extended family.
In the spring of 2008, Sue convinced me to take part in her liveitwell program; you see I had just gotten engaged and wanted to look good for the wedding. I was never one to buy into diets and therefore I was very skeptical. Sue helped me set realistic goals for myself and taught me to change the way I view food. After the first week I had lost 5 pounds, after six weeks I had lost 15 pounds! In addition to the weight loss, I noticed a huge difference in my overall health. I had so much more energy and had fewer MS symptoms. I never thought something as simple as a change in diet could alter something so damaging as MS. Since liveitwell is so simple to follow, I have been able to stay with the program and keep off the weight! Overall, it's not about weight, it's about living a happier and healthier life!

I wanted to lose weight for my daughter's wedding just over a year away. I had tried to lose weight before, but was not very successful.. My daughter talked me into trying the liveitwell program. During the 6 week program I actually learned how to eat properly. The first two weeks were the toughest, but in the end, it was well worth it. I lost 13 lbs. & have pretty much kept it off. I am more aware of what I eat and taking the course has given me a healthier lifestyle to follow. I am now exercising with Sue Jordan's guidance. Even though I complain A LOT, I actually enjoy exercising. Sue is a caring and supportive person and trainer. She is always watching over us.
P.S. And I felt like a million bucks for my daughter's wedding.

I have had challenges with my weight all my life. When I was young, I was very thin. I attribute this to a very active childhood and my family’s healthy eating habits. In my teens, I still remained thin by participating in cross-country and track. When I turned 18 I had a job as a secretary, and that is when I began gaining weight. The lack of physical exercise and my eating habits had me jump from 130 pounds to 186. From there the dieting began: not eating, eating low-fat, the cabbage-soup diet, the Atkins diet, the South Beach diet, and I am sure there were many more. There was always some weight loss, but it came right back on once the dieting stopped.
I had driven by Professional Fitness Solutions many times and I finally gave them a call to see what they offered. I belonged to many gyms, but I only participated in exercise classes, which were usually impersonal and, once I found a good instructor, that person inevitably left. Once I tried one of Sue Jordan’s classes, I was hooked. The session was fun, full of variety, energetic, and personalized. I began to see results right away. Unfortunately, some of my eating and drinking habits prevented me from reaching my goals. I heard Sue talk about her liveitwell™ program, and I spoke with a few of her clients about it. They all seemed very heartfelt and I knew this was something I had to do.
The program was more than I could have ever anticipated—it was not a diet, but it was body and life changing. Yes, I was losing weight, but after three days of being on the program my skin started to look younger and healthier. The dark circles under my eyes were lighter. My nails began growing as well. I had an overall sense of just feeling good. I was eating well, and it is true—“you are what you eat.” My body was transforming as well. My goal was to lose a pound a week, but I always lost at least three! In six weeks I lost 25 pounds and dropped 9% of my body fat … liveitwell™ has changed my life!
I started fitting into clothes that I had to squeeze into before, and it was the first time in many years that trying on clothes was fun, and not a sentence to starve myself again. I was not only losing weight, but I was also sleeping better, and I noticed that my posture was improving from the exercising.
Liveitwell™ has changed my life. I have tried many things, but nothing has given me the results that this program has. Sue Jordan has truly been a blessing in my life. I encourage you to learn about liveitwell™. You will not be disappointed. I am still losing weight and transforming my body.

In February 2006, I began the liveitwell™ classes taught by Sue Jordan. I was finally ready to make the proper changes for my health that I knew were necessary for me to be re-directed, motivated, and supported.
The classes did all of this and more, teaching me lifestyle changes that have made me feel great, inside and out. I have so much more energy now, and I feel so much better about myself. Sue provided me with the support and education I needed so that I could make wise choices while shopping, making healthy food a part of my daily routine.
I began losing weight each week, and continued to increase the amount of exercise I was doing, working out five to six days a week and participating in a running club. A big dream of mine had always been to run the Cleveland 10K Marathon in under an hour. I am now running my third half-marathon!
I highly recommend the liveitwell™ program. I have lost nearly 30 pounds and 10% of my body fat. I feel great and look great. I have so much fun shopping for clothes now!

Liveitwell™ has truly transformed my body and transformed my life. In addition to losing about 25 pounds and 7% body fat in six weeks, I have experienced a remarkable change in my health and well-being. I suffered from severe PMS for years, taking prescription medication to control the symptoms two weeks out of each month. I also struggled with gall bladder issues, and was facing surgery to remove my gall bladder before I started the program. After applying all that Sue has taught me through the lveitwell™ program, I no longer have PMS symptoms and afternoon headaches, I don’t have to take medication any more, and I did not have to have my gall bladder removed! Just by changing what I feed my body, liveitwell™ has set me free. I feel better, I’m healing from the inside out, I have more energy, and I have fun shopping for smaller-sized clothes.

Since my husband and I got married, we each gained about 20 to 30 pounds. My husband had to start taking pills to lower his cholesterol and high blood pressure, and for someone who has never had high blood pressure problems, I had to start taking two high blood pressure pills a day. I tried everything to lose weight. I always drank diet pop, used artificial sweeteners, and stuck with diet foods, but absolutely nothing worked for me. I felt so swollen, and nothing I did was helping, not even exercising.
February 12, 2007, was the day I decided to go to Sue Jordan’s liveitwell™ class, and boy, were my eyes opened! I could not believe that everything I thought would help me lose weight was doing nothing more than making me bigger. I was defeating the purpose of my exercising with all the diet foods I was eating. I shared everything I learned from liveitwell™ with my husband, and even he began to change his eating habits. We started drinking a protein shake for breakfast, we ate salad just about every day for lunch, and dinner usually consisted of tilapia or all-natural chicken with steamed veggies. Sue explained that since the liver processes everything we eat, it is necessary to cleanse it in order to keep it working and healthy. Her nutritional advice is to eat an apple, a beet, and a carrot everyday to cleanse the liver, and my husband and I added this plan to our daily diets. We have learned so much from this program.
You would not believe the change in us. I started liveitwell™ at 188 pounds and to date I've lost 31 pounds. My husband was at 272 pounds and he’s lost 35. We both have more energy and my doctor has released me from all of my high blood pressure medication. My husband was told that he didn’t need the cholesterol pills anymore.
This program works. And it has definitely changed our lives.

Liveitwell™ is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! Until I met Sue Jordan, I had unhealthy eating habits for as long as I can remember. My eating choices consisted of fried foods, processed foods, and sweets. Portion control was out of control!
My health was bad and getting worse. At the tender age of 20, I experienced one of the worst pains outside of labor. I had gall stones! Even having my gall bladder removed wasn’t the answer … liveitwell™ was! Several years after my gall bladder surgery, a friend of mine introduced me to the liveitwell™ program. Liveitwell™ has given me the knowledge and practical tools I need to pick myself up and not feel guilty about my past. I’m looking forward now, not backwards, and I want to take care of this body that God has given me. I didn’t take care of myself before, but I do now!
Liveitwell™ is the answer to all the “diet trends and tricks” there are to losing weight! It’s natural, healthy, and my entire family has benefitted from it. Liveitwell™ is a lifestyle that your whole family will inherit. They will inherit the truth concerning their wellness and health--losing weight just happens to be a great benefit! My children have a huge advantage that my entire family did not have while growing up.
I thank God for liveitwell™ and Sue Jordan, because my life is forever changed! My self-esteem is high and my body is happy! Now I liveitwell!

My children asked me what I would like for my birthday, and I said I would love to join the liveitwell™ program that my trainer, Sue Jordan, was offering my workout group. I knew I needed to get healthy, and this would be a way for me to take advantage of a good thing. In just a few weeks I noticed a substantial difference in the way my clothes looked on me, plus my energy level was unbelievable.
By using liveitwell’s™ guidelines and taking fitness class three days a week, I’m participating in various fitness activities with people half my age. It’s easy to plan my meals and stay on track because I review my eating habits with Sue using my food journal.
When I first joined liveitwell™, my weight was 219 pounds and my body fat 46.8%. Now my weight is 198 pounds, my body fat is 40%, and I feel great! I can’t wait for my next weigh-in with Sue.
