MLMSS has made such a difference in my life. How I make decisions to take care of myself has evolved from living small and second guessing myself in many areas of my life to now feeling so empowered. I can truly say that this program has challenged me to rise up and become better versions of myself.
I have only improved in confidence and how I show up to everyone around me. I suffered or I should say triumphed past one of the most painful breakups I have ever had. It was probably the one that broke my heart more than anything as it relates to relationships. But the time in class, the practice of mantras, "Breathe,Pause,Think, Ask" and "When in doubt, fast it out" was key for me and what I needed and held onto.
For once, I felt all the feels, dealt with the pain, and relaxed and did nothing to shut it off. I did not eat my feelings. I did not engage in alcohol to ease pain. I did not try to go out and dull my senses in any way. I took one day at a time. I fasted and prayed. I repeat, I just fasted, prayed, and cried when I needed to. I brought it to my sisters in the community group and received so much love and so much support. That was everything for me. I had nowhere else to go or no one else to talk to except for them. I will always be grateful to this group and God for having led me to this community.
The habits we build here really work if you work them. I am so happy that I had this group in April of 2024 when I thought my heart was going to fall out of my chest! But, Glory be to God I am here, happy, in school for my Master's degree, 10 lbs lighter, and feeling so blessed. I am wonderfully blessed and confident.
I cannot say this is where I would be if I had not already been a part of MLMSS. It's like God knew I would need to be here. The heartbreak of a lifetime ended up being a break-through for who I truly wanted to be. But before this experience I had been prepared and didn't know it. I had everything I needed to heal and make good choices while in emotional pain.
I was already equipped with how to treat myself in the event of any sorrowful event. The habits we learned in how to treat ourselves were already foundationally sealed and in place because I had been doing the work and showing up in calls.
This is only a tiny portion of all the good I have experienced as far as personal growth. I have started YouTube, written blogs, excelled on my job and become an all EP (Exceptional Performer) at work. These were all things I was encouraged to do in the group. I have grown more in the 2+ years with God and MLMSS than I have in the past 10 years prior. Growth is happening at a rapid pace. I actually love myself and my worth does not hinge on what anyone thinks or says about me. Again, I'll say, I worked the "work". I wanted it.
This space is special. I love it. I love DyAnn. I love my sisters in this community. I truly thank God for Dy Ann and the MLMSS community. Honestly, I may sound a little preachy or churchy but I know I was divinely led to join this community. Last (2024) year I was tested and I feel so proud of myself for practicing all that I had learned in the group and from the coaching. I have a ton of things to say but this is already long!
Thank you Dy Ann. And I THANK GOD for you!
Love Always,
Lekebia!

I found Dy Ann Parham on YouTube, joining her online fasting course before joining her MLMSS Course.
I love being part of a community of women who are sharing their learning, growing, and generous support for one another.
I learned that I can fast for 20 hours and not only can I drink my coffee black but I actually enjoy my coffee black. I can trust myself to change, to withstand setbacks and continue. The voice in my head that says "I can't" is learning that "I can". That is a profound shift. Dy Ann teaches with a rich and varied knowledge base sharing her process as proof that we can attain what we say we want most for ours lives.
Thank you, Dy Ann!

I started out by wanting to lose weight, but I received so much more than weight loss. Once I started the program I did lose weight, but the benefit was much more about how much better I was feeling. I got my energy back; my joints weren't hurting anymore and my mindset improved, and I felt like myself again. The weekly calls helped immensely to know that there were others struggling like you and hearing their stories were amazing. Dy Ann's help was invaluable, and I can't thank her enough.

I needed to hear this today. I’ve followed you and IF since 8/22/18, 5/23 grad and joined your new mindset class last fall. I was putting myself first while I took a career sabbatical last year.
However, I hit a bit of a wall in my health/wellness journey due to increasing perimenopause symptoms last Spring (I’m 53). I’m working with a certified meno specialist. My husband, seeing me struggle said the other day “have you watched Dy Ann lately. That always motivates you”. I plan on picking up my mindset lessons today. Working from home PT now which allows me flexibility but I miss being in community.
Is your mindset community class open? Thank you for what you do.

I am a September 2022 IF Graduate.
I am an artistic lady with many interests. After the excitement of developing something new or trying something new, I tend to become restless, moving to another challenging interest. Continuing with IF is due to Dy Ann’s guidance of Consistency Over Time!
I am also a slow metabolizer. After a stressful time for several years, I knew I was becoming more insulin resistant. I discovered Dy Ann on YouTube while researching Intermittent Fasting. After finishing the IF course, I knew I was on the correct path with the guidance and knowledge of Dy Ann.
I then joined the MLMSS community. This community with Dy Ann has helped me continue my journey to a strong foundation for my future as I age.
~Everything is a continual state of change. MLMSS has helped me develop a strong foundation and become more resilient, becoming flexible.
~The strength of the women in the MLMSS community observing their achievements with many challenges … with the guidance of Dy Ann’s coaching.
So many moments of discovery that cause me to ponder, think and experiment to build this stronger foundation as I age. (I am 73.)
~Dy Ann’s philosophy of individuality!
~Use of affirmations…making I AM STATEMENTS
~30 day tests … I have accomplished several 30 day tests! … and the idea of testing not only taking things out but adding in something to test.
Dy Ann, I am beyond grateful for all you do for the MLMSS Community and ME.
Thank you so much.
Big Hug,
Lynda
