Greg has been making great progress on his health goals while consistently checking in with Rolling Strong CDL Wellness Coach Kasey to track his progress. He has removed almost all processed food from his diet and has stopped going out to eat. Along with eating only homemade food, he has cut his soda consumption down to less than half of what it was before. He has replaced soda with water and drinks 60-80 ounces each day. As a result of these modifications, Greg has lost over 10 pounds since the beginning of the year! Greg exercises 2-3 times per week using his own exercise equipment and says that once the weather is nice he and his wife plan to enjoy a daily walk around the neighborhood together. Awesome work, Greg! Keep it up!

Ernest has lost 13.6 pounds in four months by increasing his activity level and choosing more vegetables and lean meats. He has also increased his intake of water and decreased consumption of caffeine and sugar. Way to go, Ernest!

I was out service for over two months dealing with my sleep apnea. I had no doubt that I had gained more than my share of extra pounds. When I began driving again, I contacted my CDL Wellness Coach. She gave me great advice as to what I needed to do to get those extra pounds off and more. I don’t really like to drink water, but my coach didn’t chastise me like most people do. She told me to take it slow and try to increase me water intake as much as possible. As I started drinking water a little more than normal and following her suggestions, I found myself able to touch my toes again and I had a little more room in those pants. I’m not where I would like to but with her help and encouragement I will get off the CPAP machine!

I have quit smoking thanks to the tips that my Rolling Strong Wellness Coach Nancy has given me. She explained to me all the health risks of smoking and then helped me set goals to quit smoking. She has also helped me to start eating healthier.

She says her only problem now is finding clothes that fit! She also parks far away from the TA station and walks at a moderate pace to help pump her heart and burn extra calories.

In 2011 I weighed 300 lbs and had to make a big life change due to my weight and unhealthy lifestyle. I was diabetic for many years and I didn’t know how to eat right at all. I had a gastric bypass surgery in 201. After my surgery, I had to learn how to eat healthy and watch my caloric intake. During a presentation from Dawn Harrison with Rolling Strong, it made me think twice about what I intake on a daily basis. If you follow Rolling Strong’s program, it will most definitely help you make better food choices. The daily exercise program really helps me maintain a healthy life style. Dawn was amazing and very helpful. I appreciate learning new things to live a healthier life for myself and my family. Thanks Rolling Strong!

I started working with Rolling Strong Coach Cindy about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Following her suggestions along with my willingness to lose weight, I lost around 9 lbs my first week. Maintaining that weight loss and losing more weight to reach my goal is tough but with Rolling Strong’s help, I can truly see that this task will be much easier for me to accomplish.

I was very impressed with the meditation techniques my Rolling Strong Coach shared during the W.E.L.L. talk presentation. Meditation techniques helped to calm us when we felt stressed. I believe this will be highly beneficial in the future.

I have been working with Coach Nancy for 7 months. She calls me every week to check in and help keep me on track. Her encouragement and accountability has been such a huge help. I have lost 15 pounds and will continue on my journey!

Rudy has lost more weight while driving out on the road. He checks his weight each time a Rolling Strong health coach is at the Dallas terminal. His main changes for continued weight loss is decreasing his portion sizes, eating less fast food, and cutting back on soda intake. He has stayed consistent with his changes and the results are showing on the scale. Great job, Rudy!

I recently attended the Covenant driver training school in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I was having trouble with my agility test to the point of failing. Covenant brought in Coach Norie from Rolling Strong. She gave me tips and showed me ways to complete the agility portion of the test. It was thanks to her awesome attitude and helpful tips that I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. I would definitely recommend Rolling Strong!

John has been driving since 1989 and has maintained a healthy lifestyle by eating chicken, fish, staying away from fast food. He limits his sweets and treats. John also likes to listen to Kevin Rutherford on Road Dog Radio and is conscientious about staying healthy. He prepares for the week by going to Walmart and getting frozen vegetables, and rotisserie chicken. If he eats out he gets salads and stays away from burgers and any gluten products. His advice to other drivers is to try to eat small meals during the day, stay away from processed foods, and stay hydrated with a lot of water. His favorite snacks are beef jerky, pork rinds, and nuts.

Gary couldn’t walk long distances and would get out of breath just walking. In April, he made a decision to get healthy. He cut out the fast food he was eating, cut out all soda, and got a gym membership to Genesis Health Club. He now weight lifts 3-4 times a week, drinks 80-120 ounces of water daily, has a shake or 3 boiled eggs for breakfast, packs a lunch full of protein and vegetables, and snacks on sweet and salty nutrition bars. He uses the Rolling Strong app to earn points for his exercise, has linked the app to his Garmin wearable watch, and logs his sleep with the app. He works with Coach Norie to get additional points for checking in with a coach. Calling into a coach makes him feel like he has someone cheering him on and celebrating with him. He’s now down 25 lbs and doesn’t feel sluggish or get out of breath walking anymore. He also doesn’t feel like he needs to sleep as much now either. Great job Gary! Keep up the hard work!

In the 3 months I have worked with Coach Nancy, she has helped me tremendously. She’s taught me what to eat, what not to eat, and how to be mindful of eating slower. She has also educated me on the effects of smoking in the body and this helped motivate me to quit. I’m appreciative of the time she has taken to meet with me. Rolling Strong is a wonderful program!

Working with Coach Nancy has been a pleasure! Her encouragement and guidance has lead me to lose 5 pounds and lower my blood pressure. I am confident I will reach my goals because of her faithful mentorship throughout my journey. Driving a semi truck and sticking to a good diet plan and exercise program can be difficult..there are many opportunities to eat the wrong food and the wrong quantities of food. Since starting Rolling Strong, I have been drinking the proper amount of water each day and have no desire for sugary drinks. I am truly amazed by the health improvements that drinking water has brought me: weight loss, better breathing, and feeling healthier overall. Thanks Rolling Strong for your program, and thank you Coach Nancy. I really want to reach my health goals. It is IMPORTANT!

Dennis has used the Rolling Strong app to help him lose 19 lbs! He utilizes the app to help track his calories and his exercise. He is feeling better and continues to improve his health. He walks for at least 15 minutes each day and has decreased the amount of food he is consuming. He also holds himself accountable by checking in at the HIGI stations and with the health coaches while at the terminals. Congrats Dennis

Daneisha has seen great improvements since limiting her soda intake. Before doing so, she would get intense migraine headaches but since giving up soda she has not had one. She also has more energy and feels better over all since replacing her soda intake in exchange for water.

Daniel started casually using the Rolling Strong app and soon learned that he was in the running to win a prize in his company’s Rolling Strong competition. He uses the app’s tracking features to monitor his sleep and water intake. He also uses the Rolling Strong app to find exercises and to log his exercise. Because his company brought on Rolling Strong, he is doing more to better his health than he ever has. Daniel says Rolling Strong gives him more incentive and he is working toward being healthier and moving more. He has even won prizes from Rolling Strong for keeping up with his healthy new ways! Great work, Daniel!

I always enjoy my Rolling Strong health coach visits; I always learn new ways or better choices to include into my healthy lifestyle. It can be as simple as a new recipe (almond chocolate chip cookies), more information on the benefits of HIIT workouts, or just a reminder about how bread and simple carbs can affect the body.
