Featured Transformations

Their stories. In their words.

Real Livea clients share the moments, milestones, and breakthroughs that changed their lives.

Meet Kelly

113 lbs lost total · 28 lbs in first 8 weeks
“I have been on so many diets! I lose the weight, only to gain it all back and then some. I needed to put an end to the roller coaster saga. The team has been with me every step of the way. They coached me to look ahead and come up with a plan and stick to it week after week. Now I am so much lighter and healthier. This program allowed me to love life again.”
St. Cloud, MN

Meet Amy

75 lbs lost
“My cholesterol went down 101 points, and I was amazed. My doctor was amazed! I don’t want to say it’s a miracle – you work the program. But the program helps you make it a miracle!”
Rochester, MN

Meet Julie

62 lbs lost
“I just like myself so much more! I feel so much better! Losing the weight helped me become the woman I always knew I was – it gave me the courage to date after divorce – and I met the man who is the love of my life!”
Minnetonka, MN

Meet Andreea

60 lbs lost total · 27.7 lbs in first 8 weeks
“After losing 60 pounds I am able to perform 4 hours and not be tired. I feel more like myself. Just a few weeks ago I performed in my hometown for 1300 people and received lots of compliments on my ‘new look.’ Everyone loved to see the new me as well as enjoy the music.”
Coon Rapids, MN

Meet Jenn

52 lbs lost total · 26.7 lbs in first 8 weeks
“In the first 8 weeks I lost 21.8 pounds and 18.75 inches. I knew at this point I could do it! It was through the support and counseling that I was able to go back every week. I believed in the system – I believed in the support and I just put one foot in front of the other... every.. single.. day.”

Meet Dr. Cathy

15 lbs lost total · 10.8 lbs in first 8 weeks
“I feel great. I love going into my closet and taking anything out and knowing that it’s going to fit me. But, mostly I feel better in my own skin. As a physician you would think that I’d have it all together. I tell my patients all the time there’s help out there, go get it. It’s a struggle on your own. Losing weight with a group like this or with a program – it’s hard not to succeed.”

Meet Gary & Kathy

Gary lost 30 lbs in 8 weeks · Kathy reached her goal in 4 weeks

In Their Words

What clients actually say.

Minnetonka, MN
“The Livea program was so easy for me to follow and the options were plentiful and delicious! I feel healthy and strong, light and fierce. I know I’m nurturing my body the way it deserves to be nurtured. I also know that failure is not an option with Diane at the Minnetonka center in my corner. Thank you, Livea! Thank you for helping me live my best life.”

−30 lbs
Edina, MN
“With the excess weight off, my ankles, knees, and lower back feel better. My energy levels are up and I’m able to work longer days, then roll right into coaching in the evenings. The program is simple, and it works. You just have to be ready to commit – and then you have to be prepared to buy new pants and belts!”
Dan

“As a pharmacist, I made a decision to start weight loss medication and Livea as my weight loss plan and it has worked very well for me. I needed the accountability with going to the Livea Center. So far I have lost 30 pounds and I hear daily how good I look and how I must feel. And I have to agree, I do. I feel the best I’ve ever felt.”
Brandi
