✨ VIP Success Spotlight: Susan Vander Waal ✨
“I didn’t want to feel fluffy and bloated anymore — now I feel strong, confident, and prepared.” 💪🌸
💔 Life Shifted — And So Did Her Body
When Susan came to VIP, a lot had changed:
She was divorced and living on her own
Her kids were grown and out of the house
She was busy, coming home late, grabbing whatever was handy
Her over-50 hormones were shifting, and suddenly…
What used to “work” wasn’t working anymore
She felt bloated, puffy, “fluffy”
The scale kept creeping up
And she did not feel good in her own skin
Then came the wake-up moment:
She had bought a dress almost a year earlier for her daughter’s wedding. When she tried it on again… it was way more fitted than she remembered.
“I put it on and thought, nope. It was an eye-opener — we’re out of control and we need to figure out what’s best for my body.”
She’d been watching Sara (a dietitian she already trusted) for a while and finally decided:
👉 “This is the piece I’m missing. It’s time to get help.”

💒 Mother of the Bride Moment
That dress that once felt way too tight?
By her daughter’s wedding day, Susan:
Felt great in it
Walked down the aisle with confidence
Got tons of compliments
And most importantly:
“I wanted to look at those pictures and feel proud, not think,
‘I wish I would’ve walked more or eaten differently.’
And that’s exactly how I feel — no shoulda, coulda, woulda’s.”
