Sound familiar?

If you're always starting over on Monday, the problem isn't you

The problem is your approach to weight loss. Here's what's usually going on:

You've tried restriction

Cutting out entire food groups works for a few weeks until it doesn't, and you're back where you started.

You've exercised without fixing nutrition

You can't out-train a diet that isn't working. Movement matters, but it's not the foundation.

The food noise won't quiet down

If your brain won't stop thinking about food, that's not a willpower problem; it's a strategy problem.

You've never had real accountability

An app or a PDF plan isn't the same as a human weight loss coach checking in on you week to week.

Meet Sarah

A personal weight loss coach who's actually lived it

Sarah Pelc Graca NBC-HWC · PN2 Certified · Founder

I wasn't always healthy and fit. Like many of my clients, I believed losing weight meant giving up the foods I loved and relying on willpower.

When I learned how to build habits that actually fit my life, everything changed.

Today, I've spent more than a decade helping men and women lose weight, keep it off, and still enjoy pizza nights, vacations, birthdays, wine, and chocolate.

My coaching isn't about perfection. It's about creating a healthy lifestyle you'll actually want to keep.

FAQ

Common questions before you start

Do I have to give up wine, chocolate, or my favorite foods?

No, my coaching is built around balance, not restriction. You'll learn how to enjoy the foods you love while building sustainable habits that support your goals.

How is this different from weight loss apps like Noom?

Apps can track your habits, but they can't coach you through real life. You'll work with a real human coach who gets to know you, adapts your plan, and keeps you accountable every step of the way.

Does online weight loss coaching actually work?

Yes, coaching happens through video calls, messaging, and regular check-ins, giving you personalized support and accountability wherever you live.

Can you help if I have PMOS, Hashimoto's, or if I'm taking a GLP-1 medication?

Absolutely. I offer specialized coaching for PMOS, Hashimoto's, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and clients using GLP-1 medications, with nutrition and habit strategies tailored to your needs.

What's included in your coaching plans?

Every coaching plan includes personalized nutrition guidance, healthy habit coaching, accountability, and ongoing support. Higher-tier plans include additional one-on-one coaching sessions and more frequent check-ins.

How do I know which coaching plan is right for me?

It starts with a free consultation. We'll talk about your goals, lifestyle, and the level of support you're looking for, then choose the plan that's the best fit for you.
