My Story

I am Lucy Dadlani, M.Ed., Certified Life Coach, Meetup Organizer, and Weight Loss Coach.

I’ve helped many move forward in their lives by guiding them every step of the way. I would like to share my journey with you. If any part of my story resonates with you, I would love to hear your story, and how you might like to envision it differently. 

I didn’t always present myself as I do today. There was much heaviness in my life that I had to overcome. Thankfully, I’m no longer the child who grew up with weight issues, or the girl who didn’t get asked to go to the prom, or the woman who used food to get through college and grad school, or the woman who could not be alone with herself.  

Throughout my life, I ate compulsively to cope and to push down my feelings. My undeniable addiction to food led me to become a person living beneath her potential, and above her true body size.  

As much as I laughed outwardly, I secretly struggled with loneliness, but that all changed when I gave birth to my first child. I found the ultimate fulfillment in being a mom. That joy led me to my first business, A Child’s Journey, Music & Play for Parent & Child. I wore a tee-shirt with my 1-year-old son on the logo, and proudly served the community as ‘Miss Lucy. 

When the time came to close down my center, I turned back to excess food for comfort. I remained out of control until seeing my 6-year-old daughter imitating my compulsive eating behavior, and I had a turning point. Watching her eat ice cream in front of an open freezer door was very painful, and it made me realize that I needed help. 

That help came from the caring members of a recovery group, where I met people just like me. I felt at home, and I was able to lose a considerable amount of weight, for the first time in my life. I wanted more peace, and the recovery I experienced in that 12 step program gave me the courage to ask my husband for a separation.  

Raising three young children on my own, wasn’t easy, but the friends I made in Meetup helped me through that difficult time in my life. I really enjoyed spending time with other single parents, and I started my own group, Moving Forward with Friends, which still brings people together today 

 As an event organizer, I felt called to help others hurting in loneliness, and became a certified life coach. My website was full of amazing testimonials from grateful clients, but my excess weight still troubled me. 

In 2019, I made a firm decision to take charge of my physical recovery. I worked as hard as I could combining everything I knew about dieting and food addiction recovery, but that only resulted in partial weight loss. 

Summer’s end-2020, I discovered a scientific program which took me to where I am today. With strong determination and the support of my coach, I was able to release the remaining excess weight. Dropping those last 40 pounds was incredibly transformational. That experience enabled me to help over 100 of my clients lose 20 plus pounds between 2020 to present.  

Today I walk pain-free in a healthy mind and body. I am at peace with myself, and I am happy. My life is far from perfect, but I embrace and love who I am. I have made it to a brighter side, and I can help lighten your path to get you there too. 

My individualized coaching programs, exclusive group events, and laughter yoga sessions have helped countless numbers of people to move forward in mind and body, and they can help you as well.  

Whatever your struggles are, I want you to know that you are not alone; and none are too heavy to be lightened.  

Whether we meet up one-on-one or at an event, we will laugh together.
