I know you've tried everything to lose weight ; the greatest diet or fat melting plan- to no avail. In fact, you're heavier now than ever. Right? The difference with my service is that in addition to my 25 years of weight loss expertise, nutritional degree, psychology degree in eating disorders and medical background, you also get Dr.

Melissa Love's program changed my life. Throughout my lifetime I tried many ways to lose weight with no results. With Melissa Love I learned to understand the food I ate and how my body works with hormones. I trust her advice. She is very focused and has a vast knowledge. Very compassionate and dedicated to her clients. No matter what situation you are in you can lose weight (even when traveling). Immeasurably helpful! More...

I hope this review of Melissa Love's company "Weigh Less With Love" reaches someone who really needs to lose serious weight--forever! I will admit I was very intimidated at first when I pulled in to a long driveway leading to to this huge and beautiful home in Westport. I had heard about Melissa from my daughter's teacher who had lost over 56 pounds and looked terrific. She told me that Melissa was a no-nonsense, results only kind of weight loss expert who only takes on those clients who she deems "worthy" of her time. Although hearing that was a bit off-putting, I now understand what the teacher meant. Melissa doesn't waste time holding your hand. Rather, she knows exactly how to get the weight off and tells you basically that it's her way or the highway. She is a petite powerhouse who got me to lose 47 pounds which I plan to keep off by using Melissa's protocol. She's called the Westport weight loss whisperer. She's that and so much more. More...

I am sharing my experience working with this dynamic weight master, Melissa Love. Through much sweat and tears (but no blood) lol! , I lost 54 pounds in 3 months and 1 week and hope to never ever find it again, with Melissa and God’s help! She really is everything the other reviewer’s say (and much more) Part coach, part shrink, part cheerleader, part friend, she is there for you in ways unimaginable. She even let me go without paying for one of the months when my company downsized and I was let go. But that hardly speaks to her true expertise in getting the weight off. Sensitive, strong, tough, soft, loving, inspiring and gosh darn very, very slim, you also get the extra gift of a world class (almost) Dr.—She really knows so much about the medical aspects and what she doesn’t, she can ask her fiancé Dr. or partner Dr. The only negative is, she can be brutally blunt and it can sting. I wasn't prepared for this, that's all and when she bulldozed her way through my wall. All I can say is...Ouch! You've been warned! More...

Melissa Love, “Westport’s premier weight loss whisperer” is the real deal. I’ve been seeing her close to 3 months and have lost 44 pounds and a ridiculous amount of inches. When you first meet this very lithe and attractive women, you’re not sure what to make of her. She’s in a word…overwhelming !Bouncing from serious weight loss data, to an instructional daily and weekly menu (the “protocol”) and the do’s and don’t’s of it , she throws in a few revealing anecdotal stories to keep you entertained and then manages to weave connections between the many subjects she sidetracked to include. I was mesmerized at her ability to draw you into her vortex ! Her impressive medical acumen enabled her to correctly identify health issues and come up with inventive and smart suggestions that ultimately “cured” my condition. Melissa seems very authentic in her interest in “your past story” and insightfully cuts through to the “meat” of it.(chewing on the fat and spitting it out!) (lol!) At the end, you’re not quite sure how you got there but she works you and somehow earns your trust and resolve to finally face your fat and be done with it! She just has a way about her that inspires you to go the distance and I’ve been to 2 diet dr’s, a nutritionist, another weight loss coach, all of whom Melissa blows away! Sign up people! She’s an original who will inspire you to let go of the fat that’s“weighing you down” Shannon Saperstein More...

After receiving my lab work back, Melissa Love came right out and told me that I was in poor health due to my obesity. She rattled off a number of conditions that were directly threatening my life like metabolic syndrome, diabetes, elevated homocysteine which is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease, etc. etc. I (as usual) tried to deflect the seriousness of what she was saying by making a joke and boy did she bust me ! “Get real or goodbye” ..Your obesity will rob you of many years of your life more so than any other preventable health issue. She said “ of all the top lifestyle –related killers that are in our power to change (smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol) obesity shortens life the most.” Then she followed with “Are you in or out”I was in and am happy to report a 82 pound weight loss that has literally saved my life! Thank you, Ms. Love! If you’re sick of living with sickness and ready to do it her way or the highway, send Melissa a text (she saves phone calls for her out -of -state patients) If you’re looking to be coddled, go elsewhere but if you’re prepared to finally buck up and get to work, there’s no one better, who understands weight loss like her. “Are you in or out?” More...

Dear Melissa,What you have succeeded to do for my mother is nothing short of a miracle! There have been no other Dr, weight loss professional, nutritionist, or a bunch of different trainers that could appeal to my mom to lose her weight! Our family Dr explained to her that last year’s heart attack was most definitely caused by her obesity and yet she still she continued to compulsively overeat. You got to her finally by unpeeling the onion and getting to the route of the issues that caused her to abuse her body and become obese. Your psychological approach & acute insight into the dynamics of my grandmother and mom shed light on some painful truths and secrets that she “stuffed down” along with excessive calories. Your generosity allowed for the extra time she needed (long after her hour was up) and without any extra charge to cry and sort it all out. She down 94 pounds with 14 more to goal weight and I have no doubt she will keep it off. You’re soft and tough at the same time like you are a beautiful woman inside and out! Thank you for saving my mother’s life. I need her around!Jennifer Klein More...

71 pounds, proud as a peacock and about to pass goal! Yes, that's the amount of weight I've lost so far thanks to the ever-effervescent, weight loss master, Melissa Love. I thank her, and most important, my former grumpy gut is grateful that she has cured my chronic bloating and digestive issues completely! She is not for everyone as she often cuts to the chase and bluntly calls you out on your nonsense. Like it was my birthday this past week and my chef husband was baking my all time favorite carrot cake and asked if it would be ok if I had a tiny slice. She snapped back "you've had enough slices in your life... you're done with the baked cake business" then she softened 'for now". She is also brilliant in terms of what it takes to maintain this weight loss. When I assured her I will never gain my weight back, she admonished me for being a little too cocky. "This is the honeymoon stage right now and the true test will be staying within two pounds of goal weight next year and all the years to come." Wish me luck, although I can just hear Melissa in my ear "Luck, you shmuck has nothing to do with it! (lol!) She is so direct and yet a real softie who feels your pain and tears up with you. Text her now (she rarely picks up the phone) as it will be the greatest gift to yourself, just be prepared to own your - - -tPam Doheny More...

This pretty, “skinnygirl” with great style is a dynamo! She cuts through the BS and Gives it to you straight! “You’re fat because you eat too much” Yup, she actually said that to me! (and at first I was stunned.) She then showed me where I was on the body fat chart and she was actually being kind. I was OBESE! (according to my 39% body fat) Melissa was right. I was killing myself slowly, losing years from seeing my grandchildren growing up. She begged me to get real and said to me If I didn't, she didn't want me to come back. So—what did I do? After a month’s break where I cursed her, I realized she was right. I came back and hunkered down and lost 63 pounds so far! I still have 11 more to maintenance which I’m so excited about. Some weeks were hell as I was cranky and wanted to splurge on a Big Mac and Fries but I used all the tools that Melissa had ingrained in me to “tough it out” and thank god the moments passed. She’s the real deal. Smart about medical issues, and knows when to employ tough love and when one needs her hug of approval! She lights up when the scale goes down and has the prettiest smile waiting for you, when you turn your head and look back. Please excuse my French, but GET off your big fat ass’s and text this life savior right away! Thanks Melis—You rocked my world! I would give you more stars if possible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I went to Melissa Love at a low point in my life to lose 50 plus pounds that had accumulated over several years. I was a bit anxious about meeting (from several accounts) this “tough, no nonsense weight loss expert” who saw beneath your bs to get you to finally own up and lose your fat forever. From our first 2 hour consultation through goal weight maintenance, I found this very slim, attractive woman to be compassionate, brutally honest and funny. Yes, she has a wicked sense of humor and makes losing weight a joyous and exciting time. She fills you up with her own personal stories and is self-deprecating enough so that you don’t feel intimidated by her lithe body that rivals a twenty year olds. She is smart about medical issues and the impact excess weight and sugar has on a diabetic. I also am a cancer survivor and she actually knew all about the chemo drug that helped to put me in remission. Melissa was also completely candid about what I could expect going forward and the treacherous road of maintenance before me. “You will have to work hard every day to keep your 50 pounds off” Wow! No sugar coating there! And she is right, as it is a constant battle but one that I’m winning! Thank you sweet Melissa, you are a breath of fresh air and a gifted nutritionist who works weight loss wonders!Elaine Berkus More...

Melissa Love is really a terrific weight loss expert, nutritionist and fitness training coach. I am proud to report a 62 pound weight loss and it’s all due to Melissa’s genius at tough love mixed with a heavy dose of compassion and humor. She’s also extremely bright about medical issues and actually diagnosed an unusual condition I had, based on a set of odd symptoms and my lab report.. That blew me away, as my own doctor missed it. Don’t let the fact that she’s a bit scattered to fool you, as she’s one smart cookie (low carb of course) who spends weekends traveling to medical conferences to keep up on the cutting edge of medicine and weight loss.,. A bit of advise; Don’t seek her out unless you are committed to losing weight and getting to your goal. She senses your bs excuses and indifference and tells you to come back when youre . serious and to stop wasting her time. I actually heard her tell a client just that when I was early one day, outside, waiting for my appointment. I thought “what a b__ _ _ _h , but tough love is exactly what I needed. More...

Wow! what a great deli! I had the corn beef on rye with their awesome coleslaw and mustard and it rivaled any arthur ave cornbeef --hands down. My lunch date has the chicken in the pot that was an extravaganzsa! I couldn't believe how bountiful and (from what she said) heavenly it was. "Better than bubby's chiken in the pot" Their mouthwatering coconut cupcake was just the treat I needed to end a most satisfying lunch. The only drag is the parking, which had me circling a few times around the westport streets. Finally, an incredible deli in the ct burbs right across from my fav "William Sonoma". . More...

Working with Melissa has been a life-changing experience.
Losing weight can be a huge and overwhelming task especially when you have unknown, underlying issues that may be preventing your desired weight loss.
Unlike most doctors/nutritionist, Melissa takes a very detailed approach and helps each individual client get down to the root of problem, whether it be physical, psychological, medical or all three combined.
In a loving but firm environment, her weekly coaching has helped me to lose excess weight and start feeling like my old self again, healthy, active, energetic.
I would never have known about the underlying issues that I had medically which were preventing me from loosing weight even with diet and exercise. After going to multiple doctors, trying various "diet plans," nothing seemed to be working and I was gaining more and more and more weight.
Through Melissa's expansive knowledge of nutrition and the effects on the body, she knew exactly what to check for, and even better, once we identified the problems, we were able to come up with a solution.
I would recommend that anyone having a hard time understanding what foods their body thrives on versus what is harmful to their body (Being that we are all different and have different needs) to sit down with Melissa and to work with her tried-and-proven methods for a healthier and happier life.
She does not disappoint, and as long as you commit to her cleaning eating protocols, there will be amazing results.
