Success Stories

I had given up. I was done with trying to lose weight. I worked 10-14 hour days, traveled over 100k miles a year, and was frankly too tired to focus on making myself healthy. I was tired of failure. And then a family member found this plan and she had fabulous results. At first I was not convinced, but then I saw her just melt away in front of me and I thought I would “try.” Was there really hope??? I discussed the plan with my doctor and he researched it and gave it two thumbs up. My doctor was very encouraging. I had high cholesterol, pre-diabetic, sleep apnea, and a variety of other ailments. When I tried the plan I found that it was just perfect for my incredibly busy life. It was the perfect blend between ease and choice, between structure and flexibility. The first miracle is how great I felt on plan. The second miracle was how I lost weight every week, averaging 2.7 pounds lost per week. The third miracle was how my blood work represented the increased health I had achieved. In just a few short months, as a result of weight loss, my cholesterol has dropped from 280 to 190! The ultimate seal of approval is that my doctor was so impressed that he is referring his patients to the plan after seeing my results. Life is not only good, it is GREAT!

As a grandfather of 17 I did not believe I could lose 60 lbs to get back to my High School weight. After a few months I was well on my way. I have energy and ride my bike sometimes 50 miles a day. This changed my life!

I had always been the same weight. No matter how well or badly I ate or how much I exercised. Until I had my first baby. Same eating habits, but after I had our little girl, the pounds just started sticking to me at an alarming rate. And I knew that if I gained more weight with every baby, I would be in a terrible place once our whole family was here. I had already seen my family lose over 300 pounds combined on an amazing program, and I knew it was time for me to make a change too. After 7 weeks on the program I had lost 20 lbs and was slimmer than I was in High School! And even with a new baby, I had wonderful energy. No more mid day naps or slumps. And our little girl will grow up with the great habits that our family has developed doing this program. We made a choice, and changed our future.

Just when I thought I was going to be "large and in charge" for the rest of my life, I came across some information on this program! Being able to eat every 3 hours was the best part of the program. I wasn't starving like any other plan I've tried! Of course losing up to 2-5 pounds a week is a huge benefit, we all like to see results! I lost 30 pounds in 12 weeks and have kept it off for 3 months now. Everything is easier when you are light and fit and I will never go back to being the way I was before!

My name is Carol and I am so fortunate to have found this healthy lifestyle! In my early 50's I started to put on weight- a little more each year until I was overweight, tired and had sore knees. I was fat and my clothes did not fit. I was not going to go up another size. I could not lose the weight. Now in my late 50's I have lost 39 pounds and have gone from a size 12 to a size 4!! In just 16 weeks. I feel younger and have energy again, my knees don't hurt and I even sleep better! I have learned to eat right and develop healthy habits for the rest of my life. This program worked so well for me I had to be a part of it, and share it with my family and friends.

For the past 20+ years I have been fighting the bulge. Year after year I would tell myself – I will NOT get heavier, but I gained and gained. One day fate stepped in when I connected with a dear friend on Facebook. She mentioned she had lost about 50 pounds. I wanted to do that too so I started the program right away. I didn’t really believe it would work because all those other things I’d tried hadn’t, but I did it anyway. Boy was I wrong. I have lost 56 pounds in 6 months and I feel GREAT! I’m happier and healthier! I’ve gone from a tight size 16 to a well fitting size 6! I never thought I would be that weight again in my life. My self-confidence is soaring and I smile inside and out every day!

I have been overweight my whole life. I have been on A LOT of diets but yet I found myself still struggling with my weight. I work full time and I have two small children. My life is busy and I had little time to take care of myself... or so I thought. I was introduced to this program and it has changed my life! I have lost65 pounds on this program with the help of my health coach! I have gone from an embarrassing size 18 to a fabulous size 6! Woohoo! I now have the energy and confidence I have dreamed of... that is why I am now helping others get healthy!

Jonnie and I got married and I got my current job as a school counselor. From that point on the stresses of life and the business of a new job took its toll on both of us, and we definitely turned to food as one of our stress relievers. The pounds slowly creeped up. Then Dr. McGrew recommended this program and our health has improved tremendously. Due to weight loss, both of our blood pressure readings have dropped since the start. It has been such a wonderful experience, and I know we will be successful in keeping it off. So far we have lost a combined total of 77 lbs (I have lost 49 lbs and Jonnie has lost 28 lbs). WE FEEL GREAT!!!!

I started starving myself at age 12, with my very first fad diet. That began my yo-yo lifestyle which spanned 37 years of money wasted on diet and exercise books, pills, videos, memberships, foods, and more importantly, precious time wasted obsessing and disliking myself!You name it, I have tried almost everything, including hypnosis, but the weight would always creep back on. At age 40, my body finally started to rebel, with numerous issues including foot problems, arthritis, anemia, allergies, digestive issues, and hypothyroid disease. Finally, in 2009, my always low cholesterol came in at a shocking 270!With teenage kids, I knew I had a lot of life to live, wanting to be around to see them reach adulthood, and to someday play with future grand-babies! I was praying for a solution, and just after launching my latest diet, I met Sue, who said she had lost 70 pounds really fast, without starving!I started the program and after easily losing 12 lbs the first month, I was so enthused, I joined on as a coach to help others who have struggled as I have. I have so far lost 70 lbs in 6 months and as a result of weight loss, cholesterol has dropped to 162! Learning healthy habits for life while eating delicious foods, and coaching others to success on the same path has benefited me- mind, body, and soul, and also gave me a fulfilling and flexible new career! This program is a treasure to be shared!

All my life I heard, "She has such a pretty face if she could just lose weight". Thus began my life of yo-yo dieting. I'd go down and then up even more. I had resigned myself to being a "big girl". Busting out of size 16W, with unbearable pain in my knees, hips, and back. I felt hopeless and what I imagined being 90 years old might feel like. Thankfully a dear friend had the love to tell me about how this program worked. Thinking I knew everything about every diet, I was skeptical to give it a try. I set the skepticism aside, and I lost 5 lbs in my first week. I had energy like I had never experienced before. Soon the pain went away and I lost 52 lbs in 4 months.

Today I am wearing size 6-8 and never knew shopping for clothes could be so much fun. In all of my excitement for this new life I have, I have become a coach to pass this on to others who feel hopeless, much like I did. They are now realizing the benefits of getting healthy and buying new wardrobes too!

For years after having my first son I had not been able to lose the weight that I had put on. I felt so powerless and had desperately tried almost every fad diet that had came out over the years and always failed at them miserably. My really good friend who had been struggling as well tried this program and lost over 60lbs! So, I gave it a chance even though I was doubtful it would work for me. I was so amazed and pleased how easy this was for me! I lost 45lbs in 4 months! I was skinnier than I had ever been before! I was always a (size 6 to size 8) before having children and could never get any smaller in size no matter what I tried. Now I am a size 2! I am smaller than what I was when I was a teenager!My husband is in the military and had been overseas during the time I was on the program! He had no idea that I was on the program and had lost weight. He didn't even recognize me!Doing this program has not only helped me to lose weight but I have learned healthy habits that will keep me thin for the rest of my life and for that I will be forever grateful for this program and for the support of my Health Coach. I am so excited for the opportunity to pay it forward and help coach others to do the same!

StephanieI suffer from PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) and let me tell you! For the 10+ years that I was childbearing or nursing, the symptoms were MUCH better, but when my youngest stopped nursing a couple years ago, the symptoms returned with a vengeance! I refused hormone treatment (didn't like the way it made me feel). I found this program and it has changed my life (in so many ways)! I've lost 135 lbs. and I still want to lose another 50+ lbs, but I can't believe how good I feel!

After turning 35 and having spent a weekend with my friends I saw pictures of me posted on Facebook and thought “do I really look THAT bad?”I knew right then I had to do SOMETHING! That something I was unsure of yet, until I saw a post from an acquaintance on Facebook about how she had found this amazing program, blah, blah, blah, my first thought was yeah whatever, butI told her I wanted more info on it just to see what it was. Keep in mind I knew this person but I didn’t KNOW her so I was a little nervous for the call. When she called me and told me about it, sounded a bit to good to be true, but I thought what the heck, I am not out anything for trying it, and I can send it back if I hate it. So I signed up!!!!

On March 16th, 2010 I started this process, still thinking to myself this is NEVER going to work for me that I will be that exception... Day 1 was pretty easy I was pumped to do this and I was so worried I was going to screw it up it kept my mind occupied of it... Day 2 was a bit harder but I made it through... Day 3 oh gosh, at this point I was thinking what the heck have I gotten myself into here. I was crabby, hungry, tired but I thought I have to at least give this a week.... Day4 I woke up and felt different. I had energy like you wouldn’t believe, I wasn’t hungry , nor was I crabby. I was hooked from there on. Now don’t get me wrong, we all have days but I never gave up.... So brings me to my first weigh in day I lost 5 POUNDS my first week, I was so excited I wanted more and more. Then it happened, people started noticing at about 25 pounds, keep in mind I had said nothing to anyone except my husband and a couple good friends, I didn’t want to fail and have people be like think she couldn’t do it AGAIN, I had long felt I was doomed to be fat, it was in my genes there was no changing it. When I would go out I was the fat girl, most of my friends were smaller than me, I had learned to accept that. So for me people noticing was very strange and I didn’t really know what to say, I could no longer keep it a secret!!!

Fast forward to now, I have lost 75 POUNDS! I never in a million years thought I would be saying that. I feel fabulous, it is so fun to shop now, instead of saying can you bring me a bigger size I have to say can you bring me a smaller size!!!!!

Both Mike and I had worked on trying to lose weight and be healthy, and we thought we were doing all we could but we continued to gain and get bigger no matter what we tried. Mike's doctor was continually telling him he needed to do something more to get out of the danger zone with his cholesterol. He would try to eat better and exercise, but his cholesterol was still very high. Finally, I found this program, began to lose weight quickly and I felt amazingly energetic. I wasn't hungry and was losing inches immediately. Mike decided to give it a go, and within 1 month due to weight loss, his high cholesterol went into the "normal" range! We both lost pounds and inches in 10 weeks. He lost 45 and I lost 25lbs. I (Heidi) went from a tight size 12 to a 2, Mike went from a 36 to a 32 inch waist and a 17" neck to a 15 1/2". We've continued to keep the weight off after 2.5 years and with this program, we intend to stay healthy for life!

I have lost a total of 33 lbs and I feel great, never better, and am loving life. I love the way I am fitting into my clothes now and love being lighter on my feet! I am also loving being a lot faster rider on my bicycle! You can do it too!

I'd always been fat... fattest girl in grade school, fattest girl in high school, fattest girl in college, at my friend's weddings... and on and on.... you get the picture! Sure, I'd lost weight before, but always gained it back with a little more added on - it has truly been a life-long struggle! Then I had a health scare at the end of last year and decided it was time to get myself healthy! At 59 years old, I quit smoking and started this incredible weight loss program and haven't looked back! I've lost almost 65 pounds in 7 months and have never felt better in my life.... it's easy, fast, affordable and most importantly - healthy! My goal had always been to be a "number", whether it was a size in clothing or a certain weight, I'd get to that number... but then what?? Since I had no goal left, I just got fat again! Well, not this time! My goal now is to be healthy... that's a goal that will be with me forever and ever. No more fat girl.... thanks to this program and my Health Coach, I'm just plain healthy and feel like a million bucks!!

I grew up eating traditional “soul food”, collard greens, fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, creamed corn and my mother’s famous peach cobbler, and upside down pineapple cake, need I say more. I also love “junk food”. I didn’t struggle with my weight, but I didn’t feel healthy either. My mother suffered with uncontrollable high blood pressure and was forced into early retirement.I wanted to have a different outcome. I started the program in May 2010 and by the end of June I lost 10 pounds and reached my ideal weight of 125 lbs. My needing to lose 10 lbs. was no harder or easier than someone needing to loose 50 or more lbs. My legacy for my children is that they can choose habits that support health. I am amazed at how easy it was to lose the weight and now to keep it off. I can’t believe I wake up wanting to exercise, and I feel good.

At 5 ft. 11 in., I had never had a weight problem. As a mother of two in my early 20s, I lost all my weight and was back to normal in no time. When I became a mother two more times in my 30s, it didn’t come off so easily! In fact, I just keep putting on a few more pounds each year until I found myself 50 pounds overweight!As a busy, working mother of four, I didn’t have the time to spend so much focused energy on choosing, monitoring, and preparing all the healthy foods required to lose weight, and still cook for a family. I tried a couple of ‘diets’ but they didn’t work for me long term, because I just ran out of steam.This program was my answer! With almost no prep time, NO exercise on my part(although I know exercise is very important to cardio and overall health), I could eat healthy and feel full, without cravings. I lost 50 pounds in 5 months! I look and feel like my old self again.

It seems like I’ve spent my entire adult life on a quest for a healthy weight without pills or shots but by simply adopting good habits that I could manage forthe rest of my life. Sometimes I would get results but they never lasted, sending me in to the “why bother” mindset until the next time. Down deep I’ve always thought of myself as a thin and healthy person so I’d try again....and again. This time I’ve found what was missing in every other program and it is the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced! After seeing my results, my husband joined me on the program and we each lost 20 pounds in 60 days. Since then, we’ve both lost an additional 10 pounds. It’s so easy and we both FEEL so much better! It’s hard to express the gratitude I feel for this program and all of the tools we need to stay at our healthy weight... for the rest of our lives.

Chubby child, overweight teen, obese adult... My weight has always been an issue, but it never really affected my health until I hit the big 5-0! Then as the years added up so did the health issues; high blood pressure, gastro-intestinal issues, anxiety attacks, insomnia, back pain, foot pain, chronic bronchitis which many times went to full blown pneumonia. As I struggled to manage one flight of stairs to the other half of my house I thought to myself...is this what the "golden years" are going to be like? Here I am a 60 year old, tipping the scale at 284 pounds and all I can see in my future is more pain and less of lifes enjoyment! Then one day last Oct I got an email from my BFF (best friend forever) Brenda. We have known each other for over 37 years and though we live a state away, we have the kind of friendship where we "just know" when we need one another. I believe that is the reason Brenda sent me her picture showing me what she had been "up to". Oh My Goodness.... she looked wonderful! It was then she told me about this program and here I am 103 pounds lighter- and due to weight loss my health is so much better! My medication for high blood pressure was reduced by my doctor. I now can fly up and down my stairs as if I had wings! Other perks? Oh yes there are: shopping inregular clothing stores; fitting comfortably in airline seats with extra room on theseat belt; my energy level is "over the top" ; AND I FEEL GREAT! My thanks to- my BFF for knowing it was time for me to "take control of my health"; this program ; and the total support of my husband (who loves me no matter what my size) . With all of this wonderful love and support how could I do anything but succeed in my goal.

Over the last 18 months I packed on over 40 lbs. After seeing my picture with one of my daughters at her high school graduation I knew it was time to do something. A friend told me about the program and I signed up. I not only blew past my goal of 40 lbs and lost 53 lbs in 15 weeks, I feel great. My wife joined, myMom, Dad Sister and a Son all joined. This has changed my life for the better. I am at my high school weight and I feel great. I love this Program and it was the easiest thing I have ever done.

I have struggled with my weight my entire life. Shortly after I got married I gained about 50 pounds. I read every book and tried every diet, but I just ended up losing and gaining the same 10-15 pounds over and over again for 12 years. My goal was to just reach a healthy weight; I wasn't being unrealistic, but was disappointed again and again. Then I was diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma...my health became much more important to me so I contacted my health coach. I really thought this would be just another diet that I would fail. I told her I'd try it for 1 month and see how it went...I am SO thankful I did! I have lost 60 pounds and 31 inches of fat, but I have never been happier or felt healthier. There is so much more to this program than just weight loss. Now, for me, weight loss is the bonus to the support and feeling of health and happiness I experience every day. I'd been hiding, and now I have confidence that I thought I'd never get back.

I was so excited to learn about this program! I had been pretty fit all my life until about 10 years ago when I had several surgeries over the course of about 5 years that each had me laid up in bed. My darling husband brought me goodies to eat because he felt bad for me and the pounds packed on. I tried for 4 years to lose the weight, spent a fortune on gimmicks and tried all the fad diets. I thought it was a hopeless situation for me and that I would forever be a size 24 and weigh 231 or more the rest of my life. This program changed my life! With my weight gain, I was also told that my cholesterol was too high and that I would need to start taking meds for that. I have hypoglycemia, which will turn into diabetes, which runs in my family, if I did not lose weight as well, so I would have to take meds for that.

I have lost over 80 pounds and kept it off for a year now, and I wear a size 8! If I had not found this amazing program that literally melted the fat right off my body, I would still be feeling helpless and bad about myself plus have to take unnecessary medications! Thank goodness this wonderful program helped me change my life and find optimal health for myself.Now I want to help others achieve that same thing in their lives! I love helping others and when your body is healthy, your mind follows!

But more importantly I’m going to help you jump into the driver’s seat of your life, grab the wheel, and put the pedal to the metal and it’s going to feel so good!In my late 30’s I found myself overweight, miserable, and obese. I knew my family loved me but when I looked in the mirror I barely recognized myself anymore. I constantly thought about losing weight and had tried so many times before unsuccessfully. I remember the breaking point, on the day when I tried to put on my biggest size pair of pants and could barely fit in them. In that moment I knew I was not staying the same, I was getting larger. The thought of buying even bigger clothes was upsetting and I didn’t know what to do. That’s when I got on my knees and pleaded to God that he would help me. I told him I didn’t trust myself with food anymore and I needed someone to show me the way, otherwise, I was going to give up on trying to lose weight until all of my children grew up and moved out. Keep in mind that my youngest was 1 at the time so that was a ways out! That week a friend shared with me what she had done to lose weight 4 years earlier.Fast forward a short time later. I lost 60 lbs. quickly and found myself at a healthy weight again. I also learned how to create an advancing pattern of health in my life.I experienced so much joy from this that it spilled onto every area of my life! I want to teach you how to do the same thing. I want to give you the tools to bridge the gap between were you are now and where you want to be.Now you can also get you started on living your life deliberately as you always suspected you could!

My wife came home one day and told me that she wanted me to check out a weight loss program. She had been wanting me to lose weight, but I wasn't motivated. I decided to give it a try to make her happy. I was really happy with just how simple it was. I lost 20 pounds the first month, just by changing how and what I ate. After I had lost about 30 pounds, I felt good enough to start to going to the gym. It took me nine months to lose 100 pounds. I really feel great and have so much more energy now.

I did not feel like I could lose the weight when I started this program. It was just one more "diet" to try one more thing to say, " oh that thing doesn’t work." Trustme when I say I have tried them all. After the first week I lost 5 lbs and then the second week another 5 lbs. I realized that there was something out there that would work. I believe this is the best program. I have lost a total of 75 lbs and have been able to keep it off for two years. I definitely needed an easy program that I did not have to think about. I also needed something that would take the weight off quickly so I did not get bored with it. I do not get bored when someone tells me how great I look! Many people ask me if they can do that too and will it work for them - YES. It is that easy!!!!!

After moving to the big city and having a schedule with no time for planning meals, I found that I had gained 30 extra lbs. My parents had lost 50 and 85 pounds on this health program almost 3 years earlier, and I thought I would give it a try. In just 7 weeks I had lost 30 pounds and had the energy to keep up with my schedule. And the best part was that I only had to think of 1 meal a day. I was saving time, money, and my health.

I have never been able to stick to any eating plan, and had decided I was a hopeless food-a-holic! I had ZERO self-control or willpower. When friends of ours called out of the blue one day, the subject of health came up. We discovered that the husband of the couple had lost 107 lbs. Although I had no belief this program would work for me (I had just finished failing yet another plan) I thought I would give it a try... mainly to keep my story straight that "I have tried EVERYTHING!" In the first week, I lost weight...but more miraculous was...I was still doing it! I had never lasted a week doing ANYTHING before! 15 weeks later, I had lost 50 pounds and went from wearing size 20 to size 10.

I noticed my wife was losing weight like crazy on the program and I was tired of looking fat and not being fit so I started the program and lost a lot of weight! I lost 50 lbs. I am so happy now that I can wear the size clothes I want to wear. Now when I exercise my body responds so much better and it's easier to do everything. I feel great and more confident in reaching any goal I set my mind to.

Well, I'd finally reached the point where I was so sick of being fat and getting "the lecture" at my doctor's office that I was beginning to consider lap band/weight loss surgery. I had never been this heavy in my entire life and it had begun to affect my sleep habits, my health, and certainly my self esteem. I had already tried every diet under the sun but had never been able to get the weight off and keep it off!! I got a call from my friend who told me about her success on this new program so I decided to give it a try... All I can say is WOW!! I lost 5 pounds in my first week, and have now lost 35 pounds total!! I've gone from a Size 18 all the way down to a Size 6 and feel absolutely fantastic!! As a result of weight loss, my triglycerides have gone from 317 down to 146, and my blood pressure has come down out of the scary range and back into the healthy normal range!!

I celebrated my 50th birthday at my heaviest weight ever, and was concerned about my health, being a breast cancer survivor. I knew that diet was the leading cause of cancer. So when I had a friend lose 90 lbs and look fantastic, I decided to take a leap of faith and try ONE MORE thing. I lost 5 lbs in the first 7 days! Amazing! I've lost 48 lbs, and am at my lowest weight in 25 years! My joints don't hurt anymore and I'm loving life!

I have always been overweight. When I got married, my husband and I would try to eat healthy, and we did pretty good. We would eat our fruits and veggies, didn't keep junk food in the house... but despite my exercise and attempts at healthy eating, nothing made a difference. After a couple of pregnancies, it only got worse. I finally decided I wanted to be a healthy mom, and got with my friend who I knew lived a healthy lifestyle and helped others do the same. I've lost over 60 pounds now, and am 45 pounds lighter than when I got married!

I have lost over 50 pounds and have kept it off. I decided I needed to make a change after a visit with a friend and she said “We are just big girls, and we always will be big girls.” I thought yowza, I wasn’t always a big girl, I don’t want to be a big girl now or ever again and started researching my options. I joined this program the following week and I am so happy that I did. My “big girl” friend decided to lose weight with this program after she saw my success. I included my before and after pictures so you can see it really is me and this really did work!

My weight loss journey started when I tipped the scale at 330 pounds. I was extremely obese and I did not want to live my life that way. I went on many different diets and I had many personal trainers at the gym but nothing seemed to work. My cousin Jenn was on a diet but it had been months since I had talked to her or seen her. When I finally did see her I was in shock because she had lost so much weight! Jenn and I have always been around the same weight so I had to know how she did it. That’s when I found out about this program. I knew eventually I wanted to get married and have kids. I wanted to be able to take my kids to the park and slide down the slide with them, or take them to amusement parks and ride the rides with them, and not sit on the sidelines and just wave to them. I wanted to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing, I wanted to be able to go outside and play a game of dodge ball with the kids at my work, but most of all I wanted to just be truly happy. I wanted to do a lot with my life and at the rate I was going with my weight I didn’t know how long I would be around. I woke up November 20, 2006, and decided that today was the day I was going to start. Yes, it sounds crazy, who would start something three days before Thanksgiving, but I figured if I could get through the holidays I could get through anything! As the weeks went by I was dropping weight quickly. I felt amazing. I was getting new clothes, people at work and school were starting to notice, and I felt great. It wasn’t until I had lost 121 pounds, and everything started to sink in. I walked into the doctor’s office that day and he told me it was time to see my “before” picture. I stared in disbelief with tears streaming down my face. I was sitting there at 209 pounds for the first time, saying “I DID IT!” No one else did it but me. That was the first time in many years that I have ever been truly proud of myself. I knew I still had a ways to go but taking it a day at a time I would make it! I knew that it took me years to put on all this weight and it would definitely take some time to get it all off.Now when I look at my “before” pictures at 330 pounds and my current pictures at 170 pounds (160 pound weight loss), I look so unhappy in the “before” pictures. I was happy on the outside but deep down I was miserable about my weight. I get upset with myself knowing that I had let myself go so far out of control. My dreams have come true! I got married June, 2008 to Adam, a wonderful man serving our Country in the U.S Army. Working out and watching my daily food intake has paid off. It is the best feeling in the world to have your family and friends proud of you. I know I did it for myself, but I did it for them as well because I wanted to be around for them and I knew if I did not succeed at this I probably would not be here today.

I started my journey to lose 247lbs. I was scared that I couldn’t do it and that I would have to resort surgery at the time I was on 75 Units of Insulin in the morning and at night. I knew I had the weight to lose, it was making me tired, I couldn’t walk without a walker or move well at all. I love to eat and I missed fast food but by I stuck to it and lost 162 lbs in 1 year!! I had made it a year with 85lbs to go to goal. I hadn’t had a hamburger in a year!

To date, I have lost 246 lbs. Traveling has become fun again I can’t believe how easy it is to go places; I don’t have to worry if I can get where I need to go. As a result of weight loss, my doctor lowered my insulin. I am constantly amazed howour plan works; it has become easier to lead a healthy life and I feel in control. I still want all those things I used to eat but it doesn’t haunt me all day long as in the past. My journey has not been easy nor have I reached my destination but now I know that I can reach all of my goals. My motto “Walk the Journey - Lose the Weight.”

I have to say that even though I have been able to lose weight before, never has the weight came off so fast and so easy. I remember going to bed hungry in the past but with this program, I almost had to force myself to eat that last meal because I was not hungry. Now I am 40 pounds lighter! Even in my transition I lost 8 pounds. This program is unlike all the other times when I lost my "extra" weight. Before when I went off the diets, I had no idea how to keep it off and started putting the weight back on, rather quickly. This time it is very different. I now know how to eat right and now look at food completely different. I have control over the food now and I love it. I have been in maintenance for a couple weeks now and I am doing great! I really feel that this is going to be the "new me" for life.

I have always been slightly overweight most of my life. As I got older, and after having three kids, I guess you would consider me, definitely overweight. Then, life happened, and the pounds really packed on! For the first time in my life, I was considered ‘obese’ and it was very difficult to face. I tried some diets, and just plain exercising myself to death, all of which did not help me lose weight. I kept gaining. I finally threw my hands up in surrender, to accept that this was my reality, and I was still a happy person, despite my weight.The problem was, that my back started hurting, I wasn’t able to get around very easily, because I was always out of breath and tired. My husband was very worried about my health, because he could always hear me breathing hard up the stairs, and I would snore very loudly at night. The doctor also kindly mentioned that I would become diabetic type 2 very soon, if I didn’t do something. It was a frightening prognosis, because I didn’t think I could do anything. It seemed like I tried the most realistic options for me.Then one day, I found my coach who said she could help me lose weight. I called her up and started the program in desperation. But, I truly felt skeptical that it would work. It seemed easy enough, and I liked the fact that I would have my own ‘personal’ (and free!) health coach to help me every step of the way. I felt like I needed a lot of help! Best part seemed, like I got to eat all day, and not be hungry etc. After a few days on program, everything ‘happened’ that she said would happen. I no longer craved the bad foods I used to, I did not feel hungry, and I felt a new sense of well-being and energy I never thought I could have again. I quickly lost 65 lbs (in four months!) And to date, I have lost 80 lbs!! I have kept this up for a year now, and it, honestly, has never been easier to keep the weight off! As a result of weight loss, I stopped snoring, back no longer hurts... on and on!

Hi, everyone my name is Eric, and I am 31 years old. Last year I happened to weigh 354 pounds. My eating habits were horrible and out of control. So I went to the doctor’s office, because I was worried about getting Diabetes. The doctor said I had pre diabetes, at the rate I was going I was going to get diabetes. I went to the gym and tried everything. So in the 6 months I lost only 34 pounds. Then I maintained for a few months. Out of nowhere the opportunity came to me, I was introduced to this great program. On the program I have lost 76 lbs pounds! The best part so far is that I got a free health coach. I am also learning how to maintain my weight for the long-term. Now I am at 239 pounds. This program is so awesome and easy. I feel more energy than I have ever felt before. I have learned how to eat right for life. Now I feel a lot happier. If I can doit, anyone can!

I lost 30 pounds in 2 months! I was introduced to this program at Thanksgiving 2007. I had always wanted to be a dietitian and was fascinated at how food affects peoples moods and weight. I am 6 ft.1in. and a grandmother of8. I have exercised many years to stay healthy but my weight has remained the same. I had resigned that I would be a size 16. I have never been able to lose this kind of weight! Each week the scale would go down 2-3 pounds. As my weight went from the 170s to the 160s I could tell my pants were getting baggy. So I ordered size 14 pants. I got addicted to the scale going down. My friends from church noticed my size changing and have joined me in being a "big loser".I love helping people get healthy and lose weight. Now at 145 pounds I wear a size 10. Thank you for giving me my "teenage" body back.
