Jeffrey's Weight Loss Story!

 When did you become unhappy with your weight?

Its been ongoing for many years.

 What made you decide to lose weight?

My wife was diagnosed with cancer. I was afraid my children would be alone. I did it for my family and myself.

 What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?

I changed my attitude. Its NOT a diet, its a lifestyle change. The first thing that needs to change is the MIND and the rest will follow.

 What was most challenging about losing weight?

The fear of how long its going to take. Its scary when you are so big and you know its going to take a while.

 How long did it take you to start to see results?

A few months.

 How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?

25 months.

 How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?

I continue to eat normal. 3 meals a day with healthy snacks. I have incorporated exercise into my program. I eat normal. No magic formula!

 How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?

I am now 45 years young. I feel wonderful!
