“21 weeks later and 65 pound lighter I am performing my job 100% better, exercising and feeling better about myself.”
A little over a year ago I remarried after 20 years. A large portion of our leisure time was spent dining out as we tried to make sure we had at least 2 date nights weekly. I knew that I was putting on weight but wasn’t really worried about it as I was happy and enjoying my new life. Then I realized I was having a great deal of pain in my knees and then ankles, making working 12 hour shifts as a nurse almost impossible. I went to the doctor and found out not only had I developed arthritis but I had passed the 300 pound mark. I was told to decrease calories and exercise but it was all I could do to walk. I needed to do something quickly and surgery was not an option for me at this time.
After a search on the web, I found an OPTIFAST program through LifeStyle Weight Loss located in the Memphis, TN area. I was very familiar with the program and had known first hand the success of the program. So I have them a call and 21 weeks later and 65 pound lighter I am performing my job 100% better, exercising and feeling better about myself. The constant support and limited meal choices work for me I know exactly what I will consume today as well as a week from now leaving no margin for error. And for once I am not afraid that I will regain everything plus more because I gave the LifeStyle Weight Loss staff’s continued support when I am ready to transition and maintain my weight through the clinic’s Refocus (maintenance) program. I am looking forward to the possibility of having grandchildren someday and being able to walk through Disneyworld with them and fit on the rides!
