Why I Got Started
I was the heaviest I had ever been in my life at 228 pounds in September 2009. I knew I needed to do something different for a long time, but could not get up the gumption to try anything new.

How I Did It
I started this program with great skepticism. I could not see how eating six times a day and taking some vitamins would make me lose weight, but it did. After three months on the program I lost 31 pounds.

Some of the time was spent out of town during the challenge, but it was not hard to eat well due to proper planning the day before. Half the battle is preparing ahead of time. So when you’re looking for a snack you end up grabbing a tray of vegetables.

I’m not lethargic at lunch time anymore. I go to lunch, come back, and my body’s not shutting down because it’s so full and bloated.

I was never starving on this program. If I’m going to lose weight, it’s going to be while eating good food. The many meal planners e-mailed on a regular basis also helped with new ideas for healthy meals.

I do not like to go to the gym, but I managed to workout 11 times during the three months. I like to play sports for fun. I play recreation hockey and my lungs and body feel ten years younger this year compared to last year.

My energy level is high and consistent all day. I have not had that for years and will continue to see where the program leads me.

Now my back pain is a lot less. I have reduced my weekly consumption of one bottle of Tums to none, and I now have developed good eating habits thanks to my coach.
