Success Story > The Incredible Shrinking Couple

  • In September of 2004 my Doctor discovered that I had Insulin Resistance. This is a medical problem
dealing with sugar levels. In my situation this meant that my pancreas produced 5x the normal amount of sugar every time I ate. This had me about 140lbs over weight in 6 years. I have 2 children that I couldn't keep up with or play with. It's scary when you look in the mirror and don't recognize who you see….
  • After about 3 weeks of trying to correct this problem on my own I was unsuccessful and needed help.
My doctor had given me the name of a nutritionist so I could get some assistance and their name was Just Results. So I pulled out the reference and called. My first appointment was in October 2004. I was very scared of what they would say, but I knew I needed someone who could point me in the direction to change my life for good... I am a very secure person who had 6 years of many doctors telling me, “There was nothing wrong just exercise.” I had many tests done & considered myself to be the healthiest overweight person around. Since my daughter was born in 1998, I just got bigger and bigger and bigger. I had tried every diet plan, exercise plan, quick fix & drastic measure's to change but nothing worked. I remember talking to Holly and feeling so embarrassed, my eyes filled when we first spoke because I was thinking "I've been down the road of false hope before and I didn't know if I could take any more heart ache"After a few visits I began to believe & became more comfortable to trust this new process & what they were going to teach me. They also were very comfortable working with my medical condition. They had confidence that we would work through this. 
  • I remember the first step was to change my eating habits- One step at a time. I didn't start exercising
until a little over a month later then I gradually added walking in.
  • 2 months had past and I was down 37 pounds. This I still did not believe until one day my husband was
looking at me from across the room and asked me "how are you doing this? How can you have all of this energy and you don't even have caffeine?" Since my insulin was extremely high I had to take all measures to decrease my numbers before my pancreas stopped working all together. This included cutting out caffeine, sugar, fruit & starchy carbohydrates. I answered my husband stating "I really wasn't sure?" This was the first time that I thought about the change that was taking place in my life. This was from following the Just Results program. We discussed the options of him participating in the program and agreed that we all can learn how to take care of ourselves better why not!
  • He came with me on my next appointment. He has been lifting weights since he was a kid

  • and really wasn't sure if he could learn anything new from Just Results. He met with Holly & Lori and was very impressed with the intelligence and knowledge that they shared with him.

  • We have gone together and individually depending on our schedules since. We have learned and keep learning many new things about ourselves. We have excelled in our training routine as well as our nutrition. They have given suggestions and ideas, do's & don't for each of us. During this year we have traveled a lot and remained successful with these new habits that we have developed.
  • Since my husbands training regimen has change so drastically, he now has a new goal and is working to compete in a bodybuilding contest. This is something he has wanted to do since he was a teenager and now will reach it with the assistance and dedication given to him by  Just Results
    • We have each past our 1 year mark and have been very successful. My husband has lost 70 pounds
    and gained 2o pounds of muscle. His waist went from a 44' to a 32'. He now has 16 weeks left until his competition and the changes have been and continue to amaze all of us.
    • I have lost 105 pounds and a total of 41.5 inches. I have dropped from a pants size 26
    to a comfortable size 14. I now have reached my struggling point. I want to loose 25 to 30 more. Now the holidays are over and I can concentrate on ME again, this is my new goal to reach by summer.

    We both have goals that we are working for and Just Results to thank. I have worked on this letter for over 3 weeks. I keep typing and retyping because I wanted to express how truly grateful I am to have my life back. We both feel healthier than we have in so long. I can run and play with my kids, there’s nothing that I won’t do now to enjoy every minute of our lives. There are things that we have always wanted to do but physically couldn’t. This March as a family we are going to go skiing for the first time. A year ago this seemed like such an impossible feat!  

     The words THANK YOU seem like two very small words for how deeply we feel for these two women and this program Just Results!!

    THANK YOU Lori & Holly for our new life!!!

     “The incredible shrinking couple”
