- 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”
