Together have released
over 100 pounds

now

By late 2000 I was fed up with being fat. Vowing to get back into the condition I was in when I was in the military, I set out on a physical training program with the assistance of a personal trainer. Over the next 9 months (and having spent $3,000 in personal training) I lost 70 pounds through one-hour workouts every morning and two-hour workouts every evening. I followed a very regimented and restrictive diet including fat burners and protein shakes.

I fit into sizes I hadn’t worn since early college. While I was very pleased with my success, my trainer warned me that if I didn’t learn to eat right, all that weight I had lost would come back. I didn’t listen and within 3 years I found the 70 pounds I lost and found some more along the way. I also had just been admitted to the hospital with a potential heart attack at age 41.

I needed to lose the weight or my life would be dramatically shortened. I was also suffering from an ulcer in my esophagus, cholesterol and blood pressure levels that were unreasonably high, and blood sugar levels that were rapidly headed towards diabetes, a disease that has taken several of my family members over the years.

Over the next 4 years I tried a number of diets and workouts without success. In May of 2008 my wife dragged me to a seminar about a lifestyle program which, to me, sounded like someone trying to get into my wallet. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

In five months, I released 55 pounds, my blood pressure dropped from 170/110 to 112/70 and my BMI went from 34% to 26%. I am sleeping through the night and have a cholesterol level that is well within normal. I have the energy when I get home to interact with my family without being an impossible bear. Because of The Healthy Edge lifestyle program, I am able to live a healthy lifestyle where I eat well, take a high quality supplement, have time with my family instead of at the gym, and still enjoy occasional treats without having an impact on my lifestyle.

Thank you, Healthy Edge, you may well have saved my life.
