Released 49 pounds

About three years ago, I started to gain about 10 pounds a year. I remember being told that this is what happens after you hit thirty years, so I justified it. The realization that I needed to do something was when I got my blood markers back in April of 2008 and my cholesterol and triglycerides were really high and my blood pressure was through the roof. I had to do something.
When I graduated, my wife and I decided to buckle down and really get serious about our health. Since we were eating healthily, or so I thought because of what I learned in my single nutrition class in college, I was determined that we just needed to move more.
We joined a gym in January 2009. We worked out at least five days a week and I burned 700 calories a day and at the end of the first month I had lost about 6 pounds. At that rate I figured it would take me until around the end of June to reach my goal weight of 180 pounds.
This was my plan until my wife learned about The Healthy Edge lifestyle program. She dragged me to the introductory seminar. While she was excited to get started, I still felt I knew everything I needed to know due to my Health Enhancement degree. I decided to support her and participate in the program.
We implemented The Healthy Edge lifestyle with a 100% conviction, and I had reached my goal weight, three months earlier than what I had estimated. Since beginning The Healthy Edge, I have released over 49 pounds, 13 pounds beyond my initial goal. I began at 26% body fat and now I am at 15%, which is average for men, and my blood pressure is within normal range. At 32, I feel healthier than I did when I was in high school! Thank you Healthy Edge!
