Real Weight Loss Stories

The Cycle Has
Been Broken!

Tawnya Andrews Before

My name is Tawnya Andrews. I am 41 and live in Lakewood, WA. I have been up and down with my struggle with weight all my life. I have spent thousands of dollars on different weight loss programs. Oh sure, I got the results I wanted- for a “minute” and the attention that goes with it. But I always gained it back and more.

What was always missing for me was lack of proper weight loss coaching to tell me that I needed to heal the deeper issues beyond the weight. I needed to address my self image in order to RELEASE the weight and keep it off. With The Healthy Edge weight loss coaches, I had HUGE revelations when I learned and accepted that it wasn’t my fault. I learned about insulin resistance and how it can make it difficult to lose the weight.

My Healthy Edge Story

In January of 2008, on a trip to the doctor’s office, I discovered my weight to be close to 240 pounds. This was the most I had ever weighed in my life. I had spent the previous year starting a dessert business baking and selling gourmet cheesecake. All the sampling I did went to my waistline and every other part of my body as well! I decided it was time to get out of the kitchen and take control of my health with your weight loss coaching!

Breaking the Cycle
of Diabetes

Lisa Hollis

My name is Lisa Hollis, I am 46 years old. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 1996. Diabetes runs in my family. My mother had Type 2 Diabetes and my niece was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 6 years old. When I was diagnosed my mother had just passed away the same year from a heart attack due to complications from Diabetes. Heart problems and high cholesterol also run in my family. I thought, “wow, I am just like my mom I only have 15 -20 more years to live and I will die at a young age just like she did”. I have just been going through life taking about 10-15 different prescriptions per day along with testing my blood 4 or 5 times daily. Eating whatever I wanted to and taking higher dose of insulin to compensate my high blood sugars just like my mom did.

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 and weight loss coach. 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

now

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
