Day one: 10 lbs, 6 oz. Wow, that's a really healthy start.
Hi, my name is Irene and that's when my weight
challenges began. Having a mom who is the best cook ever fueled my love affair with
food. Food was my
constant companion. I have four older brothers who can eat anything that isn't nailed
down. Well, I soon found out that this rule did not apply to me.
At age 15, I started my first weight loss program in the form of prescription diet
pills. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I really didn't learn anything about proper
eating habits, so the weight came off and went back on plus some.
At age 22, when I was pregnant with my first child, my weight ballooned to well over
260 lbs. I was
mortified. Eating for two in my mind meant I could have as much as possible. It was
for the baby, right? I wasn't so lucky.
After the shock wore off, I decided I needed to do something. Enter weight loss
program number two: a well-known program that taught about portion control mixed
with exercise. It worked for a short time. Then when disappointment set in, the
cycle continued. Up and down, up and down went my weight.
At age 40, I found myself overweight, again! I was also diagnosed with hypertension,
full of aches and pains, dealing with the stress of divorce and overall, I was setting
a bad example for my kids.
Enter U Weight Loss™. I saw a billboard sign about the three secrets to weight loss.
My curiosity was peaked. I was skeptical at first, but made an appointment for a
consultation. After many questions, I was completely impressed by the knowledge of
the U Weight Loss™ staff.
With their balanced, personalized meal plans, I was given the
tools to take control of my weight loss goals and my eating habits. This motivated me
to be a better role model for my family and others.
In seven months, I lost 45.5 lbs and 62 inches.
I no longer suffer from hypertension, my aches and pains are gone and I have a new
self confidence. Friends have commented on my weight loss and after telling them about
my great success, some of them have also decided to join the program.
I realize that I will always be passionate about food and have weight challenges in my
life, but I need not face them alone. The U Weight Loss™ staff is always there to
listen, to encourage me and to motivate me to keep on track toward my ultimate goal.
