Last June, when my husband Terry came home and, out of the blue announced that he had just joined U Weight Loss™, I was happy but surprised. I read over the information package and saw that U Weight Loss™ had a Family Plan. Then, after Terry broke the record and lost 15 lbs during the first week, I decided to jump on the bandwagon too!
Terry wanted to lose 70 lbs and I wanted 40 lbs off. I have struggled with my weight since childhood, Terry, since he met me 20 years ago.
Right from the beginning, the girls in the Clinic were friendly, interested and supportive. We had a lot of laughs over my quiet husband dropping weight in record time like the proverbial hare, while I struggled along like the tortoise, yakking all the way. Sometimes our young daughter came in with us. Great way to keep you honest, as they will tell every deviation or cheat they see!
Before our meals, we faithfully took our supplements as recommended through the different phases of the program and felt great. In Phase 1, the Natural Cleanse rid our bodies of toxins and cravings, increased our energy and helped prevent us from overeating. Phase 2, Metabolic Booster, offered key ingredients that helped reduce the absorption of carbs and fats from the food we ate, kept our hormones balanced and out sugar levels low after meals so our bodies wouldn't store energy as fat. Phase 3, Accelerator/Reduce, boosted our metabolism, kept our blood sugar balanced and targeted the tummy area - my bad spot. We both have felt strong and healthy - not even a single cold during the whole program!
We have all enjoyed the delicious, balanced meals. Terry's the cook in our house as he gets home before me. The recipes are quick and easy - the Hearty Chicken Chili and Beef Fajitas are two of our family favorites. And our girls were thrilled that we could still go to McDonald's and Tim Hortons for an occasional dinner treat!
We both reached our goals on December 19th - a wonderful tie! We celebrated the holidays and, with the U Loss staff support, kept on track. We have begun the new year with the envy of anyone making weight loss their New Year's Resolution.
Terry has bumped into former colleagues who didn't even recognize him. I went shopping with my mom and she actually lost track of me and started following that heavier set woman, thinking it was me!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be less than a size 12. On my last shopping trip I had to try on the size 6 because the size 8 was too baggy! I laughed until I cried - what a dream come true.
This healthy, hearty eating is a family lifestyle for us now. Terry and I both have so much more energy and, as a family, we have become more active, trying new sports and activities.
Thank you, U Weight Loss™, for our healthier, happier family!
