Client Success Stories

Vince lost 68 lbs!

My Health Coach and colleagues were great examples of how well the Take Shape For Life Program works... They inspired me!

I finally realized I needed to lose weight when I realized I was no longer among the 'non-sick.' Being overweight was always the main distraction in my life. Every morning I would be asking myself if this was the day I was finally going to start turning myself around. It was physically and mentally punishing.

I had always thought of myself as the 'healthiest fat guy around', but but after visiting my doctor in the spring of 2009, I knew I was wrong. I had to get needles and take blood thinners. That's when I knew the time had come to make a change.

I tried the plan where you count points and go to meetings, but that program didn't teach me about glycemic foods, avoiding empty calories, or how to choose foods that can sustain energy throughout the day.

Take Shape For Life was different. Within a week, I began to see results, and my transformation began. I cannot even tell you the reaction of my family and friends - their happiness at my success and the improvement in my relationships was more than I ever imagined.

Everything is easier, from workouts, to sleeping, to my general enjoyment of life. Today I'm feeling great! I still can't hit the golf ball as well as I'd like, but I am excited about finding my new swing in a thinner, healthier body.
