"Wow truly " Grumpy," because I did not feel right in my own skin. I let myself go, always feeling like the stress, the business travel, and the time spent growing a business were reasons for my weight. I found these were actually excuses, not reasons. I weighed 302 pounds in the picture on the left, which was taken the first day my wife, and I joined this program. I know it is not typical, but I lost 17 pounds the first week. The picture on the right was taken on October 12th, after four weeks of transition. I weighed 196 when the picture was taken, and I feel like a million dollars! I visited my doctor seven weeks ago, and I weighed 209 on his scales. When he came in the room, he said, " I am sorry, I must be in the wrong room! " As a result of my healthy lifestyle, he took me off blood pressure and cholesterol medications the day of my visit. He asked how much more I wanted to lose. I turned that around on him, saying, " you are the doctor, how much more do you want me to lose? He said if I weighed 200, he would be the happiest doctor in Columbus. Well, I have been at 196 for three of the four weeks I have been transitioning. I go back to see him for an annual physical in about three weeks. This program is life changing for me. I went from a tight size 48 slacks, and 2X shirts to a comfortable fit size 36 slacks, and a size large shirt. My knees do not hurt any more, and I can keep up with the grand kids, even running with them! Thanks to my health coaches for keeping me on track, and providing inspiration to me along the way!"
