Lynda's Weight Loss Success

Before I started OPTIFAST I was definitely overweight, 56 pounds overweight. And I perspired profusely. I was tired. I didn't want to go anywhere because of the way I looked and felt. And I knew something had to be done. There were three family members recently diagnosed with diabetes and I didn't want to be another statistic. I needed to be around to raise my young children. I saw a friend of mine from church that had been through the OPTIFAST program and she looked great. She told me about the program and I decided that if she can do it, I can do this.

Prior to starting OPTIFAST I had tried numerous diets but nothing worked and those that did work were entirely too slow. So I lost my motivation. With OPTIFAST I saw results immediately. The first week I lost eight pounds. Week number two, I lost four pounds. And every week, I was losing weight and that really motivated me to keep going, to be successful with the program, to come every week. I've lost a total of 56 pounds* and that was two years ago. I've kept the weight off because the OPTIFAST program is unique in that it's medically supervised. They give you that nutritional component, the nutritionist, the behaviorist that talk about why you eat the way you do. And then they give you a full understanding of this is how you need to eat. So it's a lifestyle change that they teach you and that has helped me to keep the weight off.

My children are swimmers and I am at the pool with my children four days out of the week. And it was very embarrassing for me the way that I looked in a swimsuit but I couldn't get around it. And since starting the OPTIFAST program and losing the weight, I feel great. As a matter of fact we recently had an intramural meet, the parents against the kids. I did great. I was able to do my laps. I felt wonderful.

The OPTIFAST program has given me a new lease on life. I feel great. I believe I look great. Now, I'm very energetic, I love to go places. I have clothes to wear. I feel great. I'm a better wife, I'm a better mother, and a better nurse. I can keep up with my children now and I feel wonderful!
