Success Stories

I thought that I would talk about some of the weight loss success stories that I read about. You can read about them on the HealthPlex web page.

I found that most of the stories had the same thing in common. Health. That is the same reason that I started my weight loss journey.

When Chris Johnson was in town one of the things that he talked about was finding your “Why”. Why do you want to lose weight. Health is a big why for most of the people that I read about.

Randy lost 166 lbs. Before he started he had three strokes and had a stent put in his heart and was diagnosed with type two diabetes.

Terri lost 50 lbs. Her family had a contest to see who could lose the most weight and she also wanted to look good for her daughters wedding.

The McCoy family lost a total weight of 121 lbs. He weighed over 300 lbs and she was about 60 lbs overweight. He was pre diabetic and the doctor told him that he needed to do something. The biggest reason that they had for losing weight was they wanted to be able to see their son grow up. That was their “Why”.

Karen lost 110 lbs. Her doctor told her she would be lucky to live to the age of fifty if she didn’t do something. That kind of hit home for me because I was headed in that direction too. I can’t think of a bigger “Why” than that.

I’m so very proud of these people for making the same choice as I have and sticking to it. These are just a few of the stories. The list goes on and on. I’m Proud to be included in this group of success stories. I want to end this by saying “ WE DID IT AND SO CAN YOU. “
