David's Story

Learning that some friends already on an MRC program were losing weight and seeing results quickly definitely got my attention. The final straw, so to speak, was when my doctor diagnosed me with Type III hypertension (high blood pressure). I knew it was time to make a change. I needed to get healthy; plus I was missing the backpacking and hiking that I enjoyed.

I won't lie, I had hesitations before getting started. I loved to eat...a lot! Overindulgence and a lack of portion control were two of my best friends. I was assured in my consultation that I’d learn to overcome these unhealthy eating habits without feeling deprived of food. I decided to give it a try.

Thirty two weeks later I'm down 90.5 pounds and 66.25 inches. I can proudly say, “I look good in my own skin!” I get compliments all the time, and people tell me how proud they are of my commitment and my accomplishments! By learning good eating habits, I’m actually saving money on my food bill. I’m so much more self aware, and I’m set to keep this weight off for life!

My words of wisdom to you would be to stick to your plan! It’s critical to your immediate success and it will motivate you to long term success! The protein supplements are delicious - try the Lemon Wafers and the Super Fruit & Veggi Mix. If you ever have “one of those days” where you feel a little deflated, just take a moment to reflect on the reason you started your journey in the first place. For me, it was for my health and for my family. I wanted to be an example for my kids and show them what healthy eating looks like. Let that reignite your fire and passion for whatever it is that you want out of weight loss. Don't give up; you deserve this!
