From Out of Breath to Unstoppable: 117 Pounds Down

I started off at 287 and now I’m down to 170. When I started this program, I was at my heaviest. I struggled, of course, with just regular everyday things like going up the steps. I was out of breath. I wasn’t able to do a lot of things that I can do now. I would lose weight, put it back on, and I was just tired of that. I wanted to get to a point where I could be healthier and maintain it. So many other programs wanted you to cut out everything. Metabolic made more sense. I think it’s more realistic because you can still have carbs in moderation.

When I first started the program, doing that base at first, I still was seeing results and feeling better. We Zoom two days a week with Jackie, and I like that because it’s easier to do something if you have some support from somebody else. That support made a difference for me. If you mess up, you get back on track. You don’t stay there. I do Zumba three to four times a week now. You know, things that might have limited me with my size, they’re not a problem anymore. I’m able to do things now that I wasn’t able to do before, and I feel better.

You might be nervous or fearful, but this program’s truly changed my life. I’m happy that I was able to be a part of the Metabolic family and for all the support and encouragement. I wanted to get healthier, maintain it, and stop going through the cycle of losing weight and putting it back on. Now, I’m down from 287 to 170, and things that once limited me are not a problem anymore. The support—you know, if you mess up, you get back on track. You don’t stay there. They truly are changing people’s life.
