Jim's Story

I have dieted many times throughout the years and tried several different types of diets at which I failed miserably. In 2003 because of family health history and the facts that I was morbidly obese, had sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and joint problems, I had a gastric bypass. Through that process I lost 100 pounds and within two years I had gained 40 pounds back. At this time I was in size 40 jeans and large shirts; I wanted desperately to lose that weight. My beautiful wife heard the MRC commercial and suggested I check it out. I did and found the following:

The specialists at MRC are extremely supportive and give excellent advice. They have good backgrounds for weight loss - many have had their own trials and relate extremely well even to a fat old man! This is not a diet, nor a weight loss program. It is a lifestyle change. I chose to do the weight loss followed by a year-long maintenance program. I know myself and I know I would have failed on my own. During the loss phase I dropped 47 pounds at a rate of 4.2 pounds per week! I have not been hungry! I enjoy the foods I'm eating as well as the High Nutrient Supplements and Bars from MRC!

When I see others with weight challenges I want to let them know there is help, and from my experience MRC can help you. My Jeans are 34" and my shirts are medium Wahoo! I am in the maintenance phase and am excited to say that I am keeping the weight off! The benefits include: Liking how I look, being off of blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes medicines, wonderful compliments for how I look, knowing that I am no longer obese, and my family's delight with how I look! I am looking forward to the next year as I learn to meet my dietary needs and to not eat the things or the amounts that I used to. Foods also taste better these days. Changes can be wonderful!
