Below is a picture of a friend of ours, Dan Malmin. We’ve known Dan for over 30 years. We go way back as college students together, attending each other’s wedding, and seeing each other at various functions.
As with many Americans, Dan became a statistic. He became diabetic and hypertensive and was put on 4 different medications. His doctors told him to “lose weight and exercise” but left it up to him to fend for himself in terms of following that advice.
Fortunately for Dan, his cousin also in a similar boat did find a way to lose weight. After his cousin lost over 80 pounds, Dan followed suit. To date, Dan has lost 85 pounds as you can see in the before and after photos which he graciously allowed me to copy.
Dan has also been able to get off all 4 medications. His blood pressure is normal. His world has changed and he has his life back. It is said that if you need to lose over 50 pounds and you accomplish that goal—it is the equivalent of adding 10 years to your lifespan.
Dan’s story inspired my brother-in-law to lose 60 pounds and that in turn inspired me to work on my own weight issues. It all comes full circle.
If you or someone you know is discouraged with their weight issues, especially if they have lost hope; please have them call me.
The Take Shape For Life program utilizing Medifast products is a well researched and well executed plan for weight loss, maintenance and weight control.
In fact, they have partnered with Johns Hopkins University not only in research projects on obesity, but as part of their gastric by-pass surgery program. All candidates must go through the Take Shape For Life program before being considered a viable candidate for gastric by-pass.
As I contemplated becoming a health coach with Take Shape for Life—one of the confirmations to me was my mission statement. This program is consistent with my mission statement of “Changing Bodies, Changing Lives”. If you want to change your life, please call me and let me help.
