A COUPLE IN LOVE

Saturday, 01 March 2008

Happy first day of March to all of you! I thought I'd start this first day of the new month off for you with not just one success story...but with two! It's the story of and Sue. and Sue were sweethearts. Yes, they were very much in love. They did everything together and I mean everything. The two of them were inseparable. They shopped together, they ate together, they watched TV together and...they ate together. Oh, and did I mention that they ate together?See, and Sue were also in denial together, about their weight, that is. How so? Well, weighed 460 pounds and Sue weighed 300.One day, was having a lot of pain in his body. His doctor ordered an MRI for him immediately. When arrived to have the test done, he was shocked that the staffers at the clinic were unable to fit his body into the MRI machine. The opening of the MRI was simply too small for his girth.That was the day decided it was time to do something about his weight. Either that or he was afraid he was going to die because of his weight. When he got home that evening, he sat down for a serious talk with Sue. He told her that he was also worried about her. And right then and there, the two of them made a pact. They decided to be each other's support while working hard to lose the weight they both so desperately needed to lose. Yes, they were finally going to lose weight...together.Weight Watchers was the plan they chose to use to help them lose weight. They joined and began attending the meetings as a couple. As you may know, my FoodMover program and the Weight Watchers plan are very similar. We both use portion control as an anchor for successful weight-loss. And, truth is, portion control is really the tried-and-true way to lose weight and keep it off.And so, and Sue were off and running toward reaching their goals. When was down, Sue helped bring him back up. And when Sue didn't feel she was doing as well as she could, was there to pull out his pompoms and cheer her on! I began talking with the two of them on my radio show back in August of 2006. Along with my listeners, I have followed and Sue's progress since then. And are you ready for this? has gone from 460 down to 289 for a total weight-loss of 171 pounds. And sweet Sue has gone from 300 pounds down to 172, for a total weight-loss of 128 pounds. That means, between the two of them, they have lost 299 pounds! Wow! Are they a pair of amazing success stories, or what?You should see their before and after photos. I'm telling you, they don't even look like the same people who were in those before pictures of the two of them!On my last conversation with them, told me that Sue is smoking hot! He loves to be in the kitchen and watch as she's preparing those healthy meals for the two of them. Sue told me that they have no intentions of ever stopping their new healthy lifestyles. Talk about two people marching up to the plate and hitting a couple of homeruns!Congratulations, and Sue! You've gotten our March off to a great start! Looks like a couple that was "blue" has turned into a couple that is new!Love,
