Andrew: 70lb. Weight Loss

I started the Fast Trak program at Midwest Weight Control in April of 2009 and in 22 weeks I have lost 70 lbs. It has been easier than I ever imagined possible. The program is laid out for you and the support you get at the clinic is phenomenal.

I have battled weight issues all my life. I can remember way back to elementary school the nurse telling me only to take one scoop of potatoes at dinner instead of two. Then as I got older I was able to use my weight to my advantage playing high school and college athletics. But since then things started going south, literally. I continuously gained weight. I started developing a number of health conditions all related to being overweight. I hated the way I looked and the way I felt. I was so depressed.

I finally decided it was time to make a change. I heard the advertisement on the radio for Midwest Weight Control and thought it was the perfect place for me. My wife and I came

in to meet with Patty and find out more information. After meeting with her for about an

hour I signed up for the program right on the spot. It’s the smartest investment I have ever made. My health has improved and so has my energy level.

My goal is to lose 25-30 more pounds and there is no doubt in my mind I can do that now that I have learned how to eat properly. The dietitians will teach you good eating habits so that you know the right amounts and combinations of foods to eat on a daily basis. The beautiful thing is that it’s not a diet but a change of eating habits and really a way of life. Once I reach my goal weight I now have the knowledge and skills to maintain my weight for the rest of my life. I no longer have to worry about not being around for my wife and child.
