	How Are We Different? With all the "diet" products on the market today, this website has been designed to educate and inform you about our "Blueprint" and how it is different from anything you have ever done. Like many, you have probably tried to lose weight and have failed time and time again....with each time comes more frustration until you finally give up and lose hope. You're not alone because diets don't work! Statistics show that 85% of people who lose weight on a diet without behavioral support regain their weight back within 2 years.
We know that you're constantly bombarded with a multitude of advertisement for the "latest and greatest" diet products, diet books, and self-help books, but yet the reality is that we keep getting bigger and more unhealthy.....WHY? The answer is to go beyond simple dieting......pharmaceutical companies can only create medications to treat the symptoms caused by excessive weight gain. But the cure will never come from medications, shots, hormones, stimulants or extreme measures. The cure will come from helping people achieve and maintain a healthy weight and by teaching them the healthy habits necessary to make it last a lifetime.
	Our purpose is to provide you with everything you need to contribute to your health, happiness and permanent weight loss. However, we offer so much more than just weight loss. Together with your free personal health coach as well as free access to our doctors, nurses, and nutritionists, you will have all the knowledge, skills, and support to FINALLY put you back in control of your health!! We encourage you to take the time to explore this website. It's easily laid-out (just like our program) and it will explain what the medical community has known for a long time, the "secret" of losing weight quickly and safely.

	Margaret Hartman - Lost 35 lbs. & 30 inches in 12 wks. My life as a career dieter began after gaining 72 pounds with my first child. For the next 30 years I gained and lost 100 pounds each decade. I think I’ve done every diet out there, some sensible and some I’m ashamed to say were very unhealthy and even dangerous. I became a master dieter, the problem was that I never learned anything from any of those diets. As soon as I lost the weight, I went back to my old habits and before I knew it I gained back all the weight and then some. As I got older it became more difficult to lose the weight. When I turned 48 it was like my body rebelled and that was the year I jumped on a new diet every 30 days because nothing was working. I even went back to the ones that had worked in the past, still nothing…talk about being frustrated and miserable for a whole year! When I turned 49, I decided to finally stop dieting, instead I would eat organic and health foods, keep a journal, and exercise which I did for 1 hour a day 6 days a week. At the end of that year, I was stronger but I was still fat, but now I was even more frustrated and miserable almost to the point of depression. Then I heard about this incredible program through a physician and that day changed my life. This program was the easiest and fastest thing I had ever done, and the results were immediate and consistent. I had an awesome health coach who was with me every step of the way providing me support, encouragement, and more importantly she gave me the knowledge to finally stop dieting forever. It has been 4 1/2 years since I achieved my goal weight, I am now 55 and in better shape and health than I was in my 30's.
	Deborah McGill - Lost 70 lbs. in 9 months Like many people, I had tried to lose weight over the years. I would lose the weight and then gain it back because I returned to my old eating habits. Because of my weight I was also taking medication for high blood pressure. Although my dress size was increasing, I had convinced myself that my weight was not an issue. On a recent family trip I did a lot of walking to get around and found myself breathing hard and tiring easily. When I returned home, I made up my mind that I had to make a true commitment to lose weight. I went to see my doctor and he told me about this program he had been recommending to his patients with incredible results. He told me that I needed to lose 50 pounds……I said to myself, you must be kidding! I started my journey with the assistance of my personal health coach on January 26, 2009. It was one of the best decisions I could have made in my life and my coach was there every step of the way. On October 17, 2010, I surpassed my doctor’s goal and lost a total of 70 pounds and went from a size 18 to a 6. I am now able to do 5K walks again with ease and a lot of people think that I am my 20 year old daughter’s sister. Today my blood pressure is normal and I have discontinued two of four medications. I thank God for my restored health and for the encouragement and support of my health coach!
	Glen Gettings - Lost 70 lbs. in 5 months With a medication added every year, my doctor gave me the same lecture to lose weight every year …. I’m your typical “work-hard, play-hard, eat-hard” kind of guy, who suddenly woke up one day “old, fat and on 7 different medications”! This time around my doctor threatened me with diabetes, he said “Glen it’s not a matter IF, it’s a matter of WHEN you will become a diabetic.” Truly scared, I was ready to do something. I was really listening when he told me about this amazing health program he had been recommending to his patients with phenomenal results. He told me I had a choice, either do it on my own or do this program with the assistance of a coach. Because it was so easy to do and I enjoyed working with my coach I was surprised when I lost 70 pounds in 5 months not to mention my medications were omitted too with the exception of ½ of one pill! I have now been able to keep my weight off for 1-1/2 years … so now I guess you can say, I’m your typical “work-hard, play hard, eat-healthy” kind of guy!
	Mary Rey - Lost 112 lbs. and dropped 7 sizes Like most people I had tried almost every diet out there but could never really get beyond losing 25-30 pounds because it was either too hard to stay on it, or I would plateau … so I gave up trying! Then one day during my routine visit to my doctor, she told me about this program and said she was seeing tremendous success with her patients and really wanted me to try it. Reluctantly, I said I would try it but knowing deep down inside that it would be yet another diet I would fail at. The day I started on this program I weighed 269 pounds. However, much to my surprise, the program was the easiest thing I’ve ever done and with the help of my personal health coach I not only blew past that 25-30 pound mark where I would usually stall but, I went on to lose 112 pounds and I went from a size 24/26 to a size 10/12. Never did I believe when I started I could ever be thin again … my husband says he really enjoys seeing my curves again. My life and health has been totally transformed because of this amazing program and with the guidance and encouragement I received from my health coach … this was truly an answer to prayers. Because of my weight loss, I no longer have to take blood pressure and cholesterol medications, and the pain in my right foot from plantar fasciitis due to my weight is gone and I’m now able to walk pain free!! I encourage you, if you feel like you have done every diet out there and failed, or you just don’t believe anymore (like I did), you owe it to yourself one last time to try this program … it will change your life!
	Sue Crohan - Lost 95 lbs.in 6 months I have tried every weight loss program there is. I suffered from acid reflux, high blood pressure, and my doctor was getting ready to give me more medication! I also suffered from unbearable daily knee and foot pain that would make me limp when I walked. I was a walking time bomb! Then this program was introduced to me and saved my life! I started my journey with a friendly voice who had walked in my shoes and knew all the trials and tribulations of being overweight. My first phone conference with my health coach inspired me to succeed. The best part was it was free, and she was always there for me whenever I needed her. I lost 12 pounds my first week and I continued to lose every week. I started at the end of April and lost 50 pounds by July. My next goal was 75 pounds and I hit that Labor Day weekend. So far I have lost 95 pounds in 6 months and I am determined to achieve my goal. I used to wear a size 28-30 now I’m wearing a size 18. I feel amazing and the best part is that I am now off all of my medications!! I am no longer in extreme pain and I am wearing high heels again! I have a lot more energy and my life has forever been changed and there is no turning back. My friends and family are inspired by my transformation and I am truly myself again. Life is full of wonderful possibilities and I am living proof that if you want something bad enough you can achieve your goal!
	Kathy Thatcher - Lost 124 lbs.in 42 weeks I lost 124 pounds in 42 weeks, “an entire unhealthy person.” I am off of 10 prescription medications including insulin, cholesterol and acid reflux meds. I no longer am a Type 2 diabetic. This program was so very easy and results were quick which I loved and I was never hungry while I was on it. I had a wonderful supportive and helpful health coach who was there every step of the way to answer my questions and cheer me on in my success. Since reaching my weight and health goals, I have easily been maintaining my weight with the healthy habits I learned from doing the program and my coach. I feel better than I have in years. I would recommend this plan to everyone!!
	Mark Hammer - Lost 60 lbs.in 3 months I have been heavy all my life and have lived on the diet roller coaster. I have spent my whole life losing weight, only to gain it back. When I reached 40 I realized how unhealthy this was for me. Ten days after my son was born I found myself in the intensive care unit because my blood pressure was so high they had to monitor me for fear I would have a stroke. I was also told I was a borderline diabetic and was also diagnosed with sleep apnea. Throughout my life I have always looked for the solution to get healthy and get off my medications. I found that solution when I made the commitment to do this program. I have lost 60 pounds in 3 months and I am no longer a borderline diabetic! Although I still take my blood pressure medication it is a much smaller dose and as I continue to lose weight I have no doubt this medication will be a thing of the past.
	Larry Hartman - Lost 92 lbs. in 4 1/2 months After 30 years of hiding behind my wife in photos, and trying every weight loss program known to man with no lasting success, I was diagnosed with diabetes and sleep apnea. I have watched every family member struggle and suffer with this disease and I was scared. When a doctor friend of mine recommended this program and a free health coach to help me on this journey I jumped at the opportunity. It was easiest and quickest thing I have ever done!! Three months later and 57 pounds lighter, I was able walk my daughter down the aisle with pep in my step and no fear of the cameras. I went on to lose another 35 pounds, a total of 92 pounds 4 ½ months. The best part is I no longer have diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, acid reflux or high cholesterol. I am so grateful to have my life back and just completed a 100 mile charity bike ride. Now I share this life saving program with everyone.
	Karen Marshall - Lost 51 lbs. - From size 16 to 6 Last year, I was shocked by the news from my doctor that I was a pre-diabetic. Her advice was to lose weight, so I tried several different “diets” and lost a few pounds but the weight loss was slow and programs too difficult to follow with my busy work schedule. I ended up gaining all the weight back and more. Then a close friend contacted me with the great news that she had lost 70 lbs on a fantastic, easy to follow program with the help of a free health coach. I thought this was great, but I was still skeptical. A few weeks later, I went to the store to buy a new outfit and found that the size 16 was now too tight! I went home and called my friend immediately and said “I’m ready.” That was one of the greatest decisions of my life! I went on the program, and was amazed how easy it was to follow. The weight came off, and in four months, I lost 51 pounds! I went from a size 16 to a 6 and have now maintained my weight for 5 months. The best news is that I am no longer pre-diabetic. My blood sugar level is normal, and I also lowered my blood pressure. In addition, I had suffered with daily headaches my entire adult life. Since starting the program, I no longer have any headaches! Thanks to this wonderful program and my health coach, I feel like a new person.
	Gideon Juko - Lost 65 lbs. in 90 days When I arrived in Iraq on September 30, 2008 I weighed 260 pounds. I immediately started my “own” weight loss program the next day by working out vigorously everyday and eating what I thought was healthy foods three times a day. Unfortunately and to my dismay at the end of 31 days, I only lost a whopping 5 pounds. Then I heard about this program from another Airman who had great success on it. So on November 1, 2008 and in 23 days I lost 22 pounds. The biggest amazement in regards to being on this program is that I lost the weight doing virtually very little exercise. More interestingly is the fact that I lost four times the weight I lost doing my “own” thing in October when I was exerting myself with exercise. Besides this program being the easiest thing I’ve ever done, I honestly believe the most beneficial part of the program was the personal support I received from my health coach. Because I was serving in Iraq during this time, contact on the phone was not an option, therefore I emailed her on a weekly basis and the interaction with her was invaluable to meeting my goals. She was my constant beacon and showed me how easy this program was to follow. More importantly through my journey I also learned exactly what to do to avoid the pitfall of resorting to old habits and regaining the weight back. The results were absolutely amazing! I lost 65 pounds in 90 days. I highly encourage this program to all who are seriously interested in improving their health because it delivers all that is promised, and so very, very much more!
	Rallia Gettings - Lost 37 lbs. in 10 weeks My parents were overweight for most of my life, and I was never really taught how to eat properly. However I never had to worry about my weight because I was involved in sports until one day I fell and tore my ACL, followed by surgery, then everything changed. I didn’t change the way I ate however now I was starting to gain weight, and I was miserable. My dad called me one day and told me that he started this program and had lost 15 pounds in his first week. I’ll never forget the moment when I had to go into Ross to buy size 14 pants, I called my mom that day and said, “Mom I’m ready…” It was the best decision I had ever made! I lost 37 pounds in 10 weeks and now wear a size 8….and I love the way I look and feel. I can’t imagine my life any different now! My family and I have now lost a combined weight of 197 pounds! This program was fast and EASY and fit into my very hectic college schedule and my coach was very instrumental in helping stay on track. Take this opportunity to get your life back, I promise you won’t regret it!
	Kelly Jones - Lost 110 lbs. in 7 months Food has always been my comfort when life took me down unintended paths and that led to 20 years of yo-yo dieting, gall bladder removal surgery, chronic sinus infections, acid reflux disease, and an increase in blood pressure. Then one day I received an answer to prayers, a long time friend called me and she told me about this program and her free health coach. When I spoke to the coach the first time I felt very comforted and excited in knowing that I could talk one on one with someone else who understood my pain, frustration, and would guide me along my journey. I saw results right away and that kept me motivated and kicked my sugar and carb cravings in the first week. I achieved my first goal of losing 50 lbs in less than 3 months and have lost 110 lbs in 7 months and went from a size 22 to a 10. Because of my success most of family and friends also joined me getting healthy and we are now closing in on 700 lbs together! Although I am still on my journey towards my goal, I no longer wake up in extreme pain from inflammation and my acid reflux is gone. My blood pressure has returned to normal and I have more energy than I know what to do with. My life has come full circle because there is no better reward than helping yourself and helping others change their lives. I love the new healthy me!
	Mark Green - Lost 110 lbs. in 7 months I have struggled with my weight really most of my life. At 54, I made a very wise decision to take my own personal health and wellness seriously, and break the chains of bondage of a lifetime of miserable eating habits and poor nutritional choices once and for all! I was blessed to hear about this program from a family member who also had lost considerable weight on this program and regained their health. So, I gave myself a Christmas gift – a new attitude concerning my own personal health and wellness! Literally within days of starting this program, my hope of finding a healthy man inside an unhealthy body was being realized! I lost weight so quickly, that within 4 months my physician had me stop taking all the medications I was taking for acid reflux, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Within 8 months I reached my personal weight loss goal of 110 pounds! Although the program was so easy to do and fit my very hectic lifestyle, I believe the key was having my own personal health coach; someone who was equally committed to my weight loss success. She joined me in my journey to better health, encouraging and supporting me every step of the way. My passion is to share this special gift with others who are exactly where I was 9 months ago – been there, done that! Please, do something GREAT for yourself today ……. ACCEPT THIS GIFT!
	Julie Gestes - Lost 34 lbs. and staying healthy As a busy Mom, I was doing everything I could to try and get the extra baby weight off! Diet and exercise were not working! Then I heard about this program from my aunt who had lost 50 pounds. I am so thankful I found a program that not only allowed me to lose 34 pounds, but I have now kept it off for over a year! This program actually worked with my busy schedule and my coach taught me how to stay at a healthy, happy weight for life!
	Nancy Black - Lost 38 lbs. in 14 weeks My career as a flight attendant with Eastern Airlines required me to be very dedicated about my weight for 22 years. Because I was younger controlling my weight wasn’t a problem; but then I became the mother of 2 beautiful daughters and low and behold, nature seemed to take its course and I started to gain weight. Over the years I tried several diets and weight control programs but I still couldn’t keep the weight off once I lost it. My weight was constantly going up and down and I couldn’t feel content about the shape I was in. Then one day an answer to prayers showed up at my door. A family member stopped by my house and told me about this wonderful program his doctor recommended to him and he lost 25 pounds in just a few weeks. Well, I’m sure you can imagine what I did next; I called his health coach and got started on the program myself. This program was the easiest thing I ever did to lose weight in my life. I never felt hungry or deprived, had a ton of energy, and the pounds and inches melted off my body. With the help of my coach I lost 38 pounds in 14 weeks and feel more confident than I have in many years. I’m happy and loving life……my youngest daughter and husband also went on the program and they too had tremendous success!
	Sean Murphy - Lost 21 lbs. in 3 weeks After years (of course the younger years) of being athletically fit and mobile, I found myself struggling to maintain a respectable weight—and shape for that matter. I have worked in many office settings, and found as the years went on, it just seemed incredibly hard to eat healthy. I guess the biggest pitfall, was skipping breakfast, eating a hearty lunch, usually with a client, and then indulging in the occasional beers after dinner. As the years went by and the kids showed up, any hope of a regular exercise regimen seemed further out of reach. We ate healthy (at home) for the most part, but that spare tire never seemed to go anywhere. My wife referred to it as the “basketball” I was hiding. I heard about this program from my mother-in-law who had tremendous results. Although somewhat skeptical, I decided to try it. The program was really simple, and the assistance I received from my health coach was very responsive and informative. I lost 21 lbs in 3 weeks, and did little more than walk for exercise. My energy level during the day, and at night is markedly improved. And I seem to be sleeping a lot better as well. Overall, the improvement to my general health is very noticeable to my friends…and most importantly, myself. I have been able to maintain my weight for 1.5 years now. I see and know a lot of people that chat about the next fad in weight loss, or the countless hours and dollars spent at a gym with no results. The biggest complaint I have was having to have all of my suits re-sized at the waist from a size 38 waist to a 32. This program not only teaches you the way to treat your body, it works to help you lose weight fast and it is virtually fool proof. Again, I was a big skeptic, but to this day my shirt covered basketball is still gone. I only wish I had started it sooner.
	Jennifer Black - Lost 56 lbs. in 5 1/2 months I have always struggled with my weight from an early age. I was usually the larger girl in my elementary school classes, which made me self-conscious. I wanted to lose weight and tried multiple diets that would work, but I would always gain the weight back and more. I got to the point where I didn’t try to moderate my food anymore, I had given up, I was going to be a “bigger girl.” Then I found out that a family friend had lost 25 pounds in one month on this program. I thought if the program worked for him it could certainly work for me. So I contacted his health coach and she started me on the program. With her guidance and the simplicity of this program I was able to lose 56 pounds in 5 1/2 month. I am no longer the “bigger girl”……….I’m the “hot” girl.
	Neva Kosmicki - Lost 50 lbs. and 40 inches I was heavy from an early age up until my mid 50’s when I found this program. I tried many diets and had lost weight on most. However, I was never able to reach a healthy weight before and certainly never able to maintain a healthy weight for over 2 ½ years, like I have now. With this program I was able to lose 50 pounds and 40 inches overall. I believe the key was having a health coach who had been on the program herself, to guide me to my goal weight and teach me how to keep the weight off. My job was very demanding, stressful with long hours, yet the ease of this program helped me to stay on track, feel satisfied and energized. I have never felt so good, and been so happy. Not only did it improve my overall health, but it improved the quality of my life! I have hiked to and swam in secret waterfalls in Hawaii, and ridden on dolphins in Mexico. These are things I would never have done when I was 50 pounds heavier. Recently I celebrated my 35th wedding anniversary wearing a smaller size and weighing less than the day I got married!! How do you top that?
	Brian Wood - Lost 130 lbs. in 8 months When I started on the program I weighed 315 pounds, had no energy and had to take a nap at lunch in order to get through the day. I was unable to do any exercises due to my weight and poor health….I just felt bad all the time. I was on medication to control my asthma as well as on a C-PAP machine for sleep apnea. I heard about this program from a friend who also had tremendous success on it. I decided to start the program and worked with my health coach, in less than 8 months I had lost 130 pounds, stopped taking the asthma medication and no longer needed the C-PAP machine. The best news was when my doctor told me I had added 25 yrs to my life span by losing the weight. Now I have so much energy, I don’t need to take naps anymore, feel great and really enjoy exercising because I can. This program was so easy to do and it’s great to have a healthy life.
	Kelly Gettings - Lost 70 lbs. in 8 months Being a 105 pound “hottie” singing and dancing through 10 years at Disney World as a performer, it was a shock to wake up one day to find that I lived the last 20 years as a size 3X to 5X women… What happened??? Being 5’2” and carrying 261 pounds couldn’t be healthy!!! Heading down the same road, my husband Glen’s doctor scared him with threats of diabetes and heart problems ahead in addition to the 7 medications he was taking. At the doctor’s urging and with the help of his free health coach, Glen started this goof-proof health program. I thought there was no way this “meat and potatoes” guy would ever stick to a plan…..boy was I wrong! As Glen’s medications and 70 pounds dropped off in 5 months, and his pants went from a size 44 to 34…..I became a believer! I could kick myself for waiting 2 months to start the program! After losing 70 pounds in 8 months with the support of my free personal coach, I regained the confidence, energy and happiness I did not realize I had lost. I’m not quite there…but I’m looking forward to getting back to a “hottie” status again. Thanks to this amazing health plan, Glen and I are celebrating our lives and our health!
	Chrissy Johnson - Lost 86 lbs. in 5 1/2 months I have struggled with my weight since high school and after having children my weight ballooned to over 280 pounds. I felt hopeless and depressed and after numerous attempts at dieting and failing, I gave up trying anymore. A few months after my 30th birthday my doctor informed me I had severe high blood pressure and needed to be put on 2 medications to control it. I was close to having a stroke, that was a huge wake up call. I needed to get healthy, if not for myself, for my children. I heard about this awesome program through a friend that had lost over 100 pounds herself and decided to give it a try. After my first week on the program my doctor took away one of my blood pressure medications, and after a month I was completely medication free. In 5 ½ months I have lost 86 pounds (and still losing)! This program is perfect for me because it’s so easy and a no-brainer!! Every week when I step on the scale I’m surprised to see how much I’ve lost. Nothing else ever worked before because it was too hard to fit into my busy schedule. The added bonus was the support of my free health coach. Her mentorship and encouragement has been incredible. This program has changed my life! I feel healthy, happy and ready to take on the world!
	Sandra Johnson - Lost 67 lbs. - From size 18 to a 10 Growing up as a child, I was always considered chubby and as I got older, my chubbiness turned into downright fat. I was in every manner of the term “obese”. My daily medications included several medications for high blood pressure and pre-diabetes. After many years of yo-yo dieting, I decided that I wanted to find something that would get me to where I wanted to be. Finally, last year, I was blessed to be introduced to this incredible program by my Pastor. I saw each week from the pulpit losing weight and thought if he can do this why not me. Well, it did work for me…..I lost 67 pounds and have gone from a size 18W to a size 10 and I feel great inside and out! Just look at me now, the results speak for themselves. Besides this program being the easiest thing I have ever done, the weekly calls of encouragement and support I received from my coach was immeasurable. I was taught the habits of health so I now have the knowledge of being able to maintain my new body and health for the rest of my life. Because of losing weight, my health has improved tremendously I am completely off my pre-diabetic medications, and now taking only a small dosage of one of the high blood pressure medications. This reduction in medication has given my personal budget a boost by $80 a month……now that’s something to celebrate!!!
	David Jones - Lost 23 lbs. and 3 pant sizes I never thought I had a weight problem because I always kept active, but after I got married the pounds slowly came on while my energy level dropped. I was exercising but not seeing the results I hoped for. I watched my wife successfully lose weight with this program so I decided to give it a try and hoped just to lose 10 lbs. I was shocked when the weight started falling off me very quickly and my energy level increased. This program was very easy to follow and I never felt hungry. Much to my surprise I lost 23 lbs and 3 pant sizes!
	Meagan Hammer - Lost 35 lbs. in 3 months Being an athlete and very active I never really had a weight problem until I reached my 20’s. But since then I have lost and gained the same 20 pounds more times than I can remember. It was always a struggle to lose it and it always came back, plus a few more. Since I was a little girl I have watched most of my family suffer from obesity, so it was very easy to fly under the radar as the “skinny one” when in fact I was heading down the same road as all of them. I heard about this awesome program from my sister who was also having great success. I was completely amazed and hooked when I saw the weight just melting off when I started this program. It was truly the easiest plan I have ever tried and was the perfect plan for a busy mom. Not only have I been able to achieve a weight loss of 35 pounds in 3 months my husband also made the commitment and has been given his life back. In fact my whole family has lost a total of 700 pounds and I am proud to say they are committed to staying healthy forever.
	Robyn Hall - Lost 48 lbs. in 5 months Most of my adult life I have struggled with my weight. After many attempts to lose weight and get healthier without success I went to my doctor and he recommended this program to me. In 5 months I lost 48 pounds and lowered my cholesterol 50 points. I have so much more energy and have regained my confidence! This program was so simple, and fast and I had a great health coach who was there for me every step of the way. She taught me how to get healthy but more importantly how to stay healthy. I’m proud to say that I have now kept the weight off for over 2 years. This program has truly changed my life! I wish I had known about this years ago.
	Joyce Mansheim - Lost 110 lbs. in 9 months I thought I had learned how to eat healthy! After all, I was a “Lifetime Weight Watchers” member and had been a group leader from 1988 to 1993. So how did I find myself in January of 2010 nearing my 50th birthday wearing a ‘stretch’ 5x (size 36-38), weighing 345 pounds, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 56, and diagnosed with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and pre-diabetic blood sugar levels. How was I going to change my situation? I had attempted returning to my ‘Tried and True’ WW several times over the years, only to lose 1 pound one week, stay the same on a 2nd week, and to gain the pound back the 3rd week. I was filled with anger at myself that I could not repeat my success of 20 years ago, and frustrated that I needed to learn a “points program” that made my head hurt when I tried to correlate the points to basic food groups. So simply put, I felt hopeless and had GIVEN UP ever being able to regain control of my weight and eating habits. I am thankful that my hope was RESTORED though a series of events that introduced me to this program. Because this program is so simple, and the results are so fast it’s easy to stay motivated and avoid temptations. Losing 21 pounds in my first 21 days WITHOUT exercising was incredible, yet it gave me comfort knowing I was doing it in a healthy way because of the way the program is designed. In the 9 months since I regained HOPE, I have lost 110 pounds, with 18 inches off my hips alone. I no longer require medication for high cholesterol that I had taken for more than 10 years. I now have normal blood sugar and blood pressure With the help of my personal Health Coach and free support network available to me, I continue to learn new healthy habits to replace my habits of disease. My sister in South Dakota is also now on the program and together we are just a few pounds short of a 200 pound total lose. As many more of our family members are now joining us – the family reunion pictures will look much slimmer next year!
	Dionna Cole - Lost 41 lbs. in 4 months I have tried for years to lose weight. I tried many weight loss plans but none of them worked for me or were something that I could stick with. When my blood pressure increased and my health was affected I knew I needed to do something. I was introduced to this plan through a friend who had great success. I did all the research before starting it and because it had been endorsed by doctors I knew it was a healthy way to go. Through the guidance and encouragement of my incredible coach I was able to lose 41 pounds in 4 months and go from a size 12 to a size 2! This program was easy, simple and something that I could stick with to reach my goal. It has changed my life!
	Tracy Goodson - Lost 70 lbs. and feeling sassy The weight started coming on in my early 30's and I hated it! Little by little, year by year, I became this person, that I hardly recognized when I looked in the mirror. I counted calories, I faithfully went to the gym and yet nothing was working. My cholesterol was up, triglycerides were up and I was pre-diabetic. While I knew what to do, I just could not seem to put the pieces together. Then I found this program and made a decision. Little did I know, I had truly found a program that I could not only easily follow, but it worked! Seeing results the very first week motivated me even more for the next week, and the next week, and the next. I was on my way before I knew it, and when my friends and colleagues began to notice, I was even more motivated. I stayed true to the program and the benefits paid off! Not only was I able to completely buy an entire new wardrobe, right down to my underwear, but more importantly I turned my health around. Cholesterol – good! Triglycerides – good! No longer, pre-diabetic! 70 pounds – gone! What more can you ask for? It feels pretty darn good to be 52 and very sassy!!
	Catherine O'Connell,MD- Lost 25 lbs. in 12 weeks I am a Family Practice Physician in Florida who personally lost 25 lbs in 12 weeks on this program. The best part is that I have maintained my new healthy weight for 3 years! This is without a doubt the most effective and easiest plan I have ever done especially with my very hectic schedule seeing patients all day in the office. I wish it had been available when I was in my 20’s. I’m proud to say that I have recommended this program to many of my patients and the results have been extraordinary. They not only lose weight and maintain, but I have also reduced or eliminated their medications and help them get back a quality of life. One of the most rewarding part of my practice is having this program available for my patients. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

1. Are you trying to lose weight, but what you're doing is not working? Are you starving yourself and wondering why you're not losing weight? Have the diets you've tried been too complicated, time consuming, expensive or utilized extreme measures?

Your body is designed to survive. When you "diet", you are fighting against nature because your body will begin to conserve and store fat in its 40 billion fat cells. That's why in order to lose weight, you must eat and not starve yourself.

The secret is the balance of what you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat.

Our "Blueprint4WeightLoss" fits into anyone's lifestyle and all of the guess work has been taken out for you. Our program provides an affordable and proven power tool to not only furnish a reliable, easy way for you to lose weight safely and quickly, but also stay there for life!

2. Are you tired of dieting only to regain the weight?

Reaching a healthy weight is a starting point, not an end. With the guidance of your free personal health coach, you will learn the healthy lifestyle and behavioral changes necessary to move you towards optimal health, rather than going back to your old habits.

3. Have you ever said, 'I never had a weight problem when I was young; I just don't know what happened'?

From age 20 we begin to lose 1 pound of lean muscle per year. By the time we are 40, we have lost the ability to burn an additional 1,400 calories per day. If you have not changed your eating habits, and you are not exercising more, then your body will store the extra calories you consume as fat.

4. Are you exercising but do not see any changes on the scale?

Exercise alone is not the answer. We overestimate the calories we burn, and we underestimate the calories we consume. In order to lose 1 pound of fat you must burn 3,500 calories.

Example: A medium-sized adult would have to walk more than 30 miles to burn up 3,500 calories. If your current exercise routine is walking 30 minutes per day you will burn approximately 100 calories......far short of the 3,500 calories needed for 1 pound of fat.

According to the U.S. Institute of Medicine, to really lose weight by exercising alone, you would need to work out strenuously for 90 minutes per day. Although exercise is part of optimal health, in order to lose weight you must also reduce calories, but in a healthy, safe way so as to maintain lean muscle.

5. Are you taking medications to control Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, or Cholesterol?

67% of our population is overweight or obese and 70% of those suffer with some form of metabolic syndrome....diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. Unfortunately, the medications you're on only treat the symptoms which are generally caused by excess weight and lack of exercise. However, by losing 10% of your current weight your overall health would improve by 50%, and chances are very good that some of your medications could be reduced or eliminated.

Let's Start with the Facts:

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, over 67% of adults in the U.S. are overweight, and over 30% are obese and obesity is increasing at an even faster pace among children. Researchers believe this new generation may actually have a shorter life expectancy than that of their parents for the first time in American History. The Journal of the American Medical Association, states over 324,000 people a year die from illnesses directly caused or worsened by obesity. It will soon take over as the #1 cause of preventable deaths in the U.S.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that obesity is linked to: some forms of cancer (including endometrial, breast, prostate, and colon) Type 2 diabetes high blood pressure high blood cholesterol coronary heart disease congestive heart failure sleep apnea gout osteoarthritis gallstones strokes complications of pregnancy infertility bladder control problems depression eating disorders
