Debbi: 50 lb Weight Loss

In January my husband and I began the Scottsdale Weight Loss Program together. Initially I was a little hesitant because I figured it was another weight loss gimic that would work for awhile and then I’d gain it all back plus some. I was encouraged by my brother’s success and so we began. At first I thought “if I can lose just 1 or 2 lbs a month that will mean success to me”. I had mental goals of 10 lbs at a time…first 10 reward myself with a favorite restaurant (yes I was doing full meal replacement, but we ate out at least once on the weekends), the next 10 I bought a new pair of pants in a smaller size etc…before I knew it I was down 50 lbs. I don’t think I ever lost less than 1.5 lbs in a week…even when I went on a Mediterranean Cruise! While the weight loss is exciting what is more exciting to me is the fact that over the last 7-8 months I have made some huge lifestyle changes such as consistent exercise, conscious and healthy food choices, better sleep, and lots more water and at 46 I look better and feel better than I did at 36….and with all the tools and encouragement from the staff at swl I feel like this is really my new life and I never plan to go back to the other! Thanks guys….You made my life!
