The Biggest Loser

Last night was the season finale of The Bigges Loser. I must admit it is one of my favorite shows.

I think it is because it is a show that changes peoples lives for the better. Not only those on the show but it is a motivation to those who watch it.

This year a 48 year old woman won the competition. She lost over 54% of her body weight. That is amazing.

I hear all the time how men lose weight so much easier and quicker than men. But the last 3 winners on The Bigges Loser were women. Now a 48 year old woman. It just shows you that anyone can do whatever they set their mind to. Here is a link to pic's of Helen, the winner.

The best part about weight loss is that you don't need to get on a TV show to do it. You can do it on your own. With the right nutrition, exercise, and support.

Take Shape For Life and Medifast meals provides this. I have seen amazing changes in my office in only a few short months of doing this. It works and can work for you. I am here to support you, so you will succeed.

GREAT WEEKEND!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

I did. I woke up and made my wife breakfast, with help from my kids. I also made her dinner and let her take a nap after church. It was a fun day. I hope all the Mom's out there had a great day.

On Saturday I had a fun day as well. I got a call on Friday night to go water skiing with a good friend of mine, on Saturday monring.

We met at 6:30 am and went to Utah lake. It was sooooo cold. The outside air when we met wat 34 degrees. The water temp was probably 50 degrees. Thank goodness I had a dry suit. So all that got wet was my hands, feet, and head.

Here is what I really loved about this. I haven't been waterskiing in 2 years. This was mainly due to my achilles tendon injury and surgery. Well the last time I went skiing before I tore it I was almost 15 pounds heavier than I am now.

Well needless to say that water skiing at a lighter weight was so much easier. I got up faster and was able to ski longer. It was really great.

One thing I am really enjoying about losing weight is that I am finding it easier to do things now than when I was 40 pounds heavier. Life is easier. It is easier to run, play sports, fit into clothes, go up and down stairs... You get the picture. So what are you waiting for. Summer is so close. You can feel it in the air.

Are you going to enjoy this summer and your new body or are you going to just wish you could lose the weight. You can lose it and Medifast is the tool. Call me today. Get started. Tell your friends or family that want to get started. I will pay $25 cash to anyone who refers someone and they get started with Medifast. Call my office at 801-878-3304 or cell phone to discuss this with me 801-440-9360.

Ray's Story

I started the Take Shape For Life 5 & 1 Plan weighing 280 lbs. and in just five months, I lost 80 lbs.! Since then, I've lost another 20 lbs. to reach my goal weight of 180 lbs. Not to mention that after just one month, I was able to get rid of my high blood pressure. After losing 100 lbs. total, I've become a marathon runner, and have maintained my weight of 180 lbs. I am very glad that I was introduced to Take Shape For Life and Medifast Meals. My life has turned around and I feel like a new person!

Rhonda's Story

Take Shape For Life has completely changed my life. My family was always overweight and rarely ate properly, so right from the beginning, I learned bad eating habits. I would usually just eat once or twice a day, so my body would hold onto the food like it was starving. Then I would go on a diet, lose a few pounds just to gain them back again. Then I got married and had three kids, which made it even harder to lose the weight. It was then that I heard about Take Shape For Life from my friend Shannon who had lost 63 lbs in less than four months. At first, I was unsure if I would be able to afford it, but then my mother went on the 5 & 1 Plan and had enormous success! I saw “the light,” and started using Medifast Meals myself. To date, I have lost over 57 lbs and have gone from a size 16 to a 6! I now have the energy to run after my three kids, and my husband is seeing me like when we first were married. Thank you Take Shape For Life. I will be eternally grateful for the awesome changes in my life.

Mary Jane Medlock's Story

Simply put - Take Shape For Life and Medifast Meals saved my life. Diagnosed with a fatty liver, among other serious weight-related ailments, my doctor warned me that if I didn't lose the weight, I would die. As a last alternative prior to Gastric Bypass Surgery, and with a strong will to live (and thrive), I decided to give Take Shape For Life a chance. Not only did I lose over 152 lbs. and shrink to a size 8, but I have also been able to go off ALL of my medications! I could barely walk or breathe seven years ago, and now I teach aerobics - soon to have my personal trainer certification. Thanks to Take Shape For Life, I now live my life in complete passion and fulfillment.
