Congratulations to Christine on her 100lb weight loss

Christine recently told us:
“I’m thrilled… I can go shopping in regular stores… wear fancy shoes… but the most important thing is I’m cooking better for my kids. Your recipes are fantastic… I’m not the only one [in the house] that’s lost weight.

When I look back at old pictures… I was horrified, I can’t believe it. I was 280 pounds. The iDiet was offered to me, it was the best gift I’ve ever gotten, aside from my children. It gave me my life back. It taught me to be a better parent. Now we make good decisions.

I took two iDiet classes total. My Group Leader was fantastic. I finished my last class [a year after starting] and I was down 100 pounds.

I’m a horrible cook. You gave us the tools, and I could make the meals easily. My favorite meal is the Thai peanut chicken salad — oh my gosh! You gave us so many options — I can have chocolate for dessert!

You taught us planning… it made everything so simple. As the weeks went on, it became easier. I was eating more food than I ever ate and [it seemed like] the weight was flying off of me. I couldn’t buy clothes [fast enough] — I was going to work and my clothes were too big… I discovered consignment shopping and now I donate my big clothes.

You teach us so much about changing how the brain thinks about food. And no one taught me before about protein, fiber… I never [before] learned what to eat and how to eat or how to cook. With 24 weeks of class total, I was able to lose 100 pounds [over a year].

I alway wanted to run. I did a 5K… and each mile in under 10 minutes.
I’m not saying being overweight makes you unhappy… but it’s no comparison to where I am now. I can’t tell you how fantastic I feel.”
