Margaret’s Story:

 My excess weight has made a major impact on my life.  I can’t walk very far without gasping for air.  My doctors have told me that I must lose the weight in order to sustain any quality of life.  I can’t go to the mall, and I even have a hard time just going grocery shopping.  I feel like I’m tied to the house and car and the excess weight has stopped me from living.

I have a grandchild that means the world to me.  I want to go to the zoo or the amusement park with him, or just be able to play and enjoy him instead of telling him I can’t do things.

I am on many medications, and am tired of keeping track of all the prescriptions much less the expense of paying for them.

I can’t even imagine how happy I would feel to be rid of the excess weight.  It would be like having a new life, one with less medications – one where I could enjoy going to the mall, walking in the park, and taking a stroll on the beach.  Most importantly, I could enjoy spending time with my grandchild. 

I feel like I could really live, instead of just feeling like I am waiting to die.

Together, my daughter Candy and I are going to change our lives and the life of the 9 year old we love.

Both Candy and Margaret are doing an excellent job!  Here is Margaret – 7 weeks and 20 plus pounds lighter!  Congratulations!  It shows!

 The incredible shrinking woman!  Our Mother and Grandmother, Margaret, is 45 pounds less in 17 weeks. Healthier, lighter and more energetic!

Wow!  What a difference 60 pounds make!

Margaret is looking wonderful and feeling great!
