In August 2001, my Dr. told me to lose weight or take out a life insurance policy for my boys. I wanted to lose weight but with dieting I had only managed to lose about 25 lb., the same 25 I had lost time and time again. For all my efforts I could never break through that 250 lb. mark, my body just seemed to hold on to that fat. By Christmas 2001 I was again ready to resign myself to the thought that I would never weigh less than 250 lb., and nearly gave up in my attempts to lose weight. In January 2002, I found a copy of Fat Blaster at a local video store. The jacket on the tape said, "Guaranteed Visible Results in 10 Workouts!" Sure, I'd tried everything else why would this be different? I reluctantly purchased the tape. Master instructors Allie, Lisa and Nancy just about killed me in the first 5 or 6 workouts but the changes were beginning. The pounds started melting away and I was hooked on step aerobics and weight training. by March 2002 I was down to 234 lb., less than I had been in the past 10 years. I now have 12 different Firm tapes, it's November 22, 2002, and I'm down to 180 lb. I have lost a total of 73 lb. with the help of the FIRM, and 98 lb. from my heaviest weight of 278 lb. Here is a picture of me with my friend Melissa, (another FIRM Believer), taken this October in Columbia SC. Melissa has had great success with the FIRM too! In fact her web authoring abilities put mine to shame. If you would like to see Melissa's pages and learn more about how the FIRM can change your life too.
