This diet has changed my life. It’s changed my LIFESTYLE. That’s what people need to understand in the beginning. ANY diet can fail, but if you change your LIFESTYLE then you have a whole new life!

In September, 2005, I was 260 pounds and at 5’8” and 35 years old, I could no longer say that I “carried the weight well. In fact, I was miserable. I lived a half-life existence. My body couldn’t do the things I wanted to do and I had become used to sitting on the side lines of life. I had forgotten what it was like to be comfortable when crossing my legs, driving my car, standing in my classroom and teaching, or even sleeping. I loved the “me” inside, but I did NOT enjoy my life. I wanted to change so badly, but having tried and failed at other diets in the past, I had simply come to a point in my life that I believed I would NEVER be thin again. Until one day...

I was sitting in my easy chair reading a magazine and my eyes focused on a page that talked about a modified liquid diet that was not New Lifestyle. For me, it was rigid enough that it offered very few choices or ways to “cheat.” Starting out, I began the program and also began working out at a women’s health club. I MADE myself drink the shakes, drink the water, eat my nightly meal, and EXERCISE! But, I didn’t like the “soy” taste of the products. As a member of the Liquid Diet Discussion Board, I was constantly hearing that the New Lifestyle products were FABULOUS tasting! So, I ordered a shipment and tried them. Wow!!! That night, I threw out every packet of my “soy” tasting products and begin drinking the New Lifestyle Shakes!

In January of 2006, continuing to lose the weight and workout out, I decided that it was time to switch over to working out at a real athletic club. I even got a personal trainer! I began to feel stronger and I realized that I was the most fit that I had been in my entire life. I continued to lose weight every week and was proud of myself and felt WONDERFUL! I was now beginning to experience life as I was made to experience it! To me, it felt like the “volume” of my life had been turned up to the top!

As a teacher, I would sit in the lunch room each day as others ate. And, it wasn’t difficult because I knew that I was doing something wonderful for myself! The products tasted great and the biggie was that IT BECAME A HABIT.

In May of 2006, I weighed 165 pounds and had lost a total of 95 pounds! In only 9 months!!!! That’s how fast the weight came off and your life can change just like mine!!! A WHOLE NEW LIFE IN ONLY NINE MONTHS!!! It’s amazing, but you can form a good or bad habit in only 30 days. So, give yourself 30 days and you’ll see a HUGE change in your life. This diet works!!! It changed my life….NO KIDDING!!!

My slogan is this: NEVER GOING BACK!

Honestly, this diet was the easy part. It’s the maintenance and making healthy choices that is the hard part…but, I’m doing it!! And, you can too!!!
