Healthy Figures Weight Loss & Treatment Centers

My name is Marja Edmonson and I am an overeater. I have struggled with my weight off and on all of my life. I have been on and fallen off every diet known to man. At 5’3” and 300 plus pounds, I was walking death one year ago. This is my success story.

In December 2008, I lost a sister to complications of diabetes. She was only 53 years old. In December 2009, I lost another sister who had battled diabetes for years. She had just turned 60. My mom and my grandmother also died after battling diabetes for years. The prospect of me living a long life looked dim. I was determined to get the weight off. I started Weight Watchers with some mild success but got discouraged when I would have a good week followed by a bad week. Over 6 months, I had lost just 19 pounds. I checked into gastric bypass surgery but my insurance would not cover the cost. And at $26000.00, it was out of my range.

Finally, someone told me about Healthy Figures in Longview. It was a low carbohydrate program (which I was familiar with) that seemed to be working on a lot of people that I knew. It was worth a try. I called and made my appointment. The first week I lost 11 pounds, followed by 6 the next week. I have been on the program for twelve months now and have lost 130 pounds. I have not had a week that I didn’t lose something. If you add the 19 that I had lost before beginning the program, I am down right at 150 pounds! I have never cheated and never felt hungry. Even on special occasions, I don’t go off program and don’t feel deprived. I eat a meat and a vegetable each meal and that’s all I need. I eat real food and am not constantly counting calories or fat grams. It is the easiest program that I have ever tried and it works! One year ago, losing 150 pounds sounded impossible. Today, I am almost at goal and feel great! I have kicked diabetes to the curb!!

Thank you Healthy Figures! You are changing lives and you saved mine!
