My name is Misti Plank and I am one of the owners of
Healthy Figures Weight Loss & Treatment Center in Tyler, Texas.

After gaining 70 lbs with my second child, I had been unable to lose the last 20 lbs. nearly 2 years after his birth. I would skip meals and then be so hungry that I would eat whatever was nearby. My diet included bagels with cream cheese and snacks such as goldfish, cheese-its, and cheetos. I had been a yo-yo dieter with my weight fluctuating most of my life. Even having been a therapist and program coordinator for an eating disorders program, I was a disordered eater. I felt sluggish most of the day and could barely keep up with my 2- and 5-year-old boys.

In March of 2007, I saw a friend, K.T. Craven, whom I had not seen in a while. She looked terrific! I asked what she had done. She informed me that she had lost 45 lbs with a weight loss center in town and gave me a flyer offering a free consultation. I was so intrigued by her story and the new energy she had that I couldn’t wait to call the program.

I scheduled an appointment right away and hoped this would really work for me as it had for my friend. After losing 4 lbs. during my first week, I knew I could be successful. I followed the program's outline and reached my goal in 6 weeks. I had so much energy I felt I could climb mountains. I found myself enjoying my exercise routine and the changes in my body as a result of my new eating habits.

My husband had moved to Texas in March where he had accepted a job and the family was following as soon as we closed on the sale of our house in April. I was so thrilled with my progress that I wanted to share this program with other people. I approached Jane Watts, the owner of First Impression Weight Loss Center in Tallahassee, FL and asked if there was any way I could open a program in Texas.

I truly believe in this program and that God has given me the opportunity to help others succeed in weight loss just as I have.

In October of 2006, I ran into a "family friend" of mine who, by trade, was a nurse and had gone to work for a newly-opened weight-loss clinic in Tallahassee, Florida. She invited me to call her for an appointment.
Well, I did NOT make that phone call, and a few days later I received a call from HER, and, well, an appointment I made.

            
This "friend" now has her own clinic in Boseman, Montana, ("Go Figure Weight Loss Clinic", and Paula Grant, the owner, is my long-time friend…yes, the one who stopped in to see me and with whom I made that life-changing appointment!) Who knew, that THAT day she came by my business to speak to me would be THE day that would change my life from that point forward. To date, I have lost 75 pounds. I had been a "lanky" and tall girl--5’7”—in my youth; a tomboy. As age took its toll, I began to have issues with weight gain. I'd lose it and gain it back.
(Of course, the older you get, the harder it is to lose.)

            
This program was the "ticket" for me. It has totally been a life-altering experience. I have changed my life-style...in more ways than one. But, the changes have all been for the good. By the summer of 2007, I was 75 lbs. lighter...and I remain so. I have been able to maintain my weight, and have made many other positive changes in my life as a result. I wholeheartedly give THIS weight-loss program my “life-time” seal of approval. It has changed my body. It has changed my mind. It has changed my life.
