My Weight Loss Journey...

Okay, so maybe you have a similar story to mine... I've struggled with my weight MOST of my life, except in high school when my metabolism was screamin! I've done "diets" in the past with a little success but never got down to where I really wanted to be. So earlier this year I started researching new ways to lose the weight... all of it... and keep it off. That's when I found the Castro family! Now they're my personal certified health coaches and guiding me and encouraging me towards my goal by teaching me the Habits of Health! Today marks EIGHT WEEKS since they began working with me and I'm THRILLED to report that I'm down 44 pounds! Yeah, thats no misprint! 44 pounds!

Take a look at this pic... this was shot just before Christmas. We were outside with a bunch of neighbors on December 23rd with a fire in the street making s'mores. Its a little hard to see but thats me in the background looking down at my camera. This picture really shocked me to see how far my gut was stickin' out there these days and I realized I really needed to do something

Here's another pic of me bummin' around the Fish offices... yeah, it makes you wonder what we were doing and talking about, but its easy to see I needed to lose it and lose it quick!

So fast forward now to where I am now... this was shot after losing 25 pounds!


Here I am after losing 37 pounds!

I need to get a new pic shot... hopefully today. Um, I also need new pants! LOL! I've hung on to lots of nice shirts over the years and I'm having a blast fitting in to them again!

Okay, do you want to JOIN ME on this journey? Are you serious? Are you ready to be committed to it? Then don't wait! Contact my personal health coaches Lisa & Jaime Castro at 4Gerations4Health!

I'm really happy for Dave and can see the great change in his weight. However there are 2 things that concern me. One is that price is never mentioned, which in today's economy is on most everyone's mind. The other is that ingedients are not mentioned. I have heard of the Medifast product but I am highly allergic to soy. If soy is in the product I cannot take it.

Hi "Anonymous"...

Good questions! Giving a flat cost is difficult to do because people can really tailor it to what they want so it can vary depending on what discounts you want to take advantage of. Many do it for around $200/month and considering that it supplies 5 of your 6 meals a day, that not bad on a daily basis. The coaching is FREE! You pay for nothing else.

About the soy... if you have soy alergies, you can get the whey products. But call Lisa at 503-590-1111 and ask her anything. She'll be happy to answer your questions in more detail than I can here on a blog.

There are SO many success stories of the life changing results people have had, I hope more will join me! Already there are 7 other people here at the station losing weight with me with this! Its AWESOME!

Thanks for your comment and your encouraging words for me too!
