Nine pull-ups
Throughout the year, we introduced you to several clients of Total Nutrition and Therapeutics, including hometown health producer Michelle Wargo. Here's a look back at some of their success stories.
I was not feeling very well at all. In fact, I had so many joint issues and everything that I was feeling like the Tin man. And I just said I had to do something. And I heard about Lori through a friend of mine who had success with her, and I decided, I'm just coming in here and I'm going to try it and see what happens. I'm feeling great right now. I lost 50 pounds. I'm working out with a personal trainer. I did nine pull ups yesterday for the first time in my life. It's just been fabulous for me.
Laurie started me out. I weighed 189, 220, I think was my cholesterol level. And after the first initial series, my weight had dropped down to 170. So I had lost almost 25, 28 pounds there. And I started feeling better. But the biggest shock was my cholesterol went from 220 down to 150. My body fat index decreased tremendously. My muscle tone picked back up because of the exercising. So everything Laurie had put me on was working for me and I felt better and started looking better. And one of the nicest things was to go from a size 38 waist to a 34.
Do you know how much fun you.
Can have reshopping your whole life over again? I mean, it was amazing.
Through this process, Lori had said, you know, we're going to train your body so your metabolism knows it's time to eat, to steady your blood sugar and to fix my insulin resistance and other things that are going on. She's like, once you get into the habit, your body will adjust. And it's true. When we started this, I'm like, ugh, I have to eat again. Ugh, I have to eat again. I don't want to eat, but I have to eat now every three hours. I'm like, where's the food? I'm hungry. So I always keep snacks with me and they're healthy snacks. I've completely changed the way I eat. It's changed the way my husband eats. It's changed the way my parents eat. So this whole process is a lifestyle change. And I like the way that it's changed me and that it's changing others around me.
