Its Friday nite... just got paid... (love that song) lol... no on a serious note i wanted to take a moment to share a little about myself with you all. in july, 2011 i went to my Dr. appointment to get a perscription refill for my blood pressure medication and was told something i never even thought about. my Dr. told me i had Type 2 Diabetes, my A1C was 8.8, and that he wanted to put me on Cholesterol medication... this scared me. my father has Type 2 Diabetes, but has to take insulin, on top of having high blood pressure, & having bypass surgery already... my eyes were pulled wide open... my future was in front of me, in my father. so this news scared me into trying to change my life. i started a program that many Dr. recommend for obese patients because it works faster then others, basically purchasing dehydrated foods, shakes, and bars at a cost of $360/month. i started this plan a short time after my diagnosis, when i was at 338 lbs. ... i lost 32 lbs on that plan, paired up with my Planet Fitness membership and went to my Dr. appointment in september, 2012 and to my Dr. surprise i had lowered my A1C down to 6.0, but couldnt afford to pay $360/month to stay on it so i stopped and in 6 months time i had gained all the weight i lost and then more... i was at my all time high tipping the scales at 345 lbs. (almost at the max capacity of my home scale of 350 lbs.). by january, 2014 i got myself down to 317 lbs., 28 lbs just from working out and increasing my cardio. 28 lbs. in a year i thought to myself that this was great progress, but one day my cousin Sam messaged me and reached out to me. he offered his help & guidance... he noticed my FB checkins at Planet and told me about a program that would help me. a program that only required me to workout 30 min a day in the comfort of my own home, drink a healthy shake once a day, & follow a meal plan that has REAL food (not dehydrated food). I said to myself, why not its not gonna hurt me. well in 21 days i lost a total of 26 lbs & a total of 13 inches off my body... maybe you didnt hear me IN 21 DAYS I LOST 26 LBS, thats only 2 lbs. less then what it took me to lose the previous year. to date ive lost over 50+ lbs & i feel great! but i wanted to share with you the results of my Dr. visit yesterday so i attached a picture of my Dr.s graph of my weight that was recorded in his office showing my highest recorded at 338 lbs. & yesterdays weight of 266 lbs., he also wrote on there my A1C results for each test he ran... my diagnosis A1C at 8.8 and yesterdays A1C at 5.7 (if you had a A1C test done & your results were 5.7 you wouldnt be diagnosed as having Diabetes). On top of that, my Dr. has me off all the medication... including my blood pressure medication. the weight loss is great, but the changes ive made to my health amazingly priceless! so i ask you, do you want or need to change your health around? if so, i encourage you to reach out to me and add me as a friend on Facebook. if you are serious about getting your health under control, losing weight, & learing how to use the tools that will change your life please message me... its not too late to make that change! you can even message Jane Matias, Reannon Lagunas, Henry Motivated, Carrie Weirich, Nikki Figmaka, or Michael Big MO Matias tell them you read my story and your reaching out for help... they want to help you, i want to help you. stay strong my peeps & know you are worth it!
