At 368 pounds and borderline diabetic, my doctor suggested bypass or lap band surgery. I was 65, had at least 100 pounds to lose and arthritic knees. I lost about 30lbs. in 6 months on my own, but it was very up and down. Then I followed Go Figure’s plan to the letter and lost over 100lbs. in 7 1/2 months. I’ve gone from pant size 52 to 38, and size 4XL to L. I can now mow the yard and do many things I could never do at my previous weight. I am now on maintenance to keep the weight from ever coming back.

I was severely overweight, and had to go to the ER after a hunting trip. I was ghost white and could hardly breathe. Then I took a trip to New York to meet my fiancé’s family, and sightseeing in New York City was extremely tiring. We came back and Liz and I started the program together, and we both lost a lot of weight. Work has gotten easier due to the weight loss. I have really enjoyed hiking and hunting this fall, and no longer get winded while climbing the hills. I feel like a new person.

I came to Go Figure because I was tired of looking at myself and everyone else looking at me. I was very unhappy with the way I felt and looked. Other diets in the past didn’t work for me like Go Figure did. I wanted to be healthy for my husband and kids, and I needed a lifestyle change which is why I came to Go Figure. I am healthier overall and have more energy.

Harry’s Tips for Success on the Go Figure Program
1. I eat vegetables with breakfast every morning. I sauté some vegetables like peppers, brussel sprouts or asparagus then add two scrambled eggs and make a frittata. It gives me one of my 4 servings of vegetables and the protein in the eggs fills me up until lunch.
2. I eat a lot more fish and seafood than I did before. Now, when I have a steak I think of it as a special treat that I can enjoy without guilt.
3. Satisfying my sweet tooth. I used to have a bowl of ice cream after dinner, which was a big factor in my weight gain. Now, if I feel like something sweet, I chew a piece of sugarless gum. It satisfies my sweet tooth without the calories.
4. I make my own dressings. It is easy to find flavored olive oils and vinegars along with some mustard and spices, and you can make a flavorful dressing without the additives and extra fat.
I am very happy that I lost all that weight, but even happier that I have kept the weight off. I am used to my new eating habits and keeping my weight under control is second nature to me now. Since losing the weight, I have been able to stop taking 4 blood pressure medications. The money I’ve saved on medications has paid for my Go Figure program!
