A friend of mine joined the program and immediately had nothing but praise for Go Figure. It was a no brainer for me to join. The easy to-follow diet changed my lifestyle, but the people at Go Figure are what kept me going. The staff and their encouragement got me to my goal weight.

Now that I reached my goal, the compliments are flooding in! I feel healthier, happier and ready for life! I was nervous to go on maintenance, but the program changed the way I look at food and the temptations are very manageable.

The staff at Go Figure was one of the biggest factors in my weight loss. Other programs throw booklets and pamphlets at you, but at Go Figure I had one-on-one time each week to ask any questions I had (and I had a lot!). Each week, as the pounds came off, the staff celebrated with me and provided encouragement.

When people congratulate me on my weight loss, they imply that it must have been hard work, I tell them that with Go Figure, it was easy to lose the weight. I used to be an athlete but the past few years, I struggled to climb stairs. Now, I run up the stairs. I went from wearing size 44 pants to size 32. I’ve been wearing my son’s clothing! If anyone has struggled with their weight for years like I have, I would suggest giving Go Figure a try. The time, effort, and cost, are definitely worth the results I have experienced.

Linda’s Tips for Weight-Loss Success

1. Who I “view” myself to be is who I will become. If I think of myself as heavy, my decisions on what to eat will coincide with that view and what will happen….soon I will be heavy. Be kind to myself and think positively of my body.

2. Don’t avoid appointments at the center because my weight is not what I want it to be. That is exactly when I need to go in. The counselors will understand, encourage and help!

3. Learn my triggers to poor choices then I can learn better responses to those triggers. Personally, I am learning that I have many….winter, emotion, stress, even celebration.

4. I am worth the work that it takes to eat healthy!

Linda’s Story

My weight has been a battle my entire life. Down 20, up 20….down 30, up 30. I have literally tried, probably every “gimmick” out there. I always had temporary success, but was unable to keep it off, probably because the weight loss is by such extreme manners that I was incapable of maintaining it. I had actually come to the point that I researched surgery, but I am so glad that someone shared the Go Figure program with me!

The program works! I lost weight almost every single week, even traveling, attending many special events and eating out. I averaged a loss of almost 2 ½ lbs per week. The support from the staff is excellent! The time they spent educating and encouraging me each week is well worth the time from your schedule, as well as the cost! It inspired my success. I have learned something valuable from each visit.

I am 51 years old and haven’t been at this weight since before I had the first of my 4 kids 28 years ago, and honestly never thought that I would! I am so excited because I think that I am ready and able to maintain this healthy weight. Go Figure has changed my life!

Over a year ago I had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and had been suffering from weight gain as a result. I had tried all the fad diets to try to lose the extra pounds I’d put on, and of course I’d lose, I’d gain, I’d lose, then gain.When I got engaged last Thanksgiving, I was determined to look my best for my wedding. I’ve been on Go Figure for 12 weeks and have dropped over 40 lbs and at least 6 dress sizes!

The plan was a cinch to follow and all the staff is so supportive. They’ve made it easy for me to stay motivated.The best experience I’ve had since I started Go Figure, was ordering my wedding dress in a size 6. I look and feel the best I ever have!

I had tried diets of all types for several years, some worked, and some didn’t. After seeing the ads in the Bozeman Chronicle and the people’s stories of how they lost weight, I decided to give the program a try. My experience with Go Figure has been very good; the staff is helpful and informative and the girls are very sweet.

When I came to them, I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and was severely overweight.Since starting the program, my health has improved immensely. I have more energy, lower blood pressure and best of all, my self-confidence is back!

Maurene’s Story

katespringer — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 18:18:10 +0000

A few short months ago, I was overweight, tired, and, to be perfectly honest, hating how I looked. But the idea of facing yet another diet—one that would likely make me more tired and hungry—was too much. Like many others, I’d tried all the diets. Some worked, but most didn’t.

You name it, I’d given it a try: low fat, low carb, high carb, high fat, high protein, Atkins, South Beach…the list goes on. I’d lose a few pounds, or even many, but eventually, the weight stopped coming off and started coming back on—plus more. I was the typical yo-yo dieter.

Even though I was exhausted and avoided mirrors, the idea of starting another diet—and failing—was almost as depressing as being overweight. Having dieted, crash dieted, and more, facing several months of hunger, being cranky, and deprivation was too much to think about.

One afternoon I ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in a while. She looked fabulous! And I’m not talking about just her figure—although that had changed, too. She looked radiant. Her face was bright and clear. Her hair was shiny and healthy. And her eyes were full of energy. Basically, she was glowing! And she’d lost a lot of weight. “You look amazing!” I said, she replied “Go figure.”

I didn’t get it at first. Then she explained the program. I called that afternoon and scheduled an appointment for the next day. Sitting in the orientation, I truly did not believe I’d hit my goal weight. Starting at 176 pounds, I hoped to get to 155. That would be a miracle. Still, the counselors said I would do it, and I set my goal weight: 136. (It’s what I weighed in high school.)

About four months later, I weighed in at 133, and I’ve stayed at that number. I have more energy, my blood work numbers have returned to normal, and I don’t have to avoid the mirror! Go Figure has been a lifesaver; it has enabled me to lose the weight by incorporating healthy but good-tasting food, and without starving myself or being cranky. While it may sound cliché, if I can do it, anyone can!

I saw a photo in the newspaper with a man who had lost over 100 lbs with Go Figure, he looked great. I ran into another friend and noticed she also looked great, I asked her what she was doing, and she told me about Go Figure. After talking with her, I decided to check out the Go Figure website. I told my wife Evelyn about the program and she said that if I wanted to join the program, she was behind me 100%.

Since I have been with Go Figure, everything has been great. Any questions I have had have been addressed. I also have a crazy work schedule and the staff has been very accommodating. This has been a great life changing experience for me. I love the way I look and feel. Of course, who wouldn’t after losing over 115 pounds! Thank you Go Figure team!

Health conditions improved: The weight loss has helped with my sleep apnea and my energy level is much higher

Significant impact: The way I feel about myself as a person on the outside now matches the way I feel on the inside. The best compliments I’ve had are from my wife.

Starting weight: 345

Current weight: 229.4

Pant size when you started the program: 48

Current pant size: 38

Karen’s Story

I came to Go Figure to start a permanent lifestyle change for health and longevity. I felt I really couldn’t afford the program and assumed I would go a few weeks to get started. It’s been 7 months and week after week the money was in my budget. I finally realized how much I was saving by not buying processed foods and eating at fast food places! I have lost more than 70lbs. so far and feel better than I have in 25 years! 30 years of “dieting” doubled my size so I am proof it’s never too late and anyone can do this!

Here are some tips from Karen for success on the program:

-          If I am traveling I often stop at a Town Pump and grab prepared snacks like cheese sticks, veggies and dip. I also like hard boiled eggs and beef jerky.

-          At restaurants I mainly stick to my no bread/no sugar rule. I don’t worry about calories or portion size. At home I like to think like a diabetic, then you can’t go wrong!

-          I also love yams and have at least half of one every day. I find this keeps sugar cravings satisfied, plus they are too good for you to skip! (Be careful though, these should be minimized till maintenance)

-          I find that breakfast is the most important meal of the day! The earlier I eat it, the faster I lose weight.

I love my new body! I have been keeping the weight off (over 4 years). Friends tell me I look great, younger, less stressed, and healthier. Even my hay fever went away. I enjoy being thin. I’ve tried so many ways to lose weight and Go Figure is the only thing that works. I am in control of my body and will stay thin for life thanks to Go Figure!

I hit my 40’s and began to gain weight. I was always able to eat anything I wanted and did not have the knowledge or discipline to take the weight off. A friend started the program a year before I did and in 6 months had lost the weight she wanted- and kept it off. That convinced me. This program has taught me how to eat, what to eat, and how to keep the weight off. Also, they provide continuing support after your weight goal has been reached. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very supportive. They made losing weight simple and stress-free.
