"I have always been fat. Some of my earliest memories from childhood are of kids teasing me for being big. As I got older, my weight would fluctuate, but continue to creep higher and higher. However, I never really appreciated how high my weight had gotten until I went to the doctor's office for a physical this past April. At my doctor's appointment the scale did not go high enough to register my weight, so the nurse simply recorded 'Over 350 lbs.'. When I got the doctor's notes from the visit he indicated that my blood pressure was 'borderline hypertensive' and I had elevated blood sugar (indicating possible onset of diabetes). On top of those symptoms I was snoring badly at night and my wife was worried I might have sleep apnea.

Though I did not think there was any reason to be concerned (I think I was in denial), my wife was worried about my health. I had heard about this diet program (the Quick Weight Loss Center) on the radio, but it sounded too good to be true. 'Lose a lot of weight while not being hungry.' In May 2000 my wife and I went in for a consultation, we decided to give it a try, and I cannot be happier that we did!

MERLE LOST 156 LBS.!!!

Once you get used to the diet it is extremely easy to follow. I do not have any great willpower and I found I was able to easily follow the diet plan. At first I had to consciously think about what I was eating, but now it's second nature. I was not starving myself; in fact I had to eat MORE food than I had been eating! The real difference is in WHAT I was eating (the healthy food prescribed by the diet compared to the junk food I had been eating). The diet represents a well-balanced nutritional plan that leads to dramatic weight loss.

What do I mean by 'dramatic'? In 6 months I have lost over 120 lbs. I've gone from a size 54 inch waist to a 42 inch waist. My wedding band is now too big for my fingers and easily falls off, and I weigh less now than I did in High School (I graduated in 1984). I have more energy, I feel better about myself, and really, REALLY enjoy when people do not recognize me because I have lost so much weight. People still think I have a lot of will power, but really, the effectiveness of the diet was all the motivation I needed. The more weight I lost, the more I wanted to stay on the diet to lose more weight.

I've had to make a lot of adjustments as a result of losing all of this weight. For example, I can now sit comfortably in the seats at movie theaters. When I fly, I don't have to ask for a 'belt-extender'. However, probably the biggest adjustment I have had to make is to realize that I can now buy clothes in 'regular' stores. I'm very excited to say that I can now fit into large or extra large clothes (as opposed to the 2X and 3X clothes I had been buying). I cannot say enough good things about the diet and the staff at the Quick Loss Weight Center. I have no reservation recommending the Quick Weight Loss Center diet program to anyone who wants to lose weight. It's a great program."
