The USPM team has helped me very much. I had been struggling to continue since I started in December 2015. But I never quit and have lost almost 50 pounds in a little over a year, and I will take it! Thank you for always being too kind and taking care of my health.
It all started on February 4, 2016 when I was diagnosed with diverticulosis and weighed 315 pounds. A year later, I’ve lost over 50 pounds; and, with the help of my coach being compassionate and very knowledgeable, I’ve kept it off!
Between April and August, I have lost 24 pounds with the help of a trainer and my Registered Nurse Care Manager. Now I am exercising at Planet Fitness; I just joined in December when they opened in my home town. I would never have thought I would be doing this type of thing at 61!
Thanks for all of your assistance to get me on the correct path. The best news of all is that I had my departmental physical today. I had the best blood pressure in years… 127/60.
I can’t believe my transformation. Over the last three years, I have eaten better and exercised. I saw my doctor and everything is in normal range for my lab work. I have lost over 100 pounds and plan on running a 10K.
My coach stayed in contact with me, every single week, and gave me suggestions. She helped me change the way I saw and approached my environment to make my life more relaxing such as breathing techniques, meditation, identifying triggers, et cetera... Thanks all for the great work, all the material shared, and the encouraging words that I received every day.
After working with my health coach, my goal was to run a 5K – and it’s completed! I ran daily for 30 days to build up my strength and energy to complete the “Hustle for the Puzzle” run for autism awareness. I completed my running program, and then I ran my 5K and completed it in just under an hour. I felt accomplished and wanted to run more!
Thanks to The Preventive Plan, I am more conscientious of my daily walk of 2 miles. It helps curb my appetite and reminds me to make healthier choices on my snacks and meals. When I don’t get my daily walk in for a week, then I definitely notice it on the scale. I also do yoga for relaxation and spiritual comfort. It adds to my healthy lifestyle and helps me focus on my blessings from God.
Before the body tone challenge, I was doing nothing for exercise. This was a good way for me because I had to try exercises that I had never done before. I plan to keep exercising, as I know my health has suffered because I haven’t been exercising.
They are short (so I can watch them at work), but they are really informative and interesting… For example, I never knew why overweight people tended to have high blood pressure. The video on how fat impacts the kidneys was fascinating to me.
The Preventive Plan’s routine labs and biometrics screening found I had dangerous levels of glucose, and I was not aware I was a diabetic. I changed my entire lifestyle and now have normal glucose levels and am hoping to come off the diabetes medication.
