One Hundred Pounds and Still Going Strong

For any mother reading this, you might understand the feeling of gaining the extra forty to fifty pounds with pregnancy, then working hard to lose it, only to gain it back again. I found myself cycling my weight gain and weight loss for six years as I went through four pregnancies. I used to be a slender 135 pounds, but found myself at 250 pounds, ugh! Not being able to ride bikes or go sledding with my children made me realize I had to change.

I sat in my first Maximized Living Makeover with my eyes wide open. It was the most life-changing information I ever heard. I have radically transformed my diet, and I even manage to make it to the gym four to five days a week as well. The most important transformation was not just for me but my children. Having to raise four kids sometimes leaves them with the easiest meals. Hot dogs, Kraft dinners, and Eggo waffles were popular in my household. Making “adult” meals only meant leftovers that I would eventually pick away at. However, we made the transition and, slowly but surely, the kids got used to the green things adults call “cucumbers.” The most important thing is that I am a role model for my children and thrive on watching them live a healthier lifestyle. Believe it or not, for all the skeptical mothers out there who dread the food fights they know they will have to endure with their own children during the changes that need to be made, they will come around a lot faster than you think!

I have lost over one hundred pounds and plan on never going back. Thank you Maximized Living for helping us transform into a maximized family.

New Beliefs, New Habits

There are many things in life that rob us of our potential to be the complete person that we were created to be, and many of those things are addictions. Ever since I was eight years old, food has been my best friend, but it has robbed me of the person I was meant to be. I realize now that’s no friend at all. Recently I took a long, hard look at that relationship and admitted to myself that it was not working out. I was addicted to food, and I could no longer enjoy life the way I used to. I’d tried to lose weight before, and when they say old habits die hard, they sure aren’t kidding. I have probably lost and regained over five hundred pounds throughout my entire lifetime.

Maximized Living has changed my entire life. I have lost over ninety pounds and the weight keeps coming off. Maximized Living has changed my belief system about who I really am and helped me understand why I was eating in the first place. With a new level of thinking about myself came new action steps that carried me beyond the bad habits. If you don’t change your belief system, you’ll never change your habits!

Many of you are just like me, and we need to find the causes behind what drives us to turn to food. I had replaced people with food because it didn’t judge me or disappoint me the way people did. I had used food to comfort me in pain and loneliness, as well as to celebrate every success. There was no occasion unaccompanied by food. Now, however, I am recognizing these patterns and I am starting to talk myself into better decisions. I must reason with myself and ask people around me to show me when I am blind to my own poor choices. I can do all of these things with Maximized Living because it contains the elements to being a healthier person inside and out. Maximized Living has shown me that I have the help I need in seminars, my personal chiropractic appointments, and classes that encourage me to keep digging deeper and discover the healthy person inside of me. Now I’m using those tools every day and discovering health that has helped me live a more fulfilling life.

Cruise Ship, Here I Come

I never knew that my weight problem was actually a hormone problem! I had tried everything and was never able to lose any weight until I found out how to get my leptin levels under control. Before starting the program, I suffered from daily fatigue, soreness, and sleep apnea. I was tired all the time, so I never felt like exercising. As a result, my weight was steadily increasing. Being sick and overweight was costing me a lot of joy in my life. My job was harder, and I hated watching my health go downhill.

Under the Maximized Living program, I got spinal adjustments, detoxification, and I followed the Lose Ten Pounds Fast eating plan. I also began surge training. I lost more than ten pounds though. I lost forty pounds in two months! With the great recipes, it was a breeze. This is the first time I’ve ever been able to keep weight off because my leptin imbalance is fixed. By continuing my surge training just twelve minutes a week, it’s been almost effortless to keep it off.

I realized my neck was in terrible shape when I learned about the Arc of Life and how much it controls organ function and health. Now I know that being adjusted will be a part of the rest of my life. Each treatment feels as if it turns the lights on in the areas of my body that have degenerated. I had surgery a few years ago, and they botched the epidural, leaving me with numbness and burning in my legs when I was on my feet. Since I started getting the power turned on, that is gone! I never thought that it would go away, and it feels great to know that I can heal. I lay hardwood floors for a living, and the other guys are having a hard time keeping up with me now.

I love how I feel, but Maximized Living has been a huge blessing for my family too. My wife lived for a long time with depression, seasonal allergies, and neck and back pain. She had tried drugs and other chiropractors without success. On the Advanced Eating Plan, she lost twelve pounds quickly. She sleeps much better now and has enough energy to keep up with our kids!

Our sons are also benefiting from adjustments and a better diet. The older one is doing well in school without his ADD medicine, and our youngest is able to control his behavior better and is no longer wetting the bed at night.

I have more energy than I’ve had in years, and I know that I will be regenerating instead of degenerating for the rest of my life. You will find me on that cruise ship!

I Reversed My Diabetes in Two Weeks!

Before I found Maximized Living, I had been diabetic for ten years. I weighed 260 pounds, and sleep apnea made me miserable. Due to my size 48 waist, I needed clothes so large I felt like I was wearing a tent. I was hooked up to a C-PAP machine to sleep, and my feet hurt so much from the diabetes that I had to wear special shoes for neuropathy (nerve pain). I tried special diets to control my diabetes but nothing ever worked. I was uncomfortable and discouraged.

The Maximized Living program began to change all of that. I got spinal adjustments, followed the Advanced Eating Plan and exercised by doing surge training. Right away I began losing a pound every three days and had lost over twenty pounds in two months. In seven months, I had taken off sixty pounds. I am still losing weight, and I have dropped to a size 40. I can wear normal clothes now!

Even better, I am no longer diabetic! After only two weeks of starting the program, my morning (fasting) glucose level went from 229 (diabetic) to around 90-110 (normal). With few exceptions, it has stayed there for the last ten months.
