"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 4 years ago and experienced almost all the side effects someone could experience! Including: pain, extreme fatigue, hypoglycemia, stomach disorders, and "brain fogs" and on top of all that - I was having trouble with memory and concentration, which is essential to my job as a professional.
I went to multiple doctors hoping to get a valid diagnosis and all they would give me was pain medication. After hearing about a support group for Fibromyalgia, I attended and learned that symptoms are often lessened through weight loss, exercise, and proper diet.
So I got started with Healthy Success in Temple, TX. I began the 3+2+5 diet in August, when I was at all time low with fatigue, constant pain, and brain fogs. But I was determined to take control of this condition and not let it control me!
I didn't have that much to lose - but after 7 weeks, I lost 14 pounds. I moved into the HMR maintenance program and lost even more! 14 more pounds in 5 months - on maintenance!! I reached my goal weight and have kept the pounds off for 13 weeks now!
It's funny, because I wasn't a big snacker or poor eater before I joined Healthy Success - I paid attention to my diet and my weight. But I just couldn't seem to lose any weight by eating the so-called "low fat foods" and cutting my calories. On the 3+2+5 diet program, I learned skills to lose weight and keep it off.
Today I eat lots of food! Meal replacements, fruits and vegetables, and protein - it's such a healthy diet and I'm never hungry. There are so many things I can do now that I couldn't do 9 months ago due to the fibromyalgia - even shopping at the mall, gardening, or playing with my grandkids. And NO MORE brain fogs, memory and concentration problems. I've got more energy than I've had in years and my range of motion is so improved!
Before Healthy Success and HMR®, I really didn't have the will power or desire to exercise, even though I knew I should - especially for someone in my condition. This program has taught me that no matter what, I am accountable to my daily plan, and it keeps me motivated to exercise every day! Better yet - I want to do it for me!"
