Weight Loss Success Story - Scott & Lisa Olmstead

Hi, my name is Lisa Olmstead and I'm 54 years old. Hi, I'm Scott Olmstead and I'm 57 years old. We came to Positive Changes because we wanted to make a difference in our lives. We felt we both needed to lose some weight. We knew a person before that was an avid smoke and smoked all his life that had been hypnotized and had stopped smoking. I came across an article in the newspaper that was for Positive Changes and I knew the success that this other person had and I thought that is something we should try. I went from a size 18 down to a size 6 and I weighted 175 lbs and I weight 124 lbs today. When I walked in the door I was a size 48 waist approaching fast the size 50 waist and I weighted 268 lbs and now I'm at 185 lbs. top ^

Weight Loss Success Story - Sylvia Huelsman

Hi, I'm Sylvia Huelsman and I'm over 60. I came to Positive Changes because I was tired of losing weight over and over again. What finally brought me here was we had a retirement party for someone I used to work with and we took a picture. When I looked at my picture I thought, oh my goodness, I need to do something drastic. So, I had tried all kinds of other things and I saw the ad for Positive Changes and I decided to give that a try. My background is in education and mental health and both of the things they do here made a lot of sense to me. We had classes. Nutrition classes were very helpful for me. The deep relaxation that we do helps to get what they are trying to teach you into your head. top ^

Weight Loss Success Story - Dallas Little

My name is Dallas Little and I live in Seattle Washington. I am 34 and I am a Sous chef I first heard about Positive Changes on the radio. I was feeling stressed and run down all the time, weighing 430 1bs was taking a toll on me. I was embarrassed; being this big people always looked at me. Having to go on a plane and having to get the seat belt extension was very embarrassing for me. I was the heaviest I have ever been in my life and that is when I came to Positive Changes. When I had my first visit with Positive Changes I set a goal to lose 100 lbs in the first year and the next 100 lbs in the second year. This is something my evaluator and I decided I could accomplish. I have lost 195 1bs in 7 months. It's only taken me 7 months to accomplish what I thought would take 2 years!! !!! My pant size has gone from a size 54 to a size 34, even my shoe size has gone from a 13 to a 12 and now the 12's are loose. top ^

Weight Loss Success Story - Emily Brady

Hi, my name is Emily Brady and I'm from Waggaman, Louisiana. After giving birth to my third child, I became content with life. We frequently ate out. I ate when the kids ate and constantly snacked between meals. My complacency caused me to gain a staggering amount of weight in a short period of time. I tried to lose weight with an array of weight-loss fads and diets. I'd deprive myself and pray it would make a difference. It didn't. I'd end up binging on chocolate or snacks. Each time I'd gain back my weight faster than I lost it. top ^

Weight Loss Success Story - Sherrie Wood

My name is Sherrie Wood and I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia. I am a retired realtor and a widow with a daughter and a granddaughter. I used to be overweight and stressed. I thought my dreams of weight loss were hopeless. Then I went to Positive Changes and lost 42 lbs.! I could barely squeeze into a tight size 20 but now I wear a slim 10. Even my feet lost weight. Best of all, I've kept my weight off. I feel vibrant. I know I'll never have a weight problem again, and it feels so good to be free of my weight. The fee for the program was reasonable—you'd pay more for diet pills you have to order again 30 days later. My doctor says I look wonderful. He even sent me a note saying how outstanding my health is. My blood pressure is normal and my cholesterol is at an incredible level for my age. My doctor still marvels that, after 5 years, my weight hasn't come back. top ^
