Dr. Richard Gilbert sent me to Genesis in July of 2009. I was steadily gaining weight, had been to the Duke Lipids Clinic for help with high cholesterol and triglycerides, taking a shot for diabetes, and was overall depressed and anxious. I was truly about to give up. Nothing the Duke doctors were doing was working and I was tired of them telling me to lose weight and fussing every visit because I had not. Dr. Gilbert handed me a Genesis "prescription" sheet and we made a three-month deal that I would try the program then return to him. The first week of jazzercize I almost threw up trying to touch my toes but I didn't quit. I really was angry when I went that first week without bread and sweets but I did what Karen and Alan said because I promised Dr. Gilbert I would. When I weighed in, I had lost 5 lbs. I couldn't believe it! I kept going and I found that I was not as depressed and weepy as I had been. I found out I could actually dance and I saw the weight fall off. When I went back to Dr. Gilbert in three months not only had I lost weight, he took me off three medications, My A1C was down and my triglycerides had dropped 164 points. My cholesterol is slow going down, but I have had more success with Genesis than the Duke Lipids Clinic was EVER able to do. Now less than 7 months later, I have gone from a size 20 to a size 12. I haven't been in a size 12 in 15 years! One of the attorneys I work with asked me last week had I lost half a person. Now that is incentive to keep working! Yee Haw! "I was first introduced to Genesis Lifestyle Solutions by a co-worker that spoke highly of this program. At the time she knew I needed to lose weight from just having a baby. And considering our profession (law enforcement), we need to be physically fit. She told me it wasn't like a traditional aerobics class but what they like to call an activity class, where having fun is the key. I went to a class and loved it...then this tall guy asked me if I wanted to change my life and I haven't turned back yet. " Sixty pounds lost and Skelly continues to inspire others, such as her husband who has dropped 30 pounds. Her two young sons are learning healthy eating habits. Skelly is one of our many Genesis family members who are Real People with Real Results! I wouldn't take anything in the world for it. Genesis makes me feel better and I've got more energy." Carl said. His doctor encourages Carl to continue as well. As for a favorite song...he couldn't choose. " All of them" he says! Congratulations Carl! We love you! |
