"Five years ago my starting weight was 620 at my heaviest, I was sleeping sitting up because I couldn't lay flat in a bed, my legs and feet were leaking fluid and my feet were clubbing from pitting edem. My heart rate was higher trying to sleep than it was when I was working out. I started by walking around my neighborhood block in North Attleboro, MA when I was working and living up there. I wore a size 68 in the waist and a size Seven X in a shirt. I had an average of 389 obstructive sleep apneas a night, my resting heart rate was a 109, and my bp was 181/118. I was on the verge of an early death. Today, I am 195 lbs. because living and not having someone else raise my daughter meant more to me than dying. Thank you God and and thank you ********.(name removed to comply with message board rules) Your programs and ******* (name removed to comply with message board rules) helped save my life. I will never be able to thank you enough. 425 lbs. in five years. I Brought It and I will keep pushing play for the rest of my life!!"
