46 yrs old Female - 5'8"" - started 203 - wearing a size 14: I started Medi - Raleigh in May after I went to my orthopedic doctor and he told me that I needed to lose 30 lbs immediately. He explained that with my family history & current condition I was looking at multiple surgeries ahead. Add in type 2 diabetic and I may lose a limb in the future and be wheelchair bound early in life. I looked in the mirror and knew I had some pounds to shed but had not seen all that. So I sought out a way to do things different. I found Medi- Raleigh and gave it a try. I went in feeling sluggish, tired, run down, blah, etc. I was not sure how they could help me because I have always lived for the moment and never dieted. Not sure I have ever said ""no"" to anything. BOY what I learned in my 1st week!! I took my morning sugar levels from 168 to 101 in 7 DAYS!! I was so proud of myself! It has really changed my life. I tell everyone...now I ""get it"". I travel for my job and it is stressful. I have done good sticking to my new way of life. I fall off every now and then and the staff is there to help me every step of the way. They have taught me so much about myself and food. I have lost 17 lbs and still losing. Weight is just a number on a scale - The most important thing is that I FEEL WONDERFUL! I can wear my old jeans (size 12 & 10's) again and I don't get out of breath doing simple things. I no longer feel sluggish, run down, tired, etc. I recommend to anyone - no matter if you have tried other things or not - GIVE IT A TRY!
