My relationship with food is restoredI am one of those women who have been on a diet since I was 15 years old.
I have always been disciplined about eating and I have tried everything from Atkins to the Zone and then finally severe caloric restriction. The only thing that happened was that I messed up my metabolism, got very hungry and developed a poor relationship with
food – it was the enemy!I was skeptical about trying this program, but when I heard it explained in detail, it made a lot of sense. I started on January 15, 2002 and by June those stubborn 26 pounds were gone! The really great part is how wonderful I feel. My energy is great and I am never hungry.
The program has simply taught me how to eat to maintain my ideal body weight. I not only lost 26 pounds, but I also lost 27 inches and 3 dress sizes. I now feel totally in control and I did not gain back even one pound over the holidays. I love being at this weight and knowing I will be able to stay here for the rest of my life. - Kathy Wiechert lost 26 pounds (12 kgs) in 6 months

Quit Smoking and lose weight? I did!
After I stopped smoking, turned 50 and began having some “hormonal challenges”, my metabolism became very unstable. I gained a lot of weight in a very short period of time. Fortunately there was HealthPointe.
I have now lost a total of 50 pounds and 32 inches, went from a size 16-18 to a size 8 and have been able to keep the weight off.
As a bonus, my blood work has improved. My cholesterol, which was at 250, is now at 180 and my triglycerides, HDL and LDL levels are all normal. I not only look healthier,
I feel healthier than I have in ten years.

gastric bypass surgery for meMy name is Claude Bovee and I would like to tell you a story that I think is of great importance to a number of overweight people. On May 23, 1995, I fell from a scaffold less than 6 feet high. I had several major injuries including a broken left knee, loss of 4 inches of femur, broken right arm and elbow, broken left arm and damaged right leg. It was 2 years before I could get around on my own.
My health suffered most. I gained 85 pounds, my blood pressure went out of sight and diabetes set in among other health complications. In May of 2002,
I saw a picture of myself and could hardly believe that it was me. I knew I had to do something soon. In June, I scheduled Gastric
Bypass surgery for September 2002. An angel that my wife works with said “Please don’t let
him do that as there are so many things that can go wrong!” and introduced me to this program. I said I would give it a try while I waited for my surgery.
The program is outstanding and in just 6 months I have lost 115 pounds.
My doctor has even given me a clean bill of health and I only need to see him once a year for a physical. I hope this story will help some of you to achieve what I have.

I ate my way to my goalOwning
one of the largest real estate offices in Southern New Mexico, my
work days looked like this: run around for 18 hours, grab dinner,
sleep for 4 hours and start all over again.
The menu was simple:
15-18 cokes a day mixed with candy bars – anything to keep me
going.
In 6 years I went from a 6’3” 215 athletic, happy person, to a 340 pound overstressed business executive. Then I heard about this program. I said “If I understand correctly, I’m big, I’m fat and I need to eat more?” That’s the premise.
Over the next 8 months I ate my way to 108 pounds of weight loss. You want to know what this program means to me? It means:
- Beating the elevator up 3 flights of stairs
- Never seeing fear on the faces of people in an airplane as you walk down the aisle and hope you don’t sit next to them!
- Not having to hear Southwest Airlines say “sir, have you ever considered purchasing 2 tickets? You may be more comfortable that way”.
Some say it’s a diet, others say it’s a program, but really it’s a way for you to take control of your life back.

I never dreamed I would love to shop!
My weight had never been as low as I would have preferred since the 3rd grade.
My mom used to say I was just growing out faster than I was growing up. Unfortunately, my height never caught up.
I tried multiple things and became frustrated with the basically non existent results and my continual focus and obsessive thoughts about food. Nothing worked!
This program came along when I was feeling depressed about growing
out of all my fat clothes, and disgusted by the prospect of shopping for
even bigger clothes. It was incredible.
I could finally put a stop to
those obsessive thoughts about not eating.
I lost a total of 55 pounds and three dress sizes. Then the most exciting thing happened –
I had fun shopping for clothes and they looked good in the dressing room! I never dreamed I would have that experience in my life. I have maintained my weight loss for over six months now.
