I have been with Kimkins since August of 2007 and I would LOVE to share my success story with you and everyone.
.
So here it goes …
.
After reaching a hefty 240 pounds I was seriously looking in Lapband or gastric bypass surgery. I had already gone to the meetings to learn about the options and even contacted my insurance company to see what I needed to do in order for them to help me with the costs.
.
I was really scared about the surgery and awfully depressed. I was chatting with a friend of mine online and she was telling me about this great eating plan that her daughter was on. She was telling me how much she has lost and how good she was doing. I asked for more info and she told me to go to Kimkins.com to check it out.
.
I did go to the site and read all the testimonials. Of course I was skeptical, who wouldn’t be with results that were so amazing? But I liked the plan and I felt that I owed it to myself to try one more time to lose the weight without surgery. So I signed up. got started, and never looked back.
.
In a brief summary, here are some of my quick results:
.
* Started August 6th at 240 pounds
* Goal set was to reach 170 pounds
* Lost 10 pounds my first week
* 8 pounds my second week
* Down 30 pounds in 5 weeks!!!
* 1/2 way to my first goal by the end of September
* In ONEDERland in 2 months!!!
* Reset my new goal to 145 since it was coming off so easily
* Down 75 pounds by the end of the year (about 21 weeks)!!!
.
If anyone would have told me that I would have lost 75 pounds between Aug and end of Dec, I would have thought they were crazy!!!
.
But – it’s true!!!
.
Since the first of the year I got down to 158 for a total of 82 pounds gone! Since then, I have been maintaining between 158-163. I am really happy with that. I know I still need to lose another 13-18 pounds to reach goal and I will. But right now, I am happy where I am and so is everyone that I love.
.
For the first time in along time, I am looking forward to spring and summer. No more hiding behind coats and jackets for me!!!  In addition to the weight loss, there are no more swollen feet, no aches and pains in my back or knees, and no more feeling tired and run down all the time. I feel great and have lots of energy.
.
I went from wearing size 20-22 jeans to size 10-12!!! Shirts went from 24w to 14-16!!! It didn’t take long at all to lose the weight. I feel like I blinked and it was gone.
.
I am thankful everyday for Kimkins!!! The online support is the best!!! This is BY FAR – the best eating plan out there.  I recommend it all the time!!!
