Laurie's Success Story By Laurie Fangmann I was never an overweight child and had always been a pretty ‘on the go’ girl. I guess it was when I started having children that I became settled into a sedentary lifestyle. With each child came more weight gain… I’m sure a lot of you can relate. It was really quite amazing how fast the pounds accumulated over the years, and before I knew it, I was overweight. Weighing in at 182 pounds in 1999, (the highest I had ever been), I was clinically termed: obese. Yikes! How did that happen? 
I tried various techniques and all the ‘fad’ diets to try and get the
weight off, over the years. These programs and techniques would maybe
help me lose 5 pounds or so, but not really much more than that. There
was an herbal drop that did help me to lose about 20 pounds initially,
but over time, I gained 5 to 7 of those pounds back. After awhile, that
method didn’t seem to work for me anymore at all, and I was still
considered overweight.
In January of 2002, I decided to try something different. I enrolled in a local weight loss program. On January 7th, my first meeting, I weighed in at 167.4 pounds. My goal was to get to 140 pounds. Getting to 140 pounds seemed completely unattainable at the time. I really never thought the weight loss program would work, but it did. I have been eating within my daily caloric range for the past 7 months and I have increased my walking routine so that I walk 5 miles, 5-6 days a week. The key for me to stay motivated on this plan, however, has been Stayhealthy’s BC1 Body Composition Analyzer. Lucky for me, one of the Stayhealthy offices is located in the same town as my weight loss program. Every Wednesday night (since February) before my meetings, I would go to the Stayhealthy, Inc. office and use their BC1 device to check my weight, body fat %, lean body mass % and hydration levels. I actually looked forward to stopping by the office to check my progress and share my results with their staff. At my weight loss program meetings, I do see the numbers drop on the scale, but Stayhealthy’s BC1 is different; it gives me a whole new perspective on my body. I not only see my weight loss, but I also see my body fat decreasing each week, my lean body mass increasing and my hydration levels increasing because I am becoming leaner. I love it! The performance graphs are such a great visual for me to actually see how I am doing and know what is going on with my body. And the device is so easy to use! I’ve been telling all my friends about the BC1 and that they should try it for themselves. Now that I have been introduced to Stayhealthy's BC1, I want to buy one for my home so that I can check my progress any time I want! I am proud to say that today, July 17, 2002, I am 2.4 pounds UNDER my original weight goal. I weighed in today at 137.6 pounds. Perhaps even more staggering is that my body fat percentage has dropped from 33.91% in February 2002 to 22.87% today! My lean mass percentage went from 66.09% in February and is now 77.13%! And not only have I reached my weight goal, but I have also decreased my cholesterol over the past couple of years from 282 to 189! My doctor told me to keep doing whatever it was that I am doing! I feel great! My weight loss program, combined with Stayhealthy’s motivational BC1 body composition device, really helped me to stay on track and stay committed to my weight loss goal. |
