Take a look at the progress our Weight Management Program participants have made!

Sandy DeShazo

I've lost 100 lbs in a year!

In the 10-week program, my total cholesterol dropped from 259 to 153 and my triglycerides went from 175 to 93!!!  My HDL went up from 38 to 48 and my LDL dropped from 126 to 96.  I was on the verge of medication and now I have no need.

I feel like the old me!  I have come alive.  I have gone from a couch hugger to an energized lover of life.  I am able to keep up with my grandkids and work out in the yard.  I never want to sit down anymore.  The energy just won’t quit!  Furthermore, I have never been a morning person.  My husband of 30 years always wanted me to get up with him to start his day.  I was not in the least bit interested and it just didn’t seem possible.  Now, I get up before him and can’t wait to start my day. 

Exercise was never appealing to me.  When I first started this program, I acquired the nickname Moana and Groana from my aerobics instructor.  Now, I am “Ready Freddy” and enter each class with excitement!  I have even started adding extra steps and a few more grooving moves to keep up!

Three years ago… I had high blood pressure, high triglycerides, horrible cholesterol and was fighting to control Type II Diabetes.  I questioned whether it was possible to get my health under control with the EZHI program. I enrolled in the 10 week Weight Management Program and began my journey to GOOD HEALTH. Not only did I lose weight, but I was able to discontinue taking all of my medications for my health problems.

At that point I felt successful but I questioned whether it was possible to maintain my success over the long haul.  The answer is a big YES! Today, I maintain my weight and I keep all of my health issues under control without medication thanks to the EZHI Continuation Program. With my hemoglobin A1C at 5.6 and blood sugars between 95 and 110, my doctor almost forgets that I am a diabetic…and so do I.  Thanks EZHI for helping me get healthy and stay that way.

In a year, I’ve lost 103 lbs!

The best decision of my life was when I decided to call EZHI in 2005.  I had forgotten what it was like to look and feel great!  I succeeded thanks to the great teaching and training and I continue to enjoy the support of the entire staff and my EZHI friends.

I lost 35 lbs and 5 inches off my waist!  My ratio of bad to good cholesterol went from 4.9 to 1.2 and I am no longer taking Tricor.  I am amazed at the improvement in my overall fitness in just 10 weeks.  I joined for my wife and she was concerned that the workouts wouldn’t be enough for me.  It was just right and it has gotten me in great shape.

Look below to see how I improved on my labs from March 2004 to June 2006!

  • Cholesterol went from 244 to 148

  • Triglycerides went from 253 to 67

  • HDL went from 41 to 68

  • VLDL went from 152 to 13

 

Marc Galt

I feel like I have the metabolism I had when I was 18 years old.  Not only did I lose 24 lbs, but I greatly improved my blood pressure and cholesterol. 

Ray and Madge really show you how to combine the nutrition and exercise in a way that makes sense.  It enabled me to lose weight and also add lean muscle.  They gave me the advantage that I needed to get in shape.  Best of all, I have no doubt I can keep going.


Frank Wood

My cholesterol greatly improved and I was able to discontinue Lipitor after 12 years of taking it.  I lost 47 lbs and 5 inches off my waist!

My FAA Flight doctor said that I have added 10 years to my life expectation.  I sleep like a baby (Prior to the course, I never slept through the night).  My energy is restored and I feel like a 30 year old person.  This course is a life saver!

I now have a storage bin of clothes that do not fit anymore.  It was not really that difficult.  I believe the combination of changed eating patterns and exercise is the secret.  It’s amazing what 7 months can do!
