I toyed around with the idea of enrolling in the HarrisFast program for months. I was disgusted with my weight and appearance. My weight limited my activities, also. My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was very high and I was starting to get winded under even mild exertion. I decided, finally, to take action. I went to the doctor for a check up and got his approval, conditioned on my doing the medically-supervised program.

The program has been great. I have lost 85 pounds. I went from a size 48 suit I could not button, to a size 40 I can button. I cut the dosage of my blood pressure medicine by 75% and hope to get off of it altogether before I am finished. Even with the reduced dosage, my blood pressure is significantly lower than when I started. I reduced my cholesterol by 75 points. The high point came on my last lab results, when every item was in the pink column, meaning within the desired range. So, I have gone from morbid obesity to “in the pink” in less than a year. This has had so many benefits. I have more energy, lots more energy. I have a better attitude. I am not tired all the time. I am not hot all the time. Traveling is so much easier. Working in the yard is easier. Everything is easier.

I also look so much better. After losing about 11 inches off my waist, I look younger and more fit. My stomach is flat instead of extending several inches beyond my belt. I can wear clothes comfortably. People who have not seen me in months do not recognize me. Others say I look like I did 20 year ago. I am going to miss all this attention when people get used to how I look!

Another great facet of losing all this weight with HarrisFast has been the ability to help others. I know a lot of people and come into contact with many people through my work. As soon as people began to recognize I was losing a lot of weight, they started asking me how I was doing it. So I tell them how the program works, how good it is that you do not have to be hungry, and how well it works if you do what they tell you.

As a result, many who need to lose weight want to try the program. I give them the referral card or tell them how to contact HarrisFast, and the wonderful people at HarrisFast take it from there. It is great because I feel I am really helping people. There are many people who know they need to lose weight, but are truly dismayed at the prospect of a diet. They feel they are in for a lot of suffering and deprivation. I tell them I haven’t suffered at all and I never feel deprived. I love the “more is better” approach. They are amazed when I tell them about it.

Almost every week, someone I have referred tells me how much they have lost and thanks me for the referral. It doesn’t get much better than that.
