"Howdy y’all, my name’s Bob. I live in a little community right here in central Mississippi, and I appreciate you lettin’ me share my long road with weight loss."

 

My Early Struggles
"Back when I was 55, I had to face the truth—I was morbidly obese and mighty unhealthy. I weighed close to 300 pounds, with a BMI of 51.5. I’d just started a new job, and a few of us decided to lose some weight together. HR found a hospital program in a nearby town. Well, I lost about 60 pounds, but those medications gave me side effects. They gave me more pills to fix the first ones. One Saturday, ridin’ my Segway at the town market, I blacked out and plowed into a lady’s jelly booth. Broke some jars, handed her $50, and that was the end of my hospital program."

 

The Marathon Years
"Ten years later, when I turned 65, I gave myself a gift—I trained for and finished a marathon. Took me seven and a half hours, but I crossed that line and could proudly say, ‘I finished!’ That same year my wife and I hiked up Mount LeConte in the Smokies. But truth be told, I still weighed 220 pounds. I’d joke I wasn’t overweight, just under-tall. Tried one of those microwave meal programs—little pouches you mix with water. Lost another 60 pounds, down to 160. But when I quit, the weight crept back up to 200."

 

The Heart Scare
"In 2020, my cardiologist said I needed a heart cath. I told my wife the night before, and let’s just say she didn’t sleep too good. At 75, just ten years after runnin’ that marathon, I ended up havin’ quadruple bypass surgery.

Thank the Lord, I healed quick and was home in four days, carryin’ that little red heart-shaped pillow everywhere I went. It became my buddy for a while."

 

Finding a Better Way
"By the time I hit 80, I was sittin’ around 197 pounds. My shoulder doctor put me in a program called PreScribe Fit—healthy eatin’, exercise, weekly calls. Lost 10 pounds, but I knew I needed more. I didn’t want them ole GLP-1 shots that mess with your head and cause all sorts of side effects. I wanted something natural—something that actually fed my body what it craves. That’s when I heard about an old acquaintance in the nutraceutical business. He’d developed a program that gives your body the nutrition it needs, keeps calories low, and helps you lose weight steady and safe."

 

Real Results

I joined the clinical trial. In four weeks, I lost seventeen pounds. By week seven, I was down twenty-one. By week fourteen I was down thirty-four and still on track for a goal of one forty-five.
