"I was skinny as a kid, always thin. But when I started to work, it took over my life. I had no time, and the only thing I could
do was to get fast foods or whatever was convenient. And with that, things started to get more and more out of control.

And I didn't even realize I gained all that weight. I had no idea. And then I kind of realized that I had gained all the weight by
a photograph I saw from when I went to Disneyland. Even my brother-in-law made a comment about it. He was surprised
that he couldn't hold back.

And that kind of made me think, 'Okay, I've really crossed the threshold now.' That was the breaking point for me, and I
decided that I would take control of my weight, but I didn't want to do any of those ridiculous diets that are always out there.
I've tried the diets where there are no carbs, and I've tried the diets where there are only fruits for most of the day, and I've
also tried starvation. I'm sure many people have. And those diets are very temporary, and they're very, very hard to do,
because, you're not supposed to starve. You're supposed to eat food for fuel and be healthy, so they just didn't work.

So I looked at my local gym and that's how I found out about the Food Lovers program. I started to just incorporate this into
my life, and it's just an everyday thing now. Once I got into this program, they kind of help you change your mindset and
how you view foods and the things that you say to yourself in your head.

And it's easy. It's super simple. You don't have to starve to lose weight. You actually need to eat in order to lose weight. And
with the Food Lovers program, it's just wonderful things. Like my favorite food is the French toast. I would have that every
single day. I had French toast for breakfast, I had pizza for dinner and I'd have wine and chocolate as my late night snack.
And I still lost weight.

You can do this plan at virtually any restaurant that you go to. I love the California Pizza Kitchen, and I can go there and eat.
The reason why it's not so hard is because you have to make only small changes. You don't have to make drastic
changes. You just want to be aware of whether you're getting your protein and your carbs every day. And that's not hard to
do.

People ask me all the time what am I doing. They always ask me, 'What are you taking?' And I tell them, 'I'm not taking
anything.' And so, they want to know what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. That's when I give them tips on how to get their
protein and carbs every day because it's essential to boost your metabolism and to get you on your way to burning fat.

On the Food Lovers Program, I lost 38 pounds and gained a tremendous amount of muscle. I have lots of tone now and a
lot less flabbiness and absolutely no cellulite. I love my life now, and everything is great. It's nice to be at your goal and
maybe set a new goal and continue up that. I love this, and I will recommend it to anyone. I absolutely feel I'm going to
keep the weight off because this has changed my life in a way that I feel I have complete control. I have complete control."
