I have been overweight the majority of my adult life. My weight peaked this year at 445 pounds. Emotionally, I was in a dark place with no way out. I felt trapped in my own body. I barely walked or moved. I slept around the clock. I couldn't really play with my son or fully participate in family events.

I was a prisoner on my own couch…

I finally hit rock bottom on a family trip to the aquarium. The walk from the parking lot to the aquarium exhausted me. I was only able to move from bench to bench between exhibits. I physically wasn’t able to participate with my family. Every time my son came over and asked me to come see something, I painfully had to tell him "No." My son grabbed my hand and begged, "Please Daddy, come see Nemo!" with those pleading eyes and it ripped my heart apart. That was my breaking point. The giant realization that I was not being a good father or husband came over me. Of course, I certainly provided them with emotional support, but what they needed most was an active parent. I had been so incredibly introverted and completely consumed by my limitations. I had never been aware of just how selfish I was being.

At that point I resolved that my family was more important than food…

Fortunately, my son's karate instructor, Justin Leonetti, introduced me to the YOR Health Products. In my first two weeks, I dropped 15 pounds through the use of the products, a healthy diet and an amazing support network! I started off small by simply getting off the couch and just walking. I purchased the Slim Set and took the products religiously! I would start the day with the YOR Probiotics and YOR Complete Burn. I’d have a shake for breakfast and lunch. I followed those meals with healthy snacks and a good healthy dinner. I took the YOR Digest Ultra supplement each meal.

On my first 8-Week Challenge, I lost 62 pounds! It was a LIFE CHANGING accomplishment. I could walk, and be really mobile! Most exciting part of all, I could play with my son! No more having to say "No" to him. The despair lifted and I could see light at the end of the tunnel. The YOR Health Community voted me "1st Place Winner" for my challenge group and $1,000.00 in products! This motivated me greatly and helped me continue my weight loss journey. To boot, with tons of new products given to me, I incorporated the YOR Daily Vitamins, and finally tried the YOR Fiber and YOR SuperGreens, which are AMAZING! All have become staples as part of my daily routine.

Three challenges later, I have lost a total of 115 pounds. My weight is down to 330 pounds, a 12-year low!

The support that I have received from the company and the community is humbling. It inspires me to continue working hard and to serve as an example for someone else that may have been struggling. Now I can say: "Yes, there is a better way and you can do it, too!"

Thank you YOR Health! With your help, I’m going to get to my final goal of losing 200 pounds! I am proud to be a member of the 100-Pound Club! I know I still have a long way to go, but I am committed to my new lifestyle and focused on my goal.

Where I am today is just a step along the way.
