"Since I joined the HealthStyles Program in May 2007, I’ve lost 72 pounds – and counting. I have more energy and am happier as well as healthier. Before, I was a typical couch potato and borderline diabetic and made excuses not to go out of the house. My aunt saw the ad for HealthStyles in the paper and I went to the seminar. I decided to try this program because I liked the atmosphere at Dr. Vuong’s office – everyone smiles and wants to help you succeed. I especially like working as a group. It’s easy to fall off the wagon when you’re on your own, but the group helps you through and makes you want to continue. The program makes staying on track easy, because everyone you need to see is in one place.
I’ve completed the Optifast meal-replacement program and am now eating regular food again. I had tried weight loss programs three times before, but I’d stop going and put the weight back on. Since I completed HealthStyles, I’ve continued to lose weight because of what I learned in the program – how to cook healthier, how to make better choices when I eat out, what to weed out of my kitchen, and how to exercise. I still come to the support groups every other week and am taking advantage of the lifetime membership.
If you are ready to make a change in your life, I recommend you do your research and come to Dr. Vuong’s seminar. Remember, I was like you! I thought I needed the Lap-band surgery, but I had great results with the Optifast Program. The staff will have a detailed consultation with you and decide which option works best for your lifestyle. They can also help you with payment options – I’ve paid for everything out-of-pocket and Dr. Vuong helped set me up with a loan from Associated Credit Union. This has been a great investment for me, and I can’t think of anything else I would want in a weight-loss program."
