Don S.     -  Age: 68    –    Lost: 50 lbs

In April of 2007 I was facing a number of small health issues, not the least of which I was 50 lbs overweight.  I was pretty sure that the extra weight was causing some of the problems and was exacerbating the others.  I had tried many popular diets and lost weight only to find that I gained the weight back very quickly once I became less involved with the losing.  I began a search for a healthful program that would allow me to lose the weight and provide a system for maintaining the loss!  I found Jumpstart Medicine, did some interviews to determine if it was right for me, and began the program.  By August 2007 I had reached my goal and reordered my life around being slimmer and fit.  However, life happens and on one occasion, after a long holiday season, I found myself about 10-12 lbs over my target weight.  I set an appointment and did a short program that returned me to where I wanted to be.  No program can do it all; you need discipline and commitment, but with the doctor’s help and that of the staff, anyone can do the Jumpstart program and succeed.  I’m glad I found Jumpstart and I have recommended it to many of my friends all of whom have similar results to mine.  Nearly two years after I started, I’m still on target proving to me that this is not a fad but a serious program to get health.
