When Sara started with Go Figure she was a size 18 and 192 lbs. : 4 ½ months later : size 6, 146 lbs. 

Sara has maintained her reduced size for a over 1 1/2 years!

I had a tough couple of years after my Dad and Mom passed away. I was sad all the time and eating was my primary source of comfort. I put the immediate satisfaction I got from food over the long term life satisfaction of looking good and being healthy. I was having one of those mornings when nothing goes right and my largest pairs of pants (size 18) were grossly tight. Then I heard the ad for Go Figure on the radio. At first I laughed to myself knowing that I have never successfully lost weight and the weight I had lost required strict dieting and hours in a gym. But in realizing I had just lost both my parents before they were 55 to heart related conditions, I needed to get over my pity party and get healthy.

During my first visit to Go Figure I met with Dr. Buss. There was one thing he said that ultimately was the turning point for me. He told me that “Go Figure can help you lose the weight, but until you get healthy mentally and physically, the weight will just come back.” He was 100% right! Losing weight wasn’t going to make me happy, it would just make me healthy. After that meeting I was determined to become healthy in all aspects of my life. The first week on the program was an adjustment, but at my first weigh-in I lost 11 pounds!!! I thought for sure it was mostly water weight, but it was enough motivation to keep me dedicated to the program for the next week. Then the following week I lost another 4 pounds!!! After that, I knew that if I followed the plan I would make my goal weight. I originally wanted to get down to 155 pounds, knowing that I’ve NEVER been able to get below that. When the scale got to 155 and I decided to try a couple more weeks on the program,was shocked that I kept losing.

A couple of months after joining Go Figure my boyfriend proposed. I was on top of the world and excited about making wedding plans. They say every bride looks beautiful on their wedding day, but I didn’t want to be the beautiful overweight bride; this was just one more reason why I needed to be diligent about following the program and sticking to my weekly appointments. I have been able to maintain my weight now for over a year, and two days before my wedding I weighed in at 146 pounds. I walked out of the office feeling like a beautiful and healthy bride.

The staff at Go Figure are AMAZING and I can’t say enough great things about them. They never judged me if I had a bad week and was up in weight. Instead they gave encouragement and provided me with the knowledge I needed to get back on track. I can honestly say that Go Figure helped give me my life back, and with all the tools and knowledge I have learned from them I can keep it that way!

Don’t let your life get in the way of being healthy. I had just as many excuses as the next person; I work 65 hours a week on top of being a wife and homeowner. The program is easy and can accommodate the craziest of lives. If I can lose weight so can anyone else. In fact, I have recommended Go Figure to 4 co-workers, 3 friends, and my aunt, and they ALL were successful in losing weight and meeting their goals!!!!!
