Steve Bingham lost 60 lbs in 3 months*

Results not typical. You should not expect to experience these results. Typical weight loss on the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan is up to 2 to 5 lbs per week.

My son Dr. James Bingham from Boise Idaho came to visit us here in Layton Utah with his family. While he was here he decided he and his children needed to take their overweight and out of shape grandpa on a hike up Adams Canyon to the waterfall about 1 1/2 miles up a steep trail in the mountains just East of Layton. My son is a real health nut and he has been trying get me to get back into the gym and lose weight for years. He wanted his children to grow up and know their grandpa and enjoy his company before something happened to him like a heart attack. So I accepted the challenge and headed out on a very hot Utah summer day thinking since the very young 4 and 5 year old grandchildren would not be able to go very fast and maybe with some luck they would poop out and want to go back home.

So I accepted the challenge and headed out on a very hot Utah summer day thinking since the very young 4 and 5 year old grandchildren would not be able to go very fast and maybe with some luck they would poop out and want to go back home. The start of the trail goes up at a steep 70 degree angle for about 100 feet and then it levels off when you reach the Bonneville Shoreline Trail which is much easier climbing. All I had to do was reach that part of the trail. I could not even get started! I would go maybe 5 feet and stop to rest. I would tell my son and grandson’s “oh I’m just enjoying the view just give me a minute” but after awhile my stalling didn’t work. My 5 year old grandson Connor who lives with me says “come on papa come on let’s go!” I was so embarrassed to have a 5 year old leave me in the dust. I decided that day and that minute that I was going to change my life no matter what it took and since I was raising him I had to change if I wanted to do things with him.

I was adding 10 pounds or more every year to my body and at the rate I was going to weigh 300 pounds in less than 3 years. I had problems with Berretts disease which is pre-cancer of the esophagus caused by acid reflux. I had sleep apnea, high cholesterol and many other physical issues. My son Jim “The Doc” who I had a lot of love and respect for got me on this program and I lost 60 pounds in 3 months!* Due to my weight loss my cholesterol and blood pressure have improved. After losing the weight I started working out every day in the gym not pushing too fast or too hard but enough to gradually get my body back into shape. One year later I returned to that mountain with my grandchildren to hike up to that beautiful waterfall with them. It was another 100 degree afternoon and after about 15 minutes my grandson Connor says “papa will you carry me?” What! That was a highlight of my life! I threw him on my shoulders and ran to the top of the mountain dripping sweat down my head all the way, the sweat was so bad that he could hardly hang on! The next summer I climbed the highest freestanding mountain in the World “Kilimanjaro” in Africa, and when I reached the summit I had tears of joy in my eyes. I’m 62 years old and have two more goals on my bucket list, the Senior Games and Mt. Everest in 4 1/2 years!

Brian Barton lost over 200 lbs in 12 months*

Results will vary.  Typical weight loss on the program is up to 2-5 lbs per week.

With over 13,000 hours of Pilot In Command time and over 30 years of experience, you can imagine how devestating it was to be fired from my charter pilot job for being TOO FAT! For nearly 45 of my 55 years I have battled my weight. I’ve tried every “diet” available from Atkins to the Zone and I lost weight on every one of them only to gain it all back – AND THEN SOME!
I tried dozens of diet aids, over the counter pills like Hoodia, and even prescription medication including Phen-fen. I’ve joined gym after gym, exercised daily, and had trainer after trainer each of which promised me they knew “how to lose weight.” At the advice of one doctor I even resorted to being injected with pregnant women’s urine, only to finally balloon up to 386 pounds. After spending thousands of dollars and NO long-term success, I had given up on health, life, and resigned myself to the fact that I would be burried in a piano crate. Then one day I heard Bryan Drollinger on the radio talking about still another weight loss program. I almost ignored it as just a new way to separate me from my money. But, I thought what the heck I can always say no so I talked to Dawn Dougal who would eventually become my Health Coach. After a few emails, she convinced me to attend an information session. I’m sure glad that I did! I lost 155 pounds in less than a year and have now lost a total of 202 pounds and kept it off for almost a year.* It is a simple program that has lived up to every claim that was made at that info session . . . AND THEN SOME.

I am now a full-time Health Coach, helping others attain Optimal Health, and have returned to flying a corporate jet on a part-time basis.

Kristy Medina lost 40 lbs in 2 months*

Results will vary.  Typical weight loss on the program is up to 2-5 lbs per week.

I started on this break through program because I was FAT and my joints hurt. My weight was only going UP! Now and then my heart would beat irregularly and I would dread having to walk too far. Stairs made me winded. I wasn’t on any medication but I was clearly a medical disaster waiting to happen. I went to my doctor and said, “I need help!” However, without insurance, all he would recommend was eating good and exercising. I hurt too much to exercise. I found this amazing program and decided if others could do it so could I. I put my mind to it and in 2 months I had lost 40 lbs.*

Now I am down 163 lbs. I feel so much better. I can sit in any chair I want, race my kids to the car and I have already dropped from size 5X to size L. I am still on the program and plan to continue until I reach my goal. I have about 37 lbs left. It has been easy to stick to and I feel confident that I will be able to keep it off because of the training I have received! Thanks to my free health coach I will make it!

Chuck Norris lose over 185 lbs in 14 months*

Results will vary.  Typical weight loss on the program is up to 2-5 lbs per week.

I started the program with Simple 2 Lose on October 4th 2008 and I figured I would give it 1 month since I had tried other weight loss programs and had always failed and usually gained all the weight back plus some. I weighed 355 pounds and figured I had nothing to lose by trying the program with Simple 2 Lose.

In the first month I lost 20 pounds and was amazed at how fast the weight started coming off.* It has now been 14 months and im down to 185 pounds.* I have done things I never thought I would be able to do, last summer I went sky diving and it was one of the biggest thrills of my life, and something I had always wanted to do.
