"The
problem was, that… between my fibromyalgia,
and I had a very severe car accident a few years ago,
and the three children, and two cesareans, I gained
a lot of weight and I couldn't lose anything. I mean,
I had no metabolism. I couldn't lose an ounce. I would
walk on the treadmill for 2 months, drink tons of
water, eat great… and not drop one pound. So
I knew that losing weight was impossible for me. And…
the first week, first week!… I lost 6 pounds,
and that was just HUGE. I mean…that was…I
couldn't believe it! And I already felt great. And
then by the second week, I started to drop about 2
or 3 pounds a week, on average… after 5 months,
its averaged out to 10 pound a month. Which… I
think is amazing for anybody… especially for
me! I mean, if I can do it, anybody can do it…
because I don't lose weight. Only now I do! (smile)
And… I'm basically eating the same way I did
before… only now I know how to do it right!
I mean, when I was 172 pounds, at that point I had
finally come to terms that by the end of the year,
I'd be 200 pounds. And that was going to be my life,
that is just who I was going to be. You know, I was
just going to be ugly and fat and miserable, and…
that was... I was actually coming to a point of acceptance,
which everyone said is really healthy, but it didn't
feel very healthy to me. I couldn't even get a good
night’s sleep. And… I don't know why my husband did it, he’s
never done anything like this ever. It's not the kind
of thing he does… but for some reason, he got
up cause I'm just sittin' there and he just got up and
ordered it! And I got all excited, and thought…
well maybe I can do this, I mean, if he thinks I can
do it... what's it gonna hurt to try?
And almost immediately, I think, almost within the
first 2 weeks of using BioSlim, I was sleeping, going
to sleep, and, without any kind of medication or anything,
and sleeping through the night. I used to wake up
and not go back to sleep again. Now I'm sleeping through
the night, and… and getting a good deep sleep,
you can tell, and getting more rest and having more
energy. I… I can bounce out of bed. You know,
it’s been what? It’s been like seven years
since I could bounce out of bed. I can jump out of
the car, I can run. I can run! I just couldn't run
before…
And I have so much energy. I, I feel so much more
like my old self again. I can do everything now. I
can wear anything. I mean, I can wear anything! I
go to the junior section. I, I can actually put on
T-shirts that my daughter wears, and she’s 11.
Except that the chest is a little tight! (laugh)
I mean, I have just accomplished the only impossible
thing. I mean, it was the only thing that I thought,
I knew I couldn't do. I knew. But I did it! Probably one of the most attractive things to me about
this program was knowing that at any time I can call
the doctor.
Oh, and the best part, about BioSlim… is being
able to play with my children… I mean…
I've got a 1½ year old, I've got a 3 year old
and an 11 year old. And… not being able to
carry my baby around. Always having to have my husband
do it. “You have to carry the baby, you have
to hold her when she’s crying” …I
couldn't do it (tearful), it hurt too much. And…I
really didn't think that losing weight was going to
change that. I thought that was just a health thing... and losing all that
weight... I can carry my baby around all day
long!... I can dance... Oh, I can dance

again! I couldn't dance for years! I can dance
in my family room with my babies. Fast dancing, goofing around,
pick them up, twirl em around … I can do all that.
Isn't that incredible?
On BioSlim, the results were so amazing! I mean we're talking
about… amazing results… that you can see on
a daily basis. that you can feel on a daily basis. My mother is, I don't know why she’s not sick of it.
I think she’s just so excited for me. I called her every
day. Almost every day to tell her: “Mom I lost another
pound!” Every stinkin’ pound for 5 months, I called
my mother. (Laugh.) Called my husband at work: “Honey
I weighed in. Lost 2 pounds!” Runnin' in the morning,
wakin' everybody up: I lost another pound!” Because
you just keep losing it! You know... and you know you're gonna
be able to finish.
Its been great! And I can, I can cheat, and screw up, and
the video tells you, you know what?... if you mess up, big
deal, just keep... just do it again, just keep going.
I never felt like I was dieting, I never felt that I was starving.
I never felt any kind of pain or suffering. I know that I
can eat when I need to eat…
Oh, that's another thing about BioSlim that's fantastic! It's
completely adjustable to each individual person. I mean…
I have a completely different schedule than a lot of people,
I'm up very late. And…I…am on a different schedule
than say…you would be on. And BioSlim is the kind of
program that adjusts to you!
Let me tell you a story. I was in the store, and I was trying
to find a pair of skinny little black pants. And the clerk
was going to… I didn't have time, so the clerk was
going to go find them for me. And, she says, "Let's see,
you look like what, about a 2 or a 3?" Oh My God! Somebody
actually looks at me and says I'm a 2 or a 3? Which I am now!
I mean, can you believe it?… 5 months ago, I was wearing
a size 16!
Before I started BioSlim, I, in my head, I would imagine myself
to not be large. And then I would catch my reflection in a
window. And I would just be mortified. My head would go down,
I would try to hide. But now that I've lost all that weight,
if I catch my reflection in a window, I'm still shocked! Because
I never expect to see somebody that thin!
I never even told my husband this one. You know another thing
that I did? People have always commented on my hair, “Oh,
you have this great hair”, it made people notice me.
And when I got that big, um, I don't look good in short hair.
I cut my hair off. I cut it off to here, (tearing, points
to neck) because I didn't want anybody to notice me. So, I
wanted to be as ugly as I could be, and then they wouldn't
notice, you know, the rest of me. And I grew it back... (smile)…
now I want them to notice me now!
But I know there’s other people out there that are going
through what I went through. And I hope that… hope
something that I've said will reach somebody. Even if I just
get one other person to be able to do what I did. It would
be so great. That’s why I wanted to do this interview.
I just wanted to help somebody. You know, sitting on their
couch, eating, thinking that they have no choice.
Or even somebody who is a little bit lazy! Because…
you can be lazy and do this program! That’s what’s
so great about it, you can do BioSlim and be lazy! And you'll
still lose weight! I didn't even have to do any exercise,
I did no exercise! Can you believe that? Five months, not
a stitch. Ok, I took the stairs instead of the elevator, because
I couldn't do exercise at first. Now I can! Do you know, before
BioSlim, I couldn't even walk… without getting such
severe muscle cramps that I couldn't get out of bed for days!?
I was literally and physically crippled. After BioSlim, I
can walk miles a day, no problem… And I feel fantastic!"
