Wesley Miller Lost 50 Pounds in 68 Days.
Q: Congratulations, Wesley. A lot of people talk about losing weight but you took action and made it happen. What finally convinved you to to lose the weight?
Wesley: Labor Day 2020 weekend I was looking at myself in the mirror after getting off the scales weighing in at 228 pounds. This is when I decided to do something about it.
Q: Did you work with anyone to help you?
Wesley: Yes, I did. My consultant showed me how to follow a regimen (program) that kept me feeling full, eating healthier foods while steadily losing weight. Having someone help you with accountability was also important.
Q: How long were prepared to try the weight loss program?
Wesley: I informed her I would give it 60 days. I started it on September 14th and ended on November 21. The skeptic in me was wrong about Elance. I lost an average of seven pounds a week. Staying consistent and focused on my 60 day timeframe helped me stay on track.
Q: A lot of people would love to lose weight as quickly and easily as you did. Tell us how you accomplished it.
Wesley: I followed my given regimen that she created for utilizing Body Wise products for weight loss. I did a shake in the morning, followed 90 minutes later with a snack consisting of either apples, celery sticks with peanut butter and/or carrot sticks. I would eat a normal larger meal midday then I would have a shake in the evening at around six followed by the same snack protocol. I also increased my exercise timeframe.
