Brianne gained weight during her pregnancies that she’s had difficulty losing. She wants to be a healthy mom so she can stay involved in her kids’ lives and set a good example for them about smart choices.  She also said, “Being overweight has affected more of my life than I would care to admit, but I know that it has affected my confidence, my mood and my ability to love myself as I should and I am going to make a change.”

James has tried many other avenues for weight loss but always gained it back within months and wants to lose the weight permanently so he can stay healthy and be around for his kids and grandkids.  James said, “I would truly enjoy an opportunity to get on a program that I could live with as a lifestyle… to help not only myself but to inspire others in the DFW area to show that this program truly can work if done correctly.”

Pastor Rick has been dealing with obesity for close to 20 years and said, “I have known that it was a sin to be this heavy and not be a good steward of this body.  I have known that I was not treating it as God’s temple.  But I have never really tried like I should have.”  Now he’s ready to do something about it once and for all.  In addition to being pastor of a congregation, Rick is also the chaplain for the local fire house, so he has a lot of people both rooting for him and counting on him!

Trish has struggled with obesity for the last ten years, losing weight only to gain it back again.  She’s concerned about what her weight could do to her life expectancy and wonders how she’ll be able to keep up with her young daughter in coming years.  The excess weight and all the problems that come with it are very upsetting to Trish who said, “…with the help of Slim4Life, I could be a renewed person and… feel complete again.”
