Teena
Asbury
Pounds Lost: 12% of body weight
Type: Choose To Lose
“Because the class time was so convenient to my work schedule, I didn’t have an excuse not to go, Asbury said. "I know I can have a sweet treat once in awhile. Portion control and activity are key. I find I enjoy walking at least 3 to 4 miles after work and it also helps relieve stress."

Twila
Cartmell
Pounds lost: 120 pounds
Type: Surgical Weight Loss
Twila lost 120 pounds through gastric sleeve surgery and couldn't be more thrilled.
"I have had no complications, and I no longer have to take blood pressure medicine, cholesterol medicine or gastric reflux medicine. I elected to have gastric sleeve surgery, and it was the best decision I ever made for myself. We are now blessed with three grandchildren. I can babysit, go to the zoo and not have to stop every few minutes to rest. I can get up from the floor without assistance. I take the stairs now and honestly my family says they can't keep up with me. This surgery and the subsequent weight loss have given me my life back. I am forever thankful I made this decision!"

Brenda
Roberts
Pounds Lost: 146
Type: Surgical Weight Loss
"I started my journey in August 2015, with my gastric sleeve surgery in October 2015. I have lost 146 lbs. so far and now have a different outlook on life. I now exercise at least five days a week and have changed my whole way of viewing food. I use to live to eat but now I have the mindset of eating to live. The nutrients that my body needs, defines the choices of foods that I make now. I have a lot more energy to do things that I love to do. I was able to go off all of the medications that I was taking before surgery."
