“ We have more energy , we ’ re more positive , and that confidence has helped with every part of our marriage .”
We each like different parts of our job so that makes it easier as well . Eddie loves the outgoing side of the business - talking and meeting with clients , showing property and all the upfront parts . I prefer to be behind the scenes - working the leads through emails and websites , maintaining websites , handling the paperwork , dealing with closings and listings , marketing , etc . But I also show property when needed .
There was only one problem in our marriage . It was our weight . We had never had a problem with it , until we started getting older . We have always enjoyed a very busy , social , and hectic lifestyle . But getting older , combined with slowing metabolism , and lack of exercise , seemed to catch up with us . We had reached a point where we were just miserable . The excess weight was affecting everything – how we felt , our appearance , our health , our confidence – just everything . We needed a change .
We tried many diets that were unsuccessful . Some simply didn ’ t work . For others , we hated doing shakes and protein bars all the time or the food allowed was very limited . We might lose a little weight but we just couldn ’ t continue on the plans but for so long .
Then we came across Dr . Sattele ’ s Rapid Weight Loss Program . We saw advertisements , read testimonials , and viewed his website . We started his plan in November 2015 . At the time , Eddie weighed 215 pounds and I was at 185 . We needed a fresh start and we liked that the program was doctor supervised . We could eat real food – not just shakes and bars . We could learn to make healthy choices about proportions , and we would be held accountable .
We lost our weight with Dr . Sattele in three months , from November 2015 through January 2016 , and have maintained it . Eddie lost 45 pounds and went from a size 38 waist to a size 30 . I lost 35 pounds and went from a size 14 down to a size 4 . It is a great program – great doctor , great staff , and lots of support .
Everything is better for us now – we feel better about ourselves , we ’ re more active and exercise together , we eat healthier together . We support each other and work together to maintain a healthier lifestyle . Our confidence level is so much higher . We go for walks , ride bikes , workout at the gym , stroll on the beach – anything active is better than choosing to be a couch potato !
It ’ s made us stronger as a couple . We are working together and supporting each other through the weight loss program . We ’ re working on maintaining the healthy lifestyle we ’ ve created , with Dr . Sattele ’ s guidance . We feel better about ourselves and about each other . We have more energy , we ’ re more positive , and that confidence has helped with every part of our marriage .
The weight loss has helped my husband become more energetic and more confident and it radiates . He is happier . We love life , love our jobs , love to laugh and have fun . We are enjoying every minute of our life together ! I think Eddie would agree that I am also happier , healthier , more confident and feeling better about myself .
The only setback came from a back injury and subsequent spinal surgery for me . I was flat on my back for over six months and gained 15 pounds from the lack of mobility and not
before
being able to exercise or eat properly . But , as soon as I was able , I went back to Dr . Sattele in January and lost those extra 15 pounds in less than three weeks . Now I ’ m back on track - with maintenance , exercise , and a healthier lifestyle .
Dr . Sattele ’ s program works ! We highly recommend it if you want to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle ! You eat real food and enjoy healthier choices . We cannot thank Dr . Sattele and his wonderful staff enough for all their support and for the difference they have helped make in our lives .
This Valentine ’ s Day we will celebrate , as usual , at the Melting Pot in Myrtle Beach . It ’ s one of our favorite restaurants . We are also heading to Punta Cana later in February to celebrate my 50th birthday ! Life is good and we are proof positive that less is more !
