Meet David Melara
Age: 16yrs old
Lost 49lbs in 6 months

- What was the hardest thing to accomplish in this program?
The hardest thing was to learn how to eat right, how to control my portions and choose healthier snacks when I felt hungry.

- What did you enjoy the most?
I really enjoyed coming in on Sundays and weighing myself, seeing that I had lost weight or even kept the same weight really motivated me to continue and do better.


- What changed in your life after you started this program?
I had a lot more energy! I felt like getting out of the house and doing things with my free time. Now people at school always ask me how I lost so much weight and what are my goals. I am going to continue on to another program, I still have another 20lbs to loose.


- Do you practice the things you've learned at home?
Yes! I control my portions a lot more, and when I am hungry i opt for some fruit. I also often workout and try to play basketball after school.

GOOD JOB, DAVID! WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU!
