Audrey* - Blacklick, OH

Audrey says she “went from body conscious to body confident” after her 70-lb weight loss.*

From having difficulty finding clothes and swimsuits for trips, to playing outside with her daughter feeling more like a chore than fun, not to mention only taking photos from the waist up, Audrey struggled with various weight loss solutions for nearly five years.

OPTIFAST® made my weight loss experience simple and convenient, something that I never thought was possible. I feel better than ever.

That all changed when she committed to losing weight with the OPTIFAST® program. Despite the challenges brought on by quarantine, Audrey stuck with it, feeling mentally stronger after getting through her first six weeks. “I had to put my mind to it 100%, and once I was ready there was no more turning back,” said Audrey of her journey.

Audrey says she is loving her new life, her new body and is ready to wear all the cute clothes she can get her hands on after shedding her extra pounds. She has more self-confidence and her phone now contains full-length selfies. “I’m just proud to be at a healthy weight and planning for another child in the future,” she said after completing the program.

As for her advice for people currently on their weight loss journey? As Audrey shared, “In the end, it’s all up to you. … You just have to be ready for yourself and that’s the only way you’re gonna get through it.”
