Total Weight Loss: 35lbs
Total Inches Lost: 19.8"

"For the past couple of years, I’ve been very lazy; doing nothing but sitting around and eating fast food.  I’d try to get into an exercise routine, but it would never last more than a couple of days.  Finally, after the New Year, I decided to make a lifestyle change.  I joined my local gym, Snohomish Fitness Center, where I heard about the 90-Day Challenge.  It sounded like the greatest motivational idea to keep me in the gym, and it did!  Every day I would take 2 BALANCE Shakes, TrimBerry Extreme™, EICO-BALANCE™, and eat a balanced meal.  I gave up pizza (which I used to have once a week) and I ran 5 days a week.  I feel so much better and I’ve lost so much weight.  Thank you Legacy for the lifestyle change and the new me!"

"When I started the BALANCE Challenge, I weighed 270 lbs - the heaviest I have ever been. I really wanted to lose weight but no matter what I did, it would not come off. I was at a loss and really felt my health was going down hill. I was overweight, depressed and had no sense of direction as to how I was going to accomplish my goals.

Then, I started the BALANCE Challenge and have not only noticed a change in my weight but a great change in my inner being! I feel like my old self again! I am no longer depressed and when I come home, I look forward to my daily exercise and watching what I eat!

Getting up and taking action rather than sitting and thinking about it is how I accomplished my goal.

Taking 2 BALANCE Shakes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with daily ESSENTIALS, FLEX, EICO-BALANCE™, CLA Ultra 1000 and TrimBerry Extreme™ has made such a difference! And avoiding the “Six Whites” was a big challenge that I’m glad I faced. Now I refuse to eat anything with potato or white flour, and no sugar! Being able to control my urges is a phenomenal feeling! With the BALANCE Shakes and TrimBerry Extreme™, I’m able to control my appetite and feel full.

Now I’m down to 245lbs and I plan on losing more! Even if I am not the biggest loser in this competition, I feel I am still a winner. Thanks Legacy for everything!"

Total Weight Loss: 21.75lbs
Total Inches Lost: 15.8”

"When I started the 90-Day Challenge in January, I wanted to re-motivate myself to continue losing weight.  I had hit a plateau and when I heard about the BALANCE Shakes and TrimBerry Extreme™, I was excited to start using them to help me reach my weight loss goals.

 

I am proud to say, I have lost 21 ¾ lbs, 16 inches and have gone from a size 22/24 to a size 18 in the last three months.  I know that without these products and the encouragement from Deni Maroni, I would not have had the success I have!

 

I am not to my goal yet, but I know that by continuing to use the BALANCE Shake and TrimBerry on a regular basis, and working out 4-5 times a week, I will continue to succeed in my weight loss goals.

 

I have more energy now and I have learned to make “me” a priority; to improve my health by exercising more and making healthier food choices."

 


 

2007 - 3rd Annual 90-Day BALANCE Challenge Winners! 

$1,000 Grand Prize Winner
Arlene Lawrence (Medley, FL)

 

Legacy Distributor, Arlene Lawrence, won the Grand Prize of $1,000 cash! 

"My whole life I have struggled with my weight.  For years, I somehow kept my weight at an average of 150lbs; then it started to gradually increase and became very hard to lose, no matter what I tried.  In January 2007, I started the Legacy BALANCE for Life Plan and, for the first time, I felt alive!  I lost 45lbs!

I took the BALANCE Shake at least once each day with 2 EICO-BALANCE™.  I ate fruits and vegetables for snacks, and never had any cravings for sweets.  For dinner, I’d make my shake thick by adding granola.  I walked or did a home workout for 20-30 minutes four times a week, and received ongoing support from Dr. Hellen and her calls.

Now I feel great - Especially when clothes that did not fit are now fitting!  I am excited and will continue to use BALANCE until I reach my desired weight.  Thank you for giving me so much hope and a new look! "

"Being on the Legacy BALANCE for Life Plan has pretty much changed my life.  I have tried other diets, but lost interest when I didn’t see results.  With the BALANCE Plan, I lost weight and built muscle – something that doesn’t always happen with the many so called “quick fix” diets.

Because the shakes tasted good and I saw results, I kept going.  I look good now and am not done yet!  My self confidence is up and I get a lot of compliments.  I am 52 years old and feel 20 years younger.  In just 12 short weeks, I have lost 31.2 pounds and 17 inches.  This is a plan that I can and will stay with.  I enjoy it and it works!"

Steven Gray (Snohomish, WA)

"Thirty-eight.  That is how many pounds I had gained since I got married.  Many people who knew me would say things like, “looks like married life has been treating you good” or “looks like the wife cooks good.”  The truth of the matter is that she is a busy person and I am a busy person and, together, we have no time.  So it was the world of fast food and drive thru windows for us.  Before I knew it, in just under a year I had put on 38 pounds and had to buy all new clothes to match the change.

My health had taken a turn for the worse.  I was always tired.  I would fall asleep if I stopped for more than 20 minutes.  And if I tried running, I would feel out of breath and have severe side aches.  I was also sick most of the time with a bad cough.  All of that was about to change though.

It was one week before the 90-Day Challenge was to start.  I was getting very depressed about my weight.  I didn’t even want to see a scale for fear of how much I had gained the day before.  Then, my wife came home and told me about The Challenge.  I signed up immediately and had my first shipment of BALANCE days later.  To my surprise, the BALANCE Shakes were very good – not like other meal replacements I had taken.

After only 5 days of being on the Shake, I noticed that my wretched cough had gone away and that I was already losing weight.  In fact, with the help of exercise, I lost 5 pounds in the first week.  By week 2, I had completely said goodbye to the world of fast food and my taste for cola was now quenched by green tea.  I had a complete life change and I felt great!  I have more energy.  I have to make my belt tighter every week.  And I am able to job for 3 miles without becoming winded.

Now that the 90-Day Challenge is at its end, I have lost 28 pounds and 14.5 inches.  Everyone that knows me now says how good I look and wants to know how to get on BALANCE themselves.  The scale is no longer a scary thing.  I actually love getting on it now and seeing how much I have lost.  I am looking forward to seeing how much I am still going to lose with the Legacy BALANCE for Life Plan!

I Believe in Miracles!



Joe Gioiosa Before and After

“Miracle #1:  While stopping by a friend’s house one day, I started complaining about my weight and health.  My friend’s wife brought out a container of Legacy BALANCE for Life and asked me to try it.  Being the skeptic that I am, I refused, but it took anyway to be polite.  I planned to throw it out when I got home, but instead, I started taking it.  Within three days, I lost my first three pounds. 

Miracle #2:  I have not slept well in ten years without some kind of sleep aid.  Approximately two weeks into the use of Legacy’s products, I actually found myself going to bed and to sleep.  Two months later and, without taking one sleep aid, I am sleeping like a baby. 

Miracle #3:  When I went for my yearly physical, my doctor was very unhappy with the test results and wanted to put me on several different medications.  I asked him for one month to see if I could make a change.  Two months later, on BALANCE, I am 35 pounds lighter, have lost six inches from my waste, and my lab results are perfectly normal.  In fact, my doctor was so impressed that he wants to start using Legacy’s products! 

Now I can honestly say that Legacy for Life has turned this skeptic into a believer!”

"After having four children in six years, I was left with quite a bit of extra weight.  So, when my baby finally started kindergarten, I decided that I had no more excuses.  I decided that I needed to make some major lifestyle changes and "get serious" about losing all those extra pounds.  I started following the BALANCE for Life Plan and have lost 45 lbs!  I went from a size 14+ to a size 4 and, best of all, I feel great !"
-Colleen M. ( Eau Claire, WI)

 

“For several years I’ve maintained too many extra pounds around my middle.  Even when I did try to eat well, I just couldn’t seem to lose the weight from my middle.  In January 2004, I started the BALANCE for Life Plan.  The inches seemed to just melt away!  I’ve lost a total of 43 pounds now, 14 inches (mostly from around my waist), and my BMI is down 9.5%!  I look great, have to buy new clothes, and feel young again!  It is just so easy!”
-Ken R., "Coach", ( St. Louis, MO)



"Last January, I was tipping the scales at 282 lbs.  I was overweight and out of shape.  I started on the BALANCE for Life Plan and began exercising in the gym.  In just one week, I lost ten pounds!  After one month, I had lost 20 pounds; after three months, I had lost 40 pounds, and the pounds kept coming off!  I am now happy to say that I have lost 62 pounds in total and am keeping it off!  I am now 220 lbs and feel like a brand new man.  I am so happy that I started BALANCE for Life and my results have been spectacular!"
-Buddy R. ( Melbourne, FL)


"When I was first introduced to the Legacy for Life products, I weighed close to 400 pounds.  I started drinking one BALANCE Shake each day and eliminated the “Six Whites” from my diet.  Soon after, I broke the 200 pound barrier and went public to spread the hope I had found. Thanks to the BALANCE for Life Weight Management Plan, I have my life back and now go places with the joy of being able to walk for two or three hours in the sunshine."
