anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in 1998 and continued suffering
with knee problems. “I’m 26 now and I’ve had
four surgeries, after each surgery I've had to go to physical
therapy, it’s a very long process of trying to retrain
the muscle, it takes months of rehab,” Hope says. Even
after months of physical therapy she could only do very low-impact
activities and if she tried to do more she ended up back at
the hospital. “I wanted to run again but the doctor said
there’s no way, so I tried all the activities he suggested
but I still missed doing the things I loved, like playing sports
and running. It was so hard after hurting my knee because I
gained a lot of weight and when I’d try exercising, I’d
end up hurting my knee again. I’d push the limits of what
I could do but then my knee gave me even more problems.”
Not being able to do the vigorous activities she once did was
taking a toll on her physically and emotionally.

In May 2005, Hope began taking Flexibility®
and soon began using WINOmeg3complex™.
Within a few months, Hope was feeling a drastic difference
in her knee. “I was able to push myself further and
further and I wasn’t worried about how much pain I was
going to be in. For the first time I didn’t even have
to wear the knee brace!” The improvement in her knee
gave her the motivation to push even harder with intense workouts
and switch to a healthier diet. The pounds began dropping
right off. Hope was full of energy and gained a better self-image.
“I was a size 16 and now I’m an 8! I feel so much
healthier, I have so much more energy, it’s just really
exciting to be back to the kind of lifestyle I was used to,”
she says of her experience. Excited with her own success,
Hope is helping others achieve their goals as well. Her weight
loss and improved health has been an inspiration to coworkers,
friends and family.
“I’m just so thankful for these incredible products,
they’ve made a huge difference in my life because for
years I was struggling with the same problem and never saw
the results I see now. I work out six times a week now, I
run all the time, I can work out and really enjoy it. It’s
been totally life-changing for me,” shares Hope. Thanks
to WIN’s products, this athlete is “going the
extra mile,” pushing the limits of her physical abilities
and loving every minute of it.
