The Perfect Combination

Success Stories

“I still kind of pinch myself because I can’t believe it really happened,” says Jane, who lost 88 pounds using BioLean® and BioLean Free® and other products from Wellness International Network, Ltd.

Jane, a geologist, says she started gaining weight after she got married and relocated for her job. “I was chained to a computer almost 40 hours a week. I wasn’t getting the activity I was used to, and I stopped cooking and ate out a lot. That’s when the weight really came on,” she says.

Jane noticed her life was turning upside down and hated the fact that she had to shop at Lane Bryant. However, it wasn’t until five years ago when she went to renew her passport that she hit rock bottom. “My pictures were hideous, and I knew I had to do something,” Jane says, adding that she was, at that time, weighing in at an all-time high of 231 pounds. Her realization of her weight problem led her to participate in her company’s wellness program that focused on health education and activity. “I was able to lose about 15-20 pounds and keep it off, but that was it. I wasn’t able to lose any more,” she says. “I was beginning to really get concerned that it would take me forever to get below 200 pounds.”

Jane’s husband, Scott, remembers how hard it was to watch his wife desperately trying to lose weight. “It was painful watching her try because she got very discouraged sometimes,” he says. “She is very intelligent and can be very motivated, but I guess the biggest problem she had was finding the right combination of things that worked.”

The frustration and hopelessness Jane felt led her straight to her physician, Wellness International Network, Ltd. (WIN) distributor Dr. Mike. He recommended rotating BioLean® and BioLean Free® monthly in conjunction with exercise and a healthy diet. Jane saw results immediately. “It surprised me how fast the weight came off, and how consistently it came off with what I consider minimal effort,” she says. “It’s not supposed to be that easy.”

Jane lost 88 pounds within one year by following her new routine. Now she says she feels and looks as good as she did when she got married 26 years ago. “I feel amazing,” says Jane. “It stuns me how much stamina and energy I have!” Scott says that in addition to Jane’s amazing weight loss, it was wonderful watching her become more extroverted. “It surely has given her a tremendous amount of self-confidence, and made her much more outgoing. I’m really happy about that,” he says. “Losing weight is not easy, and I am really proud of her for accomplishing and maintaining her goal.”

One of Jane’s favorite parts about losing weight has been giving away her old clothes ranging in sizes 18/20 to 2X. “It was really exciting when I packed up the clothes that I had been wearing that were huge, shapeless and ugly — it was like a tremendous weight was lifted off of me,” she says, adding that now size four is even a bit too big. “I used to have trouble finding large clothes. Now it’s the same problem but at the other end of the spectrum. It’s a wonderful problem to have.”

Today, Jane has maintained her healthy weight for more than a year, and feels in control of her life once again. “I realize that things that may seem impossible really aren’t,” she says. “This whole experience has been incredibly empowering. Anyone can do this. You just have to really want to do it — and it helps to have a really good doctor.”
