From Susan and Brian:
Taking The FAT out
of FATal
In my line of work,
being overweight can be a detriment. Being fat can be fatal. On the
verge of approaching my 50th birthday, neither of these
two prospects was appealing (especially the fatal option) and it
became crystal clear that the time had come in my life to do
something about it. It was time for a change.
Not just another
diet program, but a lifestyle change based on sensible eating and
exercise that anyone can do regardless of their current position or
station in life.
Where to turn…again?
No more pre-packaged plans, no more
gimmicks, and no more TV weight loss programs. I’ve been down
those roads before and they usually either ended up as a dead-end
street or the road ended up right back where I started, staring at
the scale and wondering why isn’t it moving…down? I needed
something tangible, something that I could afford, and more
importantly something I could believe in and stick to.
Success by Design
My testimonial is not based on
losing huge voluminous amounts of weight, but rather on taking back
and gaining control of my weight through the incredible program
offered by Success by Design. Yes, I lost a significant amount of
weight (42 lbs), as did my Wife (27 lbs) who also joined the program
with me, but I/we finally found a program that anyone can do if they
choose to follow it through to their own level of satisfaction.
More Than Just Weight Loss
My
Wife had a Total hysterectomy nearly 5-years ago and was on HRT for
all that time with migraines and not sleeping very well. Since
starting the Success by Design program she is off of all medications
and lost the 27 lbs that she put on post-surgery. This is so
much more than a lifestyle change; it is her lifetime change too.
One Other Point…GUYS
This program is designed for both MEN
and women in alike so don’t feel bashful or hesitant about getting
started sooner than later.
Fat-Fatal or a Fit-Future?
Not a difficult question to
answer. You can remain fat/fatal or have a fit/future; the choice is
up to you. Let Dr. Figueroa and Nurse Morrison help you find “your
fit” with Success by Design. Don’t wait until you no longer have
the options available to you – take the FAT out FATal today!

Sherri,
Just want to say thank you so much for your program and
office staff. Your insight and knowledge, plus products and plan have
been so effective for me to lose this extra baggage I was carrying
around!! I thank everyone for being very nice and friendly, for
helping me to reach my goals and the encouragement to keep it up. I
had been praying for this for a while and I believe God did answer my
prayer through your office. Your ad kept popping up in the paper for
me to see and I had your ad in with my paper jungle for a while before
I felt I should go ahead and try your program and get
your assistance. I am happier, healthier and have so much energy and
vitality that I was definitely missing before!! Its the best thing I
have done for myself in a long time and I will share this with any
others who are hesitating and have tried many other methods or diets
for weight loss. Sometimes we just need a little help! Thanks again!
Keep up the great work, Sherri and staff! Love, Jan
Freeman

Success Story:
Gina S.
Start Weight 166lbs
End Weight: 130lbs
Total Weight loss: 36 lbs in 3 months!
Testimonial:
First, let me start off by saying if I can do this anyone can! I
am almost 30 years old and my weight has fluctuated my whole life. Up
30 pounds, down 20 pounds, then back up 40 pounds. I was never taught
how to eat healthy has a child. I was drinking soda and fast food as
long as I could remember. It was not uncommon for me to eat fast food
for breakfast, lunch and dinner all in the same day. Water was also
not part of my vocabulary and it could be months before I would drink a
glass of water. I used all the excuses out there, " I don't have time
to cook for one person" and " It's too expensive to eat healthy". I
did not think I could live without large amounts of bread, pasta and
caffeine. I finally decided that I needed to take control of my life.
I felt that if I did not get my health under control now, I would be in
for a long road of health problems. When I joined Success by Design, I
didn't know what to expect. I thought I was going to starve for a few
months, lose some weight and then most likely gain it back in a year.
I am here to tell you this is not the case. This is in no way a diet.
This is a lifestyle change, giving you back your healthy. The first
few weeks were tough, not because I was starving but because I had
never eaten as much in my life. I definitely was a meal skipper, so
this eating every 3 hours was foreign to me. I wrote everything I
consumed, because I had to learn how much to consume. But as I got
more comfortable, I just know what to eat and when. I feel like a
completely different person now! I lost over 35 lbs, but
more importantly, I am healthy. I have not had this much energy in
years. I love it when people tell me that how much healthier I look.
I look 10 years younger! I have no desire to eat bad foods because
when I do, I feel physically ill. The most important lesson I learned
is to listen to my body and work with it not against it. Don't get me
wrong, I still enjoy lots of amazing food. The staff at Success by
Design truly helped me change my life. I could not have done it
without their support, education and motivation. The praised me on the
weeks I did good and coached me on the weeks I didn't do as good.
I actually looked forward to my appointment every week because it was
constant reminder of what I was doing to better my life! I wish
everyone, no matter what their weight situation, could go through this
program to really learn what it means to be healthy. All the excuses I
used to have, I laugh at now. I save so much time and money eating
healthy! All I can say is, YOU DESERVE TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF!

Written Testimonial:
"I
decided to finally take my health seriously. My blood sugar was up, my
blood pressure was high and I was on the verge of some major health
problems. I saw Father John and other parishoners of Sacred Heart that
lost their weight with the help of Sherri Morrison RN and Dr. Figueroa
and I decided it was time for me to start getting healthy. It was not
as difficult as I thought it would be! It was simply taking out some
bad foods from my diet and the weight just came off! I learned how to
eat healthy and as a result I was able to start exercising. I now am
actually running. I haven't run in so long because I was so heavy that
it killed my knees! In my job I spend a lot of time in attics and I
can't believe how much easier it is to get around! Well now I am 57 lbs
down and my blood sugar and blood pressure is under control. I am even
off my cholesterol medication! I feel great!"

love how I feel! I am looking better every day, and my appreciation for
the important work that is done through weight loss management

Testimonial:
Success by Design has changed my life. I'm a firm believer its a life style change and not a diet. September 1 2008 I weighed 230lbs an all time high to day Jan 22 2009 I weigh 172.5 lbs I have been of maintenance for 1 month now and have not gain any of it back. The biggest change for me was since the weigh loss. I am currently off 6 Medications that I was previously on including 2 for diabetes, 2 for breathing, 1 for blood pressure, and 1 for acid reflux. I no longer have to use my C-pap machine. My breathing was at 75 % September 1st and 2 weeks ago I was at 92% . My current savings in co-payments is $ 140.00 a month. I am very pleased with Success by Design and have highly recommended them and always will. Scott Pownall

Before:  After: 
“I can’t speak highly enough about Success By Design! As a nurse, two things impressed me most. First, this is not a difficult plan to follow because you get to eat and
eat often! Getting all the food in is probably the most challenging
part. Second, they truly do practice a personalized approach. I saw
either Dr. Figueroa or Sherri at every visit. This was very important
to me because they personally reviewed my progress and answered any
questions I had. They took as much time as was needed to explain
everything. It’s been over a year since I reached my goal and I’ve kept
the weight off by following the Success By Design Maintenance Plan. I
recommend this program to anyone who wants to promote a healthy
lifestyle.”
