Marcia was one of the first people to sign up with iChange when we launched last year. We are so proud of her progress since then. Here’s a post from her iChange Nutritionist, Linda Miner:
MARCIA IS DOWN 40 POUNDS: One of our great success stories here is Marcia. If you haven’t read her blog about her journey here, you really should. http://myweighback.wordpress.com/ She tells a story that many of you are going to relate to. She is a woman who tried every diet under the sun, was totally skeptical, asked a million questions but agreed to follow the plan and the results speak for themselves. The most important thing is all the awareness Marcia has gained about how her body responds to food and what she really needs to feel good. I just told Marcia that she has done something else incredible for her body – she has potentially eliminated the need for an extra 12 MILES OF BLOOD VESSELS. For each 10 pounds of fat, the body builds 3 miles of blood vessels. This is why obese people have high blood pressure, the heart has to work extra hard to get blood through all these extra miles of vessels. Most of us would have trouble walking 12 miles so think about how much extra pressure has been taken off her heart. It’s very exciting. Congratulations Marcia and keep up the good work. Linda Miner
Nice job Marcia. And you too Linda!
