Here is an email we received from\u00a0a \u00a0member of our Skinny Gene Project family in San Antonio.\u00a0\u00a0This\u00a0email touched us because it wasn’t a testimonial, but rather an honest account of\u00a0why\u00a0he\u00a0decided to give Skinny Gene\u00a0a chance, began believing in himself , and\u00a0started living a healthier lifestyle<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span> (for privacy his name has been removed)<\/em><\/p>\n I want to be honest about this.\u00a0 When I first started with Skinny Gene,\u00a0 I was cynical.<\/p>\n Nothing I had done before worked.\u00a0\u00a0 I agreed to pay the fees associated with this project,\u00a0as Dr. Moss had already told me about that.\u00a0 Why I did this with Dr. Moss is still unclear even to me.\u00a0 I knew I had to lose weight, I heard Dr. Moss tell me about this program and website, I gave him a check as if in a dream, then Marlayna called me, and I agreed to pay some more money to lose weight.\u00a0 When I talked to her, I think I still thought of this as a fantasy that would not in the end work.<\/p>\n Why should this program work?\u00a0 I had been in weight reduction programs in the past, and none worked.<\/p>\n That first month with Skinny Gene, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, was a tough month.\u00a0 I’m sure Emily and Marlayna must have thought I was a bad client, I didn’t respond with a lot of enthusiasm.\u00a0 When Marlayna first called me, I was still going through physical therapy just to get my right arm and hand working again.<\/p>\n I can’t recall feeling very optimistic about what I was doing.\u00a0 It was in January that I saw some real benefits, and I think my meeting with Emily and Marlayna was a real boost.\u00a0 As January moved on, and as I continued to lose weight, I found some real changes in how my clothes fit and how my way of walking changed.\u00a0 It’s after I had met them, and saw a weight loss of around 15 lbs, that things began to look very optimistic and doable.<\/p>\n Also, the presentations that Emily did with telecon and power points were fantastic, it was like I was learning something for the first time that NO ONE HAD EVER TOLD ME.<\/p>\n I can now really, really think of weighing 350, 330, 300, and into 290!<\/p>\n I can visualize my weight change.\u00a0 I want it.\u00a0 I know how to do it.\u00a0 And from there go to 270 down to 190, which is what I weighed when I was in college.<\/p>\n After the cruise in 2009 that my wife and I went on I knew I needed to change my life.\u00a0 I had ignored this for a while that summer of 2009, but it kept nagging me.\u00a0 My wife deserved the man she married 30 years ago, and I was not that man.\u00a0 I was fat.<\/p>\n My outlook is one of desperation.\u00a0 I don’t want to be a “heavy person” any longer.<\/p>\n Update:<\/strong> This person has lost more than\u00a057 pounds and continues to make healthy choices everyday to improve the quality of his life<\/em><\/p>\n Disclaimer<\/span>:\u00a0The weight loss testimonial presented is applicable to the individual depicted and are not a guarantee of your weight loss nor are they typical.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is an email we received from\u00a0a \u00a0member of our Skinny Gene Project family in San Antonio.\u00a0\u00a0This\u00a0email touched us because it wasn’t a testimonial, but rather an honest account of\u00a0why\u00a0he\u00a0decided to give Skinny Gene\u00a0a chance, began believing in himself , and\u00a0started living a healthier lifestyle.
