I started my weight loss journey a little over a year and a half ago. I have tried a lot of different diets, pills, etc. I wanted weight loss surgery but because of some health issues, I was not a candidate and would never be one. My last straw was when I went to an amusement park and was kicked off the ride because I was too fat. That humiliation was the push I needed. I found Tyson through a co-worker and I decided to give it a try. Let me tell you, it changed my life.

Tyson is there for you, gives tough love when needed, but helped me to understand that I need food for fuel and not as a crutch or to solve my problems. I had to learn to love myself and even when I am super stressed, the junk food was not going to help me. I would have never thought I would love to fast, but it centers me and brings me joy.

I am very proud of myself. I never thought I could do something like this. I didn’t think I was strong enough. With Tyson’s help, patiently understanding me, meal plans, and mentoring, this was possible. He made me realize I am important and that I deserve to be happy. I don’t get tired now and I have the energy to hike, swim, and go places that I never could have imagined. I even went back to the amusement park and road every ride without any problems.

I cannot thank Tyson enough for helping me get a second chance at a wonderful healthy life. I will forever be grateful. My family is grateful for my life. Not only did it change mine, but theirs did as well.
