Vicki* - Anchorage, AK

2020 Contest Winner

Like many people who struggle with losing weight, Vicki had tried many solutions with little success, until she found herself at her heaviest and signed up for a free OPTIFAST® consultation in a “complete act of desperation.” Revealed Vicki, “I decided I would give it six weeks and if I didn't see results, I would be done. … At the time I wasn’t thinking big. I just wanted to feel good. I just wanted to look good.”

Now, with a 63-lb. weight loss*, Vicki says, “The benefits turned out to be far bigger than I ever dreamed of.” But it wasn’t just her life the OPTIFAST Program® changed.

I just wanted to feel good. I just wanted to look good. The benefits turned out to be far bigger than I ever dreamed of.

Explained Vicki, “I was so excited when my son showed an interest in trying OPTIFAST®. We are both learning how to enjoy a healthy meal without overindulging, trying different physical activities to see what we like; [it] really gives us a chance to bond. … My son has always been a shy, quiet kid … In just three months he has evolved into an outgoing, social and confident young adult.”

“When we celebrated his 18th birthday … knowing that he was going to go out into the world a confident, healthy young man was such a happy moment for me. This was my greatest success. I just wanted to look good, that’s all, but [doing it together with my son], I got so much more.”
