“Brian, you look great! What did do you?”

It’s a question Brian Raymond hears a lot. After joining his wife on the Beat the Holiday Bulge Weight Loss Contest, Brian has lost 22 pounds and feels better than ever.

"I thought I was at the weight I would be the rest of my life,” Brian says. “But my wife came to me and said, ‘I’m doing this.’ I decided if she was going to cut calories and try to eat healthier that I would try and do the same”

As an elementary school teacher, Brian didn’t really have time for exercise—he’s busy chasing kids all day! Brian started watching what he ate, drinking more water, and making sure he took FiberWise® and his Vitality vitamins each day.

“The first 7 or 8 pounds came off really fast, but then I plateaued,” Brian says. “I started taking GC Control every morning at 11 a.m. for the last six weeks, and that’s where we (Brian and his wife) saw the most difference.”

Brian’s wife Shasta has also slimmed down. She lost 10% of her body weight during the challenge, and since then she’s continued to lose weight. A mother of three, Shasta is now down to her pre-baby weight.

“She’s down to the weight she was when I first met her,” Brian says. “She’s excited about it.”

Lots of people have noticed the Raymonds’ transformation, and it’s been a great conversation starter that leads to them to sharing Melaleuca’s healthier lifestyle.

“There’s a teacher in my building who I showed Melaleuca to before, but she wasn’t interested,” Brian says. “But after seeing my weight loss, she’s started using GC Control. She came back and told me she can already tell a big difference in her energy.”

Brian would encourage everyone to take the Vitality Weight Loss Challenge because it helps you set goals and stay accountable.

“I don’t think I would have lost weight if it weren’t for the contest,” Brian says.

*Individual results will vary. When combined with exercise and a healthy diet, GC Control and FiberWise may help promote a healthy weight and body composition.
