Meet Jeff

 

In August 2008, at the suggestion of my family doctor, I began the New Direction Program at Ohio Healthy Living Weight Loss Center. Having tried other programs, I was a little skeptical of whether or not this program would work for me. To my surprise, the weight seemingly started to melt off and I wasn’t hungry. Once I lost 20 pounds, I was on a roll and decided to once again pursue a passion I had long ago given up on because of my weight: running.

 

Before I knew it I had lost 50 pounds and was running a half marathon. The program staff is wonderful and very supportive. I have now lost a total of 77 pounds and plan to run the Philadelphia Marathon in November 2009. I feel great and without Ohio Healthy Living none of this would have been possible.
