"I am 69 years old and have been on one diet or another since I was 39. Then I found The GHF Customized Diet Plan through Global-Fitness.com. I weighed 210 when I started in August, 2001, and currently now weigh 179 and am still counting down. I probably would have lost more fat, but we have been on three 7-day cruises since September. My pants size has gone from a tight 40 to a comfortable 37. My size 36 Levi's are still a little too tight, but I can fasten them and sit down in them. I know they will fit comfortably before long.

I bought a couple of new pants about a month before the last cruise and another pair about a week before. When I dressed for dinner the first night they were all too big. The ship's tailor was able to alter the newest pair to fit, but the others were so big that the back pockets came together when he tried to take the waist in. It was wonderful. Fortunately, the tux was a rental, so the size was not a problem. I am so pleased with the way now I look that I am going to buy a tux.

I have been the world's slowest runner for the last 17 years, usually dragging in at about a 15-minute mile. Since I have been following The GHF Customized Diet Plan my speed has improved phenomenally. I am now running easily at an 11, sometimes 10-minute mile. I can now run about 30 miles per week.

When I got out of the service in 1955 I weighed 170 pounds. That is my goal and I know that I will make it with your great program and all the personal attention you and your experts give me. I am very comfortable with this sensible, effective diet plan. It allows for a lot of variety and the food suggestions are great! I will soon be at a maintenance level, but it won't be all that different, just a few more calories, as well as the easy-to-follow guidelines within your program. The problem I had with other diets is that my metabolism shut down to avoid starvation. But not with the GHF Customized Diet Plan. This is by far the very best program I have found for weight (fat) loss and improved performance!"

4 weeks later Dave's wife reports...

"Things are still going well for Dave. Last week's weight was 174. These last few pounds are the hardest, but the inches are really falling off. We bought size 34 jeans two weeks ago (down from 40), and it is just about time to go for 32's. Maybe next week. He has learned the hard way about buying prematurely. He has a lot of new clothes that became too big after one wearing. Some did before he wore them at all, but we were able to take those back. We do a lot of races and, consequently, have a lot of race T-shirts. He has gone from XL to medium. I have to watch him to keep him out of mine. We are going this week to buy new dress shirts. He wants to buy a tux for the cruises, but that will definitely have to wait until his weight stabilizes. Anyway, I just wanted to update you on his progress. He is doing so great on your program and we are both grateful!"
