Juan: My doctor was very surprised about my results and about my weight loss with Retrofit. My doctor pointed out that the dramatic improvement in my total cholesterol was not just the result of weight loss, that was certainly a component, but more importantly, it was the result of my lifestyle change.

Kilby: Well this year, as part of our health insurance, we had to do a screening, and I tell you when I got my results back, I was really pumped. My blood pressure was back to normal. My cholesterol was perfect, and there's still the amount of weight that I lost. So, it was a pretty good feeling.

David: I was on a blood pressure medication that I just sort of stopped taking, and as I do my blood pressure that's just gone. It's not a problem anymore.

Juan: My doctor says, "You're just a smidge above the normal, and no you don't have to actually go on a statin for the rest of your life."

Matt: It's been pretty amazing. I'm working with 26 people right now and just watching them live their lives, just changing and you're really seeing life changes.

Scott: The Retrofit program has given me permission, and I certainly communicate it to my family that this is a priority, so that first thing Saturday morning if I'm going off to the gym for an hour, an hour and a half, it's understood and that's what it is. So, there's a lot more support there and there's no question about, "Oh do you really need to do it now?" It's, "We'll see you when you get back."

Mia: What Retrofit did for me is to make me realize that in being a mother you don't have to be selfless and worry about what everybody else needs. It's not me or them. It's my well-being is so intricately connected to the well-being of the whole family, and everyone benefits from a happier, more energetic mother.

Dawn: When you lose 10% of your body weight, it's called "clinically significant", and what that means is it decreases disease risk of so many diseases. So, you have lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer...

Brad: ...decreases in blood pressure, decreases in cholesterol.

Dawn: ...better sleep, more energy, and just feeling better.

Norman: My wife is thrilled about one other aspect, probably more than anything else, and that is that I've stopped snoring. I was a pretty loud snorer. As the weight has come off, that apparently has ceased.

Dan: Less snoring means that I'm no longer getting little elbows or kicks in the middle of the night, so I can stay sleeping for a better period of time, and it means my wife is getting better sleep herself.

Tucker: It's really fulfilling seeing them lose the weight, change their behaviors and really improve their lifestyle, and they're just so much better for it.

Robert: The evidence shows very nicely that some of the strongest strategies for long-term weight loss and maintenance is self- monitoring and accountability, and that's exactly what this technology provides.

Holly: A lot of times people say, "It's hard. It's so hard to change behavior. It's so hard to lose weight." That may be true. It may be hard to lose weight and it probably is hard to maintain a weight loss, but it's also hard to be overweight. It's also hard to be obese. It's also hard to have Type 2 diabetes.

It's hard if you die early and you leave your children and your family behind. All those things are hard too. So, I always tell people, you have a choice. You can choose your "hard". So get off the fence. Which hard do you want? You can either choose it or it can choose you.

Whitney: At the end of the day, Retrofit doesn't just impact the number on the scale. Retrofit impacts all the rest of your life. If you're taking some time for yourself and you're focused on your activity and you're fueling your body with good, healthy, raw, natural food, you just position yourself to be a better mom, to be a better spouse, to be a better employee, or employer for that matter.

It just gives you a whole host of benefits that are squishy, and fuzzy, and intangible, but matter almost more than the number on the scale.

Juan: I have not only achieved my weight loss goal, but quite frankly more importantly, I have achieved improvements in my health, measurable improvements in my health.
