It was Almased that brought back the skinny version of me.

One day, I saw a picture of myself in a company team photo and thought, “Is this how everyone sees me?” I didn’t like the way I looked, and on top of that, it didn’t feel good hearing from my doctor about my labs-—my cholesterol and blood sugar levels were all off, my liver tests were bad, and I was getting closer to diabetes. I knew this would happen with age, but hearing it really depressed me. My mom, trying to reassure me, said, “You can’t be 20 forever.” But I knew there was still a skinnier version of me in there somewhere.

Out of the blue, I found Almased while flipping through a magazine. My husband, a fitness fanatic, told me that if I was going to try it, I should stick to it.

With all the weight I’ve lost, I’m now more energetic. Before, I used to feel winded just from walking, but now I can run alongside my children at their soccer practices without feeling tired.

Not only did Almased help with my physical health, but it also helped my mental health. I used to dread going to events, especially during the holidays, because finding something I felt comfortable wearing was so hard. I didn’t feel happy about my body. But after losing weight with Almased, I feel like I have gotten myself back. My depression went away--—I feel amazing! Almased changed my lifestyle, fixing my mental well-being and saving my life.

Today, a year later, I’m maintaining my weight. I’m more fit and happy. My daughter said, “Mom, you’re looking great”, after seeing me fit into her clothes. An old co-worker who I caught up with thought I was a teenager when I walked up to her to hug her. She teased, “Are you trying to be a college student?” I’m thinking, yeah, I love how I look and feel!
