In the last 5 years, my participation in various weight control programs had been disappointingly unsuccessful. However, the Serotonin Formula Weight Loss Program™ has been AMAZING!! While following this program during this past 12 week period that included Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year festivities, I LOST 20 lbs. …TRULY AMAZING…

I never did a lot of different diet programs – other than Weight Watchers many years ago – I always tried to control my weight by exercising. Because I am tall, I could get away with this. But as I got older (53), exercise could not make up for the large portions of carbohydrates I seemed to require. I was always hungry.

I must have thought about my weight, and felt bad about myself, 30 times a day at least. It affected everything. I was angry at myself, angry at other people, I wore black jeans and a black sweater everyday to work, I felt old and unattractive. My slow but steady weight gain – in five years I went from a size 14 to a size 18 – affected all aspects of my life; my relationship with my extended family (their firm belief: “fat=lazy, this=a good person”), my social life (none!), my work relationships (I believe I was passed over for promotions and opportunities because I looked old, acted angry and was just not part of the team).

I knew myself well enough to know that Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and other similar denial programs and “group support” programs were not going to work for me. I just felt that I could not keep that kind of commitment. I wanted to see some immediate results or I would just lose hope and give up. Unlike many other people, I had not tried all sorts of diets prior to the Serotonin Formula program. I did nothing – just felt bad and thought there was no solution…

In seven months I went from a size 18 to a size 8. I wouldn’t have believed it. I had always exercised vigorously – and this continued throughout the Serotonin Formula program. But the exercises got easier and my performance level improved dramatically. With much improved nutritional habits to match my regular exercise program, my depression is better controlled, my chronic migraines are improved (not totally gone, but certainly 95% improved). In both cases, I am taking less medicine and feeling better.

I cannot begin to tell you how much better I feel about my life, my work, my self-image. All my relationships – with family, friends, etc. – have improved. My work habits and work energy are high and I believe I am viewed as a more valuable resource by my co-workers and manager. I did not discuss my diet commitment with my friends, family or co-workers. It was my own business and I just did it for myself. I can’t explain why, but I feel that keeping this to myself helped me stick to it.

Its been a great experience. I feel very lucky to have spotted that small ad one day last March and took a step towards gaining control of my life. No fad diet would have done this for me. I feel that my new habits are going to be with me for life.
