Joani Trickett
Nelson BC, Canada
Goal: To lose 100 lb by convention
Target:175 lb on August 8th, 2009
My name is Joani Trickett, and I'm a fighter! I have fought with addictions for many years: smoking, alcohol and drugs, and have overcome all but one - my addiction to food. All my life I have been ridiculed about my weight. In high school I was teased so much about my weight that I dropped out, but went back to complete college as a mature student.
In September 2008 I was not only grossly obese, but suffering from a number of weight-related conditions. I have always been very active in my community, but hobbled along in great discomfort all day long. My life was going down hill very quickly. I knew I was at risk of serious disability or worse. I finally got honest with myself and admitted that most of my problems stemmed from my weight and the extra load I was putting on my body. I had tried everything. I was even on the list for a gastric bi-pass surgery. I felt I was at the end of my rope and needed to do something right away.
I don't know how it happened, but a phone number caught my eye in a local health directory. I called immediately, left a message, thinking to myself, "This is another dead end!" Well, to my surprise, I got a call back right away. It was Nancy. She has since become my very good friend and coach. I told her this was my last hope. I warned her that I was skeptical. In my experience, most programs worked for a little while, but I would slip, or over eat and fail again.
Nancy told me about Isagenix and was confident that it would help me provided I followed the program and accepted her support. When she asked me how much weight I wanted to lose, I answered, "5 pounds." I explained that I needed to succeed, so if I had a small goal, I could accomplish it and feel successful. And successful I have been. I have lost 85 pounds in 10 months. My goal is to reach the '100 Pound Club' by Celebration.
It hasn't been easy. I am the President of the Rod and Gun Club and active in several local organizations. I plan dinners and socials almost every weekend. I had to face my demons head on and admit that I had out-of-control food cravings! Although I have had my challenges and slips along the way, with Isagenix it has been easy to get back on track.
My life has changed dramatically over the past 10 months! This Christmas I danced with my husband for the first time in 12 years! I can now get into the boat to go fishing without any help. I was so large I couldn't fit into the driver's seat of my grandson's jeep. Today I own one! I walk every day and swim in the winter at the town pool. I feel better than I have for years and, at 68, I have a new lease on life! Thank you Isagenix!
