During this time he incurred several injuries and ended up having surgery in both shoulders. He was now less active, but still ate the same.

Wesley has struggled with weight loss, which has really started to take a toll in the last 3 years with high blood pressure and is currently on 7 forms of prescription medication. Wesley researched and seeked this program, as he knew he had reached a point where he could not do this by himself. His health was deteriorating and decided to call LIF.

Wesley lost an astounding 19 lbs in one week, for a total 80 lbs to date! Nutrition is a key factor and Wesley has been very satisfied with the customization of the meal plan at LIF. He has enjoyed the meals and has never felt hungry.
The workouts have been modified to accommodate his size and limitations. His favorite machine has been the hand bike and recently he has been challenging himself on the treadmill. He loves the feel, vibe, and layout of the new facility. The new Cafe is bright and open with an outdoor seating area for dining. Having hands on interaction with the chefs and coaches daily.
