I have been a trucker for over 14 years. After a while the long hours and sedentary nature of the job takes a toll on your body. I used to lead an active lifestyle, but I was always a bigger guy, even as a kid. As I got older though, I started to notice I wasn't as solidly built as I used to be. Unfortunately, driving the truck only made matters worse. It seemed that I was always eating on the run, and while that can sometimes be tasty, it's also greasy, fattening fast food. Needless to say, that doesn't exactly help your physique, and as any single guy will tell you, it makes it harder to meet women. As any man knows, the worst thing a woman can tell you is that you are 'nice' because that just means she's not interested in you. When that started happening, it became obvious my weight was getting out of control and I needed to do something quick because it was even affecting my ability to work.

I started an online search about weight loss surgery as an option to finally take care of my weight. That was where I first learned about Slimband. Everything about it seemed to make so much sense that I decided I had to talk with them to get more information. The staff were great, they addressed all my concerns about eating on the go. Since I knew I wasn't going to be able to follow a regular diet given that I'm on the road for 48 hours at a stretch and eating at truck stops is a part of the job. The Slimband is helping me eat less and with the nutritional guidance and online support in the Slimband Community, I really couldn't have expected any more helpful information.

I finally found something that helped me lose weight and keep it off. I've gone from 321 pounds down to 214 pounds in only 7 months following the Slimband program! Before I was always hungry and when I wasn't on the road, I wasn't interested in doing anything other than sitting and watching TV. Now I've learned about portion control and I have a new energy and confidence which has led to increased interest from women. I couldn't be happier with my decision or the results. Instead of watching the life I wanted on TV, I'm actually living it.
