Update: I have now lost a total of 70 Pounds and 6 inches! I am now working on building up the muscles in my back, my arms and shoulders. In addition to using Celsius with exercise, it is a good energy drink. I now have friends at my club turned on to Celsius too. Here is my story when I first contacted Celsius:
In Nov. of 09 I had my 6th back surgery and I decided to start losing some weight to take the pressure of the back and I had the time to do this because I just retired in July of 09 after 42 years in education. I retired as a high school principal (42 years working with teenagers and I have hair left).
In March of 2010 I started a program to lose weight. I was 252 at 6'. I went over to the athletic club to start an exercise program and to swim two days a week. I knew I was overweight when swimming, and was afraid if I rolled over on my back and spit out some water, someone would harpoon me as a whale.
After much work, I started to lose weight but kept coming to these plateaus and stopped losing weight, I needed some help. I came across an ad for Celsius and on the box it said Celsius is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. How true! It was in May that I found Celsius, I was down about 15 pounds, since I started the exercise program, counting calories and watching what I eat and drinking Celsius, I am now down to 200, a loss of 42 pounds! I used to have a waist of 44, and now a 42, but even a 42 is now too large. If I try to wear my shorts without a belt, they just fall to the floor.
Before I go to a workout I drink a can of Celsius and before I play a round of golf, I drink a can of Celsius. I find out that when I do this, I have much more energy and I work harder. It is July and I have been down now for several weeks.
My goal now is to stay at the level I am right now. I will keep drinking Celsius because it works, especially if you follow the recommendation that is on the carton of Celsius. Celsius is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Celsius may enhance the benefits of regular exercise (very true), such as cardio fitness, endurance and body composition. I find this to be true. There is nothing harmful in Celsius and I like the taste of the Ginger ale drink.
People say they don't recognize me because of the weight I have lost. One of the workers in the pro shop (I live on a golf course which is part of a retirement community) has now started to use Celsius and he wants to lose a 150 pounds.
Thanks! I am now going to have to buy some new pants, as my old ones do not fit anymore.
