Florence's Story

My name is Florence Bellamy and I’m 52 years old. Age is important because that is precisely why I came to know Metabolic Balance and their wonderful staff. The majority of my life I’ve never had a weight problem but when I hit about 45 years old the weight progressively found its way into my jeans! I always weighed approximately 120 lbs. But now I found myself at 150 lbs and my body mass index indicating that I was 26 BMI and considered overweight!

Definition below:

Overweight:

You are above the BMI range of 20-25 considered to be healthy for your height and weight. Losing weight will reduce your risk of health issues such as diabetes and heart disease. It will also help your overall health, well-being, and improve your energy level.

Since diabetes runs in my family I became focused about losing the weight yet nothing I did on my own would help me shed the pounds. I tried working out, fasting but nothing seem to work. A good friend had lost 15 pounds through Metabolic Balance and seeing the difference in her convinced me that I too could drop the weight! I signed up with Metabolic Balance staff in East Orlando and successfully dropped 20 lbs. Katie was wonderful and their staff was always available when I had questions. I finished the program but my story doesn’t end here. After several months of falling back into my old ways, I put back 15 lbs. But the beauty of this program and the grace of their staff allowed me to meet the Metabolic Balance team in Celebration (Debbie’s group) and welcomed me with open arms. I since went back on the program and was able to drop the 15 lbs. successfully with Debbie’s guidance Thank you Metabolic Balance!

I’m your biggest cheerleader!
