The Family Who GOLOs Together: Part II

Eight weeks in the program: 3/8/2020 At the 6-week mark of this program came the dreaded time for us to move our daughter over 3,000 miles away to Vancouver, BC.  She got accepted to a film school that has the exact program degree that she wants to have as a career.  She’s always been a shy kid, but she really wanted this and who are we to stomp on her dreams?  I was going out with her 2 weeks before her program started to get her set up in her apartment.  In addition to this being a sad time of letting our baby go and not seeing her every day, we also had to worry about staying on ...

Our GOLO customer, Jamey Coggins, put it best: “I had years of struggle, and I was desperate to get back to a healthier weight to take the stress out of my body.” Jamey was a victim to a laundry list of health issues. At 228 pounds, the complications began to scare her. “I was short of breath with no energy and my cholesterol reached a dangerous level of 265 LDL,” she said.

She had a fantastic party with family and friends, and she received all the gifts she wanted and even more—but she was shocked by the photos from her celebration.

The Family Who GOLOs Together, Loses Together (and Stays Together)

I want to start off by saying that I was asked to write this post because my family and I are in a unique position of doing this all together and are at the beginning stages of our journey to lose weight. The information that is provided is very personal and I was reluctant at first to disclose this aspect of our lives, however after discussing it with my husband, we feel that it is important for the reader to know this information to understand how really unique our situation is.

By: Maria Amado These days, immediate solutions are a must. Need to deposit a check? Use an online banking portal. Looking for love? Swipe on a dating app. Hungry? Drive to a fast food spot. But oftentimes, these quick fixes aren’t smart or healthy. The reality is, there is no magic pill we can take to lose weight immediately –– we have to listen to our bodies and put in hard work.
