Larry Sims’ Testimony

For at least thirty years I had battled with thirty extra pounds. I would go on a diet (whatever was popular at the time) and would lose about twenty pounds but within a year would gain it back. I would never ever really lose all the weight. In 1997 my wife began rapidly losing her extra weight by just waiting for the hunger signal (a growl) and stopping when she was comfortably full. Soon we began splitting meals when we would go out for dinner and I began losing my weight just by following her example. I then decided to take a Weigh Down Workshop class a neighbor was having and then another class—Weigh Down Advanced—and finally lost all my extra weight. I really never thought this was possible, especially involving no diet rules but only the leading of my own body programmed by God from the beginning! I turned sixty years old in September and have had the weight off for about three years and know it will never return. I thank God He has given me this truth and the ability to do it at my age!

Karen Sims’ Testimony

I am a fifty-eight year old wife and mother of six grown children and twelve grandchildren! I feel happier and healthier now than I have ever felt! At fifty-two, I was going through “the change” and had put on twenty pounds from age thirty believing that the weight gain was “normal” and even a “good thing.” My joints were often sore and bothering me. I felt less energetic and what really bothered me was that I knew I was not looking my best. The extra weight was discouraging. I had tried to lose a few pounds but the fact that I could lose all of the extra weight and keep it off forever was not even a thought. This is when I heard about Weigh Down. In just one week I lost six pounds and over a period of less than six months, I lost the rest of the twenty pounds. I am 5’4” and weigh 110 pounds now, which is how much I weighed when I was twenty-one! At fifty-eight my energy level is far beyond many women of fewer years. The complaining of back and knee pain has ended and people often comment on how young looking and acting I am even though my hair is white! The weight has been gone for four years now and I can hardly believe it myself. I give all credit to God who through Gwen Shamblin taught me truth that our bodies are each designed by God to be a certain size and that size can be reached by following the body signals for empty and full. I am able to eat all foods without exception and able to enjoy all eating experiences. I am a new woman enjoying life—true Life to its fullest!
