My Story
Hi! My name is Andrew Monson. When I started my weight loss journey I weighed 283 lbs. I was an emotional eater. If something went wrong, I would get a dozen doughnuts and some chocolate milk and have at it. I would sit and watch The Biggest Loser and would have the desire to be like them and lose the weight while sitting on the couch eating a huge meal.
Then reality hit me. I have four girls, and I didn’t want them to be fatherless at a young age. My grandfather had died of a heart attack at the young age of 52. He was out jogging when he had his first heart attack. I didn’t want that to happen to me.
I found April with Healthy Express at a networking group that we both attended. I sat down with her at a free consultation and we worked out a plan. She was a wonderful coach to help me through this, but it was totally up to me on what success I would have. Just like anyone else having a lifestyle change, I fell off the bandwagon a couple of times. The whole time though, it was up to me to make the decisions and April stood next to me while going through those hard times.
Finally about a year and a half later, and with wonderful coaching and mentoring, I have hit my weight loss goal! I now weigh about 170 lbs. and feel great! I have lost a total of 88.25” which is over 7’ worth of height! I have literally lost a whole person.
I owe a lot to April and her program with this major lifestyle change. Because of the weight loss,
my wife and I were healthy enough to get pregnant with twins.
