MARK GILL - LINCOLN NEBRASKA

NEBRASKA SKINNY JEANS CLUB PRESIDENT

LOST AN AMAZING 83 POUNDS ON ADVOCARE

If you have ever struggled with low self-esteem and the side effects of it, excess weight and addictive habits, you will relate to this story and my prayer is that it will inspire you to make some positive changes in your life.

Retired from the Army, due to medical problems, smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day, dealing with loneliness and stress by overeating and not participating in any physical activity, this single parent of 4 had reached the end of his rope.  Packing on an additional 78 pounds, weighing 228 at only 5'6",  Mark told himself that it didn't matter how he looked.

Until one evening when he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and didn't recognize the person he saw.  His eyes were finally opened to take a good, hard look at himself.   That night he prayed "Dear God, please change me for the better I don't want to live like this anymore."

That was when he was blessed by being introduced to Advocare, and the Trim Down program that not only changed him but, saved his life.

Mark has made a complete transformation. 

Since 2001, he has maintained a weight of 145-150 which suits his 5'6" frame much better.   When you look at his picture he doesn't even look like the same person.
