It’s hard to believe summer is close to an end which means school starts again and we get back into helping people get healthy inside and out through STRIVE 2 Survive. The last two mornings, I have had the opportunity to visit with the folks at KXLG radio and Jeff Anderson with 1480AM to promote our program. A common question people ask about STRIVE is what kind of success we have seen. Since we are not a program like the Biggest Loser that focuses on total weight loss in a short amount of time, we measure our success by cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar improvements as well as weight, body fat percentage, and waist circumference improvements. We actually want to see a slower and steady weight loss rather than a fast, large weight loss as the person who has the slow and steady weight loss will be more apt to keep it off in the long run. Under our “info” tab, we have highlighted many of our participant’s success, but I thought I’d include it here as well to help show the success of our program in regards to disease prevention and wellness.
Female Participant (Age 30-35): lost 19 lbs, improved her cholesterol by 45 points and triglycerides by 95 points, also lost 2 inches off her waist!
Female Participant (Age 50-55): lost 13 lbs (lost 42 lbs total over the last 6-8 months by working with Kelsey), lost 5.8% body weight, improved blood sugars and cholesterol, lost 2 inches off her waist!

Female Participant (Age 35-40): Lost 21 lbs, 12% of her body weight, improved her total cholesterol by 66 points, LDL cholesterol by 61 points, blood pressure to a more normal range, dropped 3 ½ inches off her waist and her BMI into the healthy weight category from overweight, along with greatly improving her body fat percent and fat mass!
