The moment of truth...
In 2001, at the young age of 27, Darla Sanders was faced with tragic news: she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. At the time, she weighed 130 pounds but because of steroids and other medications she took to treat her cancer, Darla reached 280 pounds�gaining 150 pounds in eight years!
�I was devastated and I was so depressed with the news. Reaching my highest of 280 pounds, I had the realization that I was going to be fat for the rest of my life. I had a membership to the gym but I never went. I was very self-conscious and at that point, I thought to myself��I�m just going to be fat and I will have to deal with it.�
Turning point and losing 51.5 pounds in 90-days
Years have passed and Darla was still unsatisfied with her weight gain. Although she was down to 256 pounds during Christmas in 2008, she was ready for a new chapter in her life.
�I was looking at some pictures taken last Christmas and I realized how big I had gotten and I was tired of being overweight,� she said. �I refused to take diet pills but I knew there was something out there for me.�
After several attempts to lose weight, Darla heard about family nurse practitioner and Franchise Owner, Christie Osuagwu, who introduced her to Slim. Now the 35-year-old Get Slim Challenge winner has lost 51.5 pounds in only three months! |
�Christie introduced me to Slim and it really works! I love the way it makes me feel and I love that it keeps me motivated and it gives me energy. Now I can fit into clothes never thought I would have fit in again,� she said.
Darla added, �I�ve also been able to work out, where before Slim I didn�t have the energy to do it. Since I�ve been taking Slim my blood pressure has gone down and I feel amazing.�
The big payoff
Darla is ecstatic with her $5,000 check but more than banking some cash, she tells us about the big payoff�
As a realtor, Darla has a strong passion for her job. Before Slim, she used to struggle to show house properties to her clients but everything has changed. �I couldn�t even walk fast enough to keep up with clients and I would still find myself out of breath, just very tired all the time. It was frustrating to me. Today, l can actually run a mile without thinking that I�m dying. I�m so proud of myself.�
She emphasized, �I just put a new picture of myself on Facebook and people have been posting comments and asking, �Darla, what have you been doing? You look great!�
With so many people interested to know how she was able to lose weight, Darla decided to become a Franchise Owner, �I have 25 people interested to know what I�ve done. This is an opportunity to tell them my story and get them to try Slim. I�m a walking testimony.�
Darla lives happily with her husband and six children in Texas. She tells us, �I�m not stopping here, I�m going to participate in the 180-day challenge.�

Ten years ago, Richard Rawle was in the best shape of his life. At the age of 30, he lifted weights and could slam dunk a basketball. Unfortunately, Richard started having health issues. Breaking his ankle was the beginning of his weight gain. He then fell while horseback riding, breaking several ribs and even puncturing his lung.
After these injuries, Richard started to feel depressed and discouraged about his sedentary life and the binge eating episodes began. At 322 pounds, his uncontrollable overeating was a huge problem in his life and he felt hopeless. Everything was about to change when Unicity�s Chairman and CEO Stewart Hughes introduced Bios Life Slim� to Richard.
�I saw my good friend Stewart Hughes. He had energy and he looked great. I wanted that as well. I saw that it was a possibility because he was proof that it worked.�
He added, �I can�t say enough good about Slim. In 90 days, I was able to lose 38 pounds and 13 inches. I now have control over my eating and health, when for years I felt completely helpless. I also have lots of energy and my cravings are slim to none. My overall health has improved, my blood pressure has come down to the point where I no longer have to take blood pressure medication.�
Richard is pleased with his transformation and is participating in the 180-day Challenge. He and his wife Kirsten were very excited to receive their $2,500 check! With the help of Slim, Richard is enjoying life again.
�First of all, I have hope. I have the energy to be actively involved with my children in sports. I�m a better example to my kids of how to live a healthier lifestyle. I eat healthy and yet I don�t limit myself in what I eat, just how much I eat. Bios Life Slim has completely changed my life. It works for me, the worst of binge eaters, so it will work for you also.�

As a computer programmer by profession, Jeff Reed spends most of his days sitting down in front of a PC. Sedentary and overweight, Jeff was worried about his health especially since he has a family history of heart attacks and diabetes. Weighing 265 pounds, Jeff knew that he needed to change. The new chapter of his life began when Franchise Owner Walter Wilson introduced him to Slim.
�I feel good with Slim and I have lost 32 pounds so far! Before, I didn�t have a lot of energy and couldn�t do the things that I wanted to do and once I started drinking Slim� all that has changed. I even started to play tennis again. Slim really works and basically helped me to change my lifestyle�from sitting on the couch every day to enjoying life,� he said.
Slim not only helped Jeff lose weight but also helped him lower his cholesterol levels. Before Slim, Jeff was on statins�a drug to lower cholesterol levels. Even though his doctor increased his dosage, they weren�t seeing the expected results and Jeff was feeling constantly tired. A recent study conducted by the American Heart Association showed that statins lower energy and cause lethargy. And Jeff was complaining about these side effects.
�I was always tired and I had no energy to do anything, and my cholesterol levels were not going down. Statins were not doing the job. I started to take Slim and I went back to the doctor and since then, my cholesterol levels are down and my doctor has taken me off the statins!�
Jeff and his wife Sharon decided to start a Bios Life Franchise and they plan to become full-time Franchise Owners soon. Click here to watch a news story featuring a health fair sponsored by Jeff Reed and how he is helping to make life better for others.

TURNING POINT Craig Lott ruptured his intervertebral disc and was rushed to the hospital. To his surprise, his doctor also diagnosed him with high blood pressure and advised him to lose his �gut.� As a truck driver, Craig spends most of his time sitting down and he would eat anything �quick and on the go� while he was on the road.

MY SLIM TESTIMONIAL �Just as I was about to give up, a good friend of mine asked me to try Bios Life Slim. Not only have I lost a lot of fat in my stomach area but my back feels a lot better. I even look better than some of the young guys at the gym.�

TURNING POINT Nearing her family reunion in August, Sharon Reed was determined to look fabulous and slimmer. Before Bios Life Slim�, Sharon had tried multiple times to lose weight but had always failed to achieve any results. Sharon also lacked the energy to play with her granddaughter.
MY SLIM TESTIMONIAL "Bios Life Slim� has made a definite change in my life. It really works and I believe in myself again. I know how hard it is to lose weight and now I feel that I can encourage others to do the same. My husband and I started together because we knew that we had to make changes in our lives. Slim has helped us to lower our cholesterol levels, increase our physical energy and aids in weight loss. I stay at home with our granddaughter and running after a young child takes a lot of energy and I was just always exhausted. Now, I have much more energy to keep up with her."

MY SLIM TESTIMONIAL �I just came back from a trip to Washington D.C. and had a roundtrip flight. It was so cool to be able to fasten my seatbelt in a regular seat without a seatbelt extender! Slim is the fat burner that helps us to lose inches. It�s also been fun getting rid of my big �fat clothes� and shopping for sizes that I have not been able to fit for several years!�

TURNING POINT Reaching 292 pounds, 67-year-old Franchise Owner James Argotsinger could no longer go up and down the stairs due to his excess weight and he couldn�t get around without his family�s help.
MY SLIM TESTIMONIAL �I feel so much better now and I can get around on my own. Before Bios Life Slim�, I was always hungry and I was in a lot of pain so I ate as a way of consolation. Slim has cut down the urge I had to eat all the time. Before Slim, I�d always snack on a peanut butter sandwich, ice cream or apple pies. Slim helped me to cut out food that I�m not supposed to eat and the great thing about Slim is that it tastes good!�
