The Ontario couple that joins together ...
... loses together, of course!
When Megan McKean gave birth to daughter Catherine two years ago, she really needed support -- not just with her pride and joy, but also to deal with her post-partum weight gain.
The 27-year-old from Whitby, Ontario, had struggled with weight issues her whole life. And after pregnancy, Megan reached 283 pounds -- the largest she'd ever been.
Her friend told her about L A Weight Loss, and it wasn’t long before Megan walked into the Oshawa center with her husband Victor right beside her. Not only did he want to give Megan moral support, but, at 296 pounds, he wanted to get healthy himself.
The weight started melting away. In fact, Victor couldn’t believe how easily the pounds came off. He was hooked on the program. Since joining in October 2005, the couple lost 189 pounds together -- Victor 96 and Megan 93!
Now at 196 pounds, Megan’s energy level has risen to the point that she exercises every other day, and can do much more for her daughter.
Since reaching his goal weight of 200 pounds, Victor is eyeing next winter when he can lace up his skates and play hockey again. That’s something he’s missed while weighing nearly 300 pounds.
Victor and Megan still create meal plans together, and they find staying on course is easier with a partner. Plus, the experience has brought them closer together as a couple.
Way to go guys!!
