Anna Synowiec, Edmonton, AB Lost 41 lbs in 24 weeks I am a 33 year old mother of two who works full time and overall I have a great life, although I have always had problems with weight fluctuations since my early twenties. I have managed to lose weight on my own a couple of times, but due to the fact that I didn't do it properly it has always crept back. After having my second child I managed to lose some weight, but I needed to lose at least 40 more pounds to be at a healthy weight. I tried dieting on my own and making my own exercise program, but always ended up bingeing and never sticking to a schedule. My energy was low, I felt tired and unmotivated, and my positive self esteem was in short supply. One day I was talking with a couple who are good friends of mine and he mentioned how he was doing a program through Brian and Donna for competitive bodybuilding, and said that they would be great people to talk to because they not only work with professional athletes but regular people like you and me who want to better themselves. I thought it over and decided to contact them, and it was one of the most positive things I have ever done for myself. Not only did I learn to eat properly, I was never hungry and the food list had many things to choose from. Donna was always very prompt in answering any inquiries I had, and she gave me the tools to lead a very healthy lifestyle and through doing the program taught me what foods contain what and how to use that to my benefit. I was quite surprised to learn that food(and plenty of it!) is the key to weight loss, and though I should have exercised more, I barely did and I still managed to lose 41 pounds in my six months with them. My energy levels are high, I feel absolutely wonderful physically, and my self esteem these days is great. Amazing what a bit of good guidance will do. I will be forever grateful to Donna and Brian for helping me reach my goals, and I would reccomend them first and foremost to anyone who wants to change their lifestyle for the better. THANK YOU - Anna Synowiec

David Luscombe, Edmonton, AB Lost 35 lbs in 29 weeks I am a busy forty year old business owner that has been active, playing hockey and golf for most of my life. Like many people approaching mid life, I began hearing stories of acquaintances and friends that have or were beginning to experience health problems. During my annual check up with my Dr., I was surprised and pissed off when he told me that my total cholesterol was a high of 6.95 and normal is <5.20 and that I could afford to lose 20 lbs (he was being diplomatic) to keep myself out of the high risk for a heart attack category. I weighed 206 pounds and when I looked around at everyone else in my age range, I was average sized. It wasn't until I was tying my shoe laces one day and found myself seriously out of breath, that I got the message that I either had to lose some weight or supplement my wardrobe with slip-on shoes. A friend of mine suggested that I meet with Brian and Donna Logue, "and not to be intimidated by their success in the body building world." Who better to meet with about nutrition and body fat than IFBB Pro Bodybuilders? In my mind I thought I would learn something about nutrition and then adjust whatever 'program' or 'fad diet' that Donna and Brian would put me on, to something that I could live with in the 'real' world. After meeting with the two of them, I was shocked to learn that I would be eating normal food purchased at my local grocery store and could still visit restaurants, which is a big part of my occupational lifestyle. My initial goal was to lose 25 pounds and Brian promised that if I made healthy food choices for 20 weeks, that I could lose the weight and at the same time re-shape my rounded body into something with definition. During the first 10 weeks, I lost 15 pounds and didn't do any additional exercise over and above the one hour of recreational hockey per week that was part of my regular routine. After ten weeks I began to feel so good that I have been exercising an additional 2 ˝ hours/ week. It has been 29 weeks and 35 pounds since I first met with Brian and Donna. I didn't set any records for quick weight loss, nor do I plan on getting into body building now that I can actually see my muscle. What is important is that my cholesterol is now 4.75, well below a 'normal' 5.20, which means that I am officially off of the high risk list for a heart attack and I can bend over to put on my shoes without holding my breath. The new additions to my wardrobe do not include slip on shoes but waist size 32" jeans instead of my pre-weight loss jeans at 38". I have learned what to eat to make my body feel good and I know I can maintain this lifestyle well into the future. It isn't magical and it isn't easy to make healthy food choices but then again if the easy way out is in a casket or worse yet burdening my family with medical obligations after a heart attack, then I will continue to make the proper food choices that are making me feel good today.

Lisa Connell, Edmonton, AB Lost 52 lbs in 5 months At age 15, my first diet was the one that requires special packaged foods that were so expensive that I couldnt' afford to continue... My following diets included counting points, pills, powders, meals always different than family served menus. I'd start and stop, then confess I couldn't live that way - it wasn't working for me. Up to that point at least, I was constantly aware of my weight and kept it in check on occaision. Finally, I was burnt-out with trying after I told myself that I must have some strange metabolic background, after all, results weren't long lasting and my eating habbits on a diet were not attainable - how could I continue for the rest of my life? I gained so much weight that what was the point of dieting again only to be dissapointed in the end? Then I attempted something in desperation... I researched nutrition and its effects on dedicated gym exercising. It seemed to be so natural and make so much sense to me that I apparently had overlooked my individual needs. Each person functions differently because each person is an individual. I immediately joined the gym and hired my nutritionists "Brian & Donna" who created a balanced healthy meal plan that makes a life-time of sense. I now never feel hungry and can eat sensibly without over-indulging on comfort foods... I simply love it! I can do this - it's non-depriving, and I crave nothing because I lack nothing. I have found a new comfort - confidence and the feeling of support from my nutritionists - the experts who know "Food". I have now safely lost 100 lbs of 'comfort fat', replacing that fat is the knowledge and acceptance of a healthy lifestyule. I feel so great, I feel soo good. Thank you both so very much!

Brett Henderson, Edmonton, AB Lost 63 lbs in 12 weeks Although active for most of my life, I was constantly battling to keep my weight down. Over the years, I tried many diets where I would lose the weight and then as time passed slowly put it back on. After some time of watching weigh go up and down I just gave up and heaved the scale into the trash. Slowly over 6 years of inactivity and sitting behind a desk I have allowed my 5’4” frame at the age of 49 to balloon to 247 lbs. with a 44 inch waist. With a sudden sense of urgency, I was off to sign up at the nearest gym. After 4 ˝ months of dedication, I was frustrated to see that I had barely lost 15 lbs. It was at this point that a friend suggested that I call the Logues and try their nutritional program in conjunction with my workout. That bit of advice has turned my life around. In the following 12 weeks (which spanned the holiday season), I lost 48 lbs. following their nutritional program. I am currently 184 lbs. with a 33 inch waist. During these 12 weeks, I found Brian and Donna Logue to be the consummate professionals who strove for my success while imparting the necessary knowledge, advice and encouragement that I required when I e-mailed my weekly updates, thus keeping me positive and on track to attain all my goals past, present and in the future as I continue with the program. I believe the Logue’s nutritional advice can work as well for anyone as it has for me. Therefore, I believe anyone’s chances of success are extremely high, conversely as with most things in life you guarantee failure once you quit on yourself.

Brian Barlund, Edmonton, AB Lost 123 lbs in 28 weeks I had never been a little guy, however, I had never been a fat guy either. I was always able to control my weight with exercise; throughout high school, and my early university days, I kept quite active. My high level of activity helped to mask my poor eating habits. However, as my activity level decreased, my weight and waistband slowly started to increase. After a few years, my weight had ballooned up to over 330 lbs. I no longer recognized the man in the mirror and I knew I needed to make some serious changes. Popular consensus told me that the key to weight loss is exercise, so I tried to control my weight by running and biking. I lost a few pounds, but it was nothing to write home about. I was exercising like a madman and was still not getting anywhere. I knew I needed some help with my diet. I determined that in order to choose which diet to follow, I should look at the various 'after' photos. I didn’t want to end up looking like an emancipated Survivor contestant; I wanted a lean, muscular physique. Enter Brian and Donna Logue. I’d heard about the Logues from various people at the gym, from their website, and from their clients' success on an Edmonton-based weight loss TV show. I was a little intimidated at first, but after meeting with Brian and Donna, my fears quickly disappeared. They are two of the nicest people I've met and they never made me feel fat or out of place. They were both very positive and confident that if I listened to their advice, I would be successful. They were right! After seven months, I went from 335lbs to 212 lbs. I lost over 15 inches off of my waist and dropped my pants size from 52 to 36. The cool thing about Brian and Donna's approach to dieting is that I was never hungry. I was eating delicious everyday food that was nutritionally dense and I didn’t have to buy any special pills or eat specific brands of food. Brian and Donna were there to support me the entire time. Their knowledge, patience, and support were the key to my weight loss success! I lost this weight while working fulltime and attending evening university classes and in case you’re wondering, I’m not that special. Brian and Donna have helped thousands of people realize their weight loss dreams and if you’re not satisfied with your physique, I encourage you to call them. You won't be disappointed!
