Hi Molly
I live in the middle of no where Saskatchewan and at least 10 hours from the SS program in Calgary that I joined. I joined a year ago in December and got to my goal weight in June.
I did WW, NS, Atikins, no carb, low carb and even fasting in my 45 years as a dieter. This one felt different and I have been maintaining since June.
I started skeptical, and hopeless. I felt more helpless than I had ever felt in my life. But I won't say that this was easy. there where many tough days, moments and weeks. But if you stick to this program the rewards are huge.

My name is Daniel, and I have lost nearly 100 pounds with SureSlim. 
When I first walked in the clinic on April of 2008, I expressed that I needed help and support with my weight situation. As I walked in the doors, I just said, "I need your help."
At that time, I was nearly 295 pounds and unhappy in the way I looked. I needed to loose weight because I was diabetic and knew the health risks and complications accociated with this disease.
...
I first heard about SureSlim when I went to my doctor's office to talk about gastric bypass surgery. The receptionist knew about a new SureSlim opening in our city and recommended that I try it. However, I have been dieting since I was seven years old, and have tried EVERY diet on the planet, I thought this program would be no different.
...
At the age of 59,my weight had ballooned to a staggering 207 pounds and with a 5'2 frame, I was desperate! I was surfing the net for information about lap band surgery when I found a site about SureSlim. I decided to give it a try before going any further with the surgery idea. To my surprize and delight I immediately started losing weight-a first for many years of trying. ...
I joined SureSlim five months ago...having hit rock bottom. My type 2 diabetes was still out of control after 15 years. I had a diabetic specialist, neurologists, cardiologists, renital surgeons, sleep specialists and a host of other Doctors who were doing their best to help me. The reality of it was that I wasn't helping myself and I was going to die because of it. I finally faced up to the fact that I had to take control of things.
...
I started the program on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 and have lost a total of 65 pounds (as of yesterday)! In just over 4 months, I have gone from my starting weight of 314.5 lbs. to 249.6 lbs.
When I started the program I was asked what my ideal weight would be. I immediately responded 250 lbs. At 45 years of age and being 6'4" tall, I thought this weight would suit me well for the rest of my life. The doctor's charts indicate I should weigh 225 lbs. based on my height and frame. Now that I am at my personal goal (in such a short time) I think I will go for the remaining weight.
My wife has been following along (just by eating the same foods I am) and she has dropped 45 lbs. We are exhilarated at the prospect of what our future will hold.

I had my 10 week weigh in today and I am down another 3 lbs...which takes me to within 4 lbs of the 50 lb loss... ...
