Hello, My name is SusanWelcome to my Web site!I represent the Slander Now Weight Management Program from Life Plus International because of how it worked for me. As a fat woman here is my experience. At 5' 7" tall and 43 years old, my 222lbs was effecting my health. As a tour guide in Bermuda’s prestigious Crystal Cave. My job consisted of showing the cave to the many people that visited us from around the world. The cave is popular for its clear turquoise colored waters that come in from the ocean. The white limestone stalactites and stalagmites gleams so peacefully against the glassy pool under a wooden bridge that stretched from one end of the cave to the other. In order to witness this, one would have to go 120 feet to the very bottom of the cave. In the height of the season we have over a thousand people a day to contend with. The tour is approximately twenty minutes and with three guides on, we go underground ten minutes of one another, eight hours a day. It is a walking tour that consists of eighty one steps down and back plus a long ramp and we are constantly warning people that if they had a heart condition or problems walking up and down steps, it was advisable that they do not take this tour. One would think that with all the walking I had to do, I wouldn’t have a weight problem. But I did. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, my weight was steady on the increase. I found it harder and harder to catch my breath each time I surfaced. At the end of each day, the pain in my legs and joints were unbearable. I even experienced problems sleeping because of it. Then one day, in the midst of a tour, I experienced difficulty in breathing. I thought I was having an asthma attack and struggled as I took the tour back to the surface. After sitting for a few minutes on the benches to the entrance gate, I mustered up enough energy to walk up stairs to the office to excuse my self for the day. Unfortunately I ended up staying out on sick leave longer than I anticipated. While I was on leave, I went to my family physician who immediately identified what the problem was. His diagnosis took me completely off guard. He told me that, aside from being over weight, I had a heart arrhythmia. An irregular heart beat. Apparently, if left untreated, it had the potential to migrate into something worse. From what I understand my weight was not the cause of the condition, but the excess weight certainly puts strain on the heart, causing it to work even harder. With the proper medication prescribed and a sensible diet plan, I was on my way to recovery. After seeing the doctor I never gave my co-workers a true description of what really happened to me. I don’t know why but I felt the need to keep my condition a secret. It wasn’t necessary for any one to know. Especially since it was treatable. I guess I was too afraid and embarrassed that they may think I was just too darn heavy to keep up with the pace of the job. The weight WAS a contributing factor to other complaints I had. It was time to think seriously about getting it off. My aim was to weigh 150 lbs. again, and I am determined to do it. I had 72 lbs. to loose. I was confident that I could withstand the tough struggle ahead to bring me back to my ideal weight. In the weeks that followed I was eating, as prescribed. A relatively starchy, low fat diet of approximately 1800 calories a day. However, the process was very slow. I was hardly loosing any weight at all considering the length of time I was on it. The diet made me feel bloated. To me, it felt as though I was eating more than when I started. Therefore, I went on a search for an eating plan that would make me feel better. Being healthy became my first priority. As fate had it, two weeks later, I ran into someone that would change my out look to what dieting really was about.
In January of 99, I took a tour that included a friend who I hadn’t seen in a long time. She moved to United States years ago and was now back in Bermuda visiting relatives with her husband and two children. She lost a lot of weight and looked extremely young and vibrant. It was surprising because when I last saw her, she was bigger than I. Remembering looking at her in total amazement since she managed to make a complete transformation from what she looked like before. She was a totally different person. I was impressed. and asked her how she did it and she proceeded to tell me about LIFE PLUS - Slender Now Weight Management Program that could completely change my life. She assured me that it would not only help me shed the extra pounds but it would be able me to keep the pounds off. She told me that I would look better, feel better, and be more healthier. She even suggested that I would probably become more active, feel better about my self and develop a renewed interest in life. Most important of all, I would not go hungry. Her enthusiasm and eagerness to help me, made me feel more determined to help myself. It wasn’t hard to get involved in what she was saying since I had recently been searching for a solution for my weight problem. Years ago, another woman told me about LIFE PLUS products, but I wasn’t interested. Hearing the name LIFE PLUS again quickly jarred my memory to what SHE told me back then. After the tour, my old friend took my number and promised to call me that evening to give me the number to where to get the products. She never called. I was sorry I didn’t get the number to where she was staying in Bermuda so I could call her. Unfortunately, I couldn’t remember her married name and I didn’t know how long she planned to visit on the island. But I DID know the name of the woman that I talked to a couple of years earlier and lucky for me she was listed in the phone book. She was still involved in LIFE PLUS and was very pleasant over the phone. She expressed how happy she was that I called and was very eager to put me on the right path. She told me that I could make the call myself. Suggesting that all I had to do was to give the company her pin number for referral. I was reluctant since it was all new to me. She trusted me and placed the order on her own card and arranged that I put the money back in her bank account the following day. This was NOT a standard procedure for any one promoting the Life Plus products. Normally the person placed the call themselves followed by a pin number. I was lucky. To my surprise the package from Arkansas arrived at my address in Bermuda within four days, which I was pleasantly surprised at what was inside the package. There was a 36 page booklet and other papers and pamphlets packed with the actual products. There was even a wholesale price list that published the dozens of products that LIFE PLUS puts out. The clear plastic tote bag that they came in was equally impressive. The products themselves came in four plastic containers varying in size. The first was a product called
A unique herbal thermogenic formula designed to burn body fat. This small white container consisted of 120 tablets that are usually taken first thing mornings and thirty minutes before lunch and dinner. The second was a product called;
A high quality soluble fiber and shape plus herbs with whole grapefruit puree. No sugar added. This product weighs 24.5 0z (700 GM) and is designed to bind dietary fat and helps to avoid some fat calories. It also maintains bulk to keep food traveling on through quicker. It provides normal elimination, more so than most diets. The third product was called:
A collagen hydrolysate liquid which provides amino acids for energy. It also supports lean body mass. This product comes in a tall slender bottle which holds 16 FL 0Z (473 ML) The fourth and final product is called:
DR. Marshall’s exclusive starch blocker formula. This is designed to block starch calories. It is best to avoid large amounts of starches (complex carbohydrates) such as pasta or bread. It is recommended that you take one or two Phase’o Lean Forte tablets at the start of meals that contain vegetables to block some of the starch calories.

WEEKLY RECORD. By February the 8th 1999, I put my plan into action. This date marked the beginning of a diet that has truly change my life. At first I was having difficulty understanding what a high protein, low carbohydrate diet really meant. I wasn’t sure what to eat. So I went to the book store to find information that would give me a more extensive guide line to what I should eat. I was happy to find that there was a book that gave a complete understanding to what high protein low-carbohydrate dieting was about. It was written by Robert C. Atkins. MD and the book was called Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. Here I got a complete understanding on what to do and why I was doing it. To my pleasant surprise the information he shared in this book was very similar to the life plus booklets that were put out. Only Dr. Atkins' book had a large selection of menus and recipes to use for anyone that was using this type of diet. This was just what I was looking for. And so with these recipes combined with my weight management program, I was on my way.
