Life is just a pleasure now. That's how Tina describes everyday. She and her husband joined Monarch together and in one year, she lost 70 pounds and he lost 53 pounds.

Tina and Lonnie both had high blood pressure and Lonnie also had high cholesterol. Today, their blood pressure is normal and Lonnie says his high cholesterol numbers are way down and his good cholesterol numbers are way up.

"My husband and I are more active. I'm able to walk 5 to 7 miles every day - without struggling," Tina says.

"I have much more energy," Lonnie says. "I'm doing more travelling, hiking and more gardening and working around the house."
