Dave Lore with Tooele County

Dave Lore, with Tooele County, says that The Apple Program^TM is really working for him. He is participating in a Biggest Loser contest with Tooele County and said that he may not win but he is losing weight and getting in better shape. He has lost over 30 pounds and is exercising a lot more. He is jogging instead of walking and is making a point to get out more. Dave hasn't implemented a strict diet but has found that by eating his seven servings of vegetables he doesn't crave unhealthy foods. Dave says that the vegetables along with a large glass of water really fill him up.

"My Apple Health Coach^TM is great. She is always positive but she challenges me. I have lost over 30 pounds and have dramatically changed my life. The simple changes my coach helped me make have increased my energy and made me feel healthy. I appreciated her encouragement when things weren't going as fast as I wanted and enjoyed her enthusiasm when I had success. The changes are simple not diets but lifestyle changes. I am happy not just for weight loss but with a return to a more active life. Thank you!"

UPDATE:
Since this poster was published Dave has more than doubled his weight loss from 30 to more than 60 pounds. He is excited to share that his physician took him off of his blood pressure, cholesterol and insulin support medications. Dave is now medication free!

Dave continues to emphasize that he did not make any major changes. His trick was to eat at least seven vegetables each day before enjoying any treats. He says that if he wanted a slice of cheesecake he knew what he would have to do – eat seven vegetables first.

Dave recently completed two 20-miles hikes in one weekend and has a 50-mile hike in Yellowstone planned for later this summer. His pants size has decreased from 42 inch to 36 inch.

Dave is enjoying his new life. He’d like to offer encouragement to others by saying “It is possible and it’s not that hard. You don’t have to go on a huge diet.”
