My name is Janet Comer and I retired from Delphi in April 2005. I've only had a weight problem the past 5-6 years. I acquired "lots of weight" when I broke my shoulder 3 years ago in August 2006. I was in a sling for 7 weeks. I couldn't do anything. All I did was move from chair to chair--chair to couch--chair to picnic table, etc and "ate out lots" during this time. I finally decided I was "too fat and overweight" and not healthy.

I saw Dr. Haendiges weight loss ad in the newspaper--gave it some though and called for an appointment. On meeting with Dr. Haendiges and the consultation; I told the Dr. I felt like a pregnant elephant. I didn't even weight this much being pregnant with 4 kids. I got tired of wearing sweat pants all the time and felt like I "never looked neat." The Dr. showed me a program to follow and I agreed to try it. I felt so "short of breath" before losing the weight and now I have so much energy all the time.

I incorporated a walking program after a couple of weeks into the weight loss program. I started out walking a mile. After a week I increased to more than a mile. Now I walk 2 1/2 miles every day, sometimes twice a day if I have the time. I sometimes jog for 30 minutes watching the evening news. In the winter months when the weather is "too nasty" to walk outside I walk with the "Walk Away the Pounds" tape every day.

The staff at the Doctor's office was always very helpful, supportive and encouraged me. Everyone is so friendly and outgoing there.

I am a very determined and goal oriented person in whatever I set out to do. I was very determined to lose the weight. I had set a goal for myself while losing weight.

I really did enjoy the shakes and energy bars I used with the weight loss program. I never got hungry. I was amazed. I would recommend Dr. Haendiges' weight loss program to anyone who is serious about losing weight. I have really learned to watch my serving amounts and intake of calories after this program. Eating small portions doesn't bother me at all. We don't need second helpings! I enjoy my walking and I try to stay moving all the time. I can't sit still for a very long time. I'm happy wearing "skinny clothes" now. I wasn't happy with myself with all the extra weight. I also feel that I'm a pretty healthy person now, more so than before. I do eat out about once a month, but I just eat smaller portions and forget any second helpings.

Family Background: I have 4 adult children. 4 adult grandchildren. 3 step grandchildren - with the 2 youngest being in college. 1 great grandson. I usually keep him 1 day a week for about 4 hours or so. I enjoy him so much. I don't get anything done when he is here.

I like to stay busy and active. I'm involved in several organizations (both Native American and Military) During the winter months I attend basketball games.
