After years of going on and off every diet imaginable, I found myself at 51 years old and still trying to lose the same 30 to 50 pounds I'd been battling for 30 years.
Becoming more and more depressed and hopeless, I found myself staying at home, isolated and eating, or crying while driving home from ballroom dance lessons.
My hobby and passion is ballroom dance and it was becoming increasingly hard to move on the dance floor and make any progress with my training.
A good friend of mine had a family member that comes here and told me about the Rice Diet. I finally made a commitment to take time off and attend the program, arriving July 20th, 2010. I lost l0 pounds immediately and another 25 since leaving by following the program here and while at home participating in the Healthy@Home Program.
In September, just two weeks after leaving the Rice house, I competed at the United States Ballroom Dance Sport Championship in Orlando, Florida, winning the US '10 Dance Championship, Silver Level for my age group. What a thrill it is to move on the dance floor less 35 pounds!
