Dear Mr. Tony Little,
Please allow me to introduce myself
to you. My name is Paul, I'm 31 years old, married with
two children and employed as a Police Officer in
Cuyahoga County.
Back in November 1989, I came down with a bad cold
which turned into pneumonia. After the pneumonia cleared up in
mid December, I still had great difficulty breathing. The
doctor prescribed some medication and inhaling sprays for my
asthma. He went on to say that the weight loss would not only
help my asthma, but would help relieve some of my lower back
pain. I was in constant pain all the time.
I was so depressed, besides the back and leg pain and
being so out of breath due to the asthma, (I could not walk
from the bed room to the bath room without being out of
breath) I had to face the hard fact that I weigh 370 lbs. The
doctor wanted me to lose 150 to 170 pounds!
That night I was up late feeling sorry for myself, I
was flipping through the channels on the TV. Tony Little was
there on the screen and was talking about his life story and
how he recovered from his back injuries after his car
accident.
I looked at Tony, he seemed so healthy and happy. He
came across so positive, I felt that he was talking just to me
about what the program on the tape would do for me. So I
grabbed the phone and ordered the tape. Within a week, it was
at my home. I did the work out five to six days a week; on the
other days of the week I would walk for about an hour. Tony, I
remember trying to do abdominal curls, I could hardly bend in
the middle because I was so fat, but I fought with myself to
do at least the beginners stage of each of the
exercises.
When I began all this I was kind of doubtful, if I
would have the perseverance to carry this out to completion.
But Tony, I kept hearing you say things like, "YOU CAN DO IT"
and "IT'S ATTITUDE FOLKS" and also about having "INTENSITY"
and "IT WILL WORK FOR YOU" and of course "JUST DO IT!" So I
just did it. Now Tony, I weigh 217 lbs. That's right, I lost
153 lbs.
Now I wear size 38 pants size 16 shirts and depending
on the style of T's and pull overs I wear a medium or large.
Oh, I forgot to tell you how tall I am, I'm 6'2". Enclosed you
will find some before and after photos, since the after photos
I have lost another 12 lbs.
Tony, I just wanted to take this space here to thank
you from the bottom of my heart. I feel like I almost know
you, spending all those hours working out with you and having
you there to motivate me when I felt like quitting. But you
installed a feeling of confidence in me that I could do
anything I put my mind to.
It's been the toughest eight months of my life, but the
most gratifying. My friends and my family can't believe how I
look and feel so I keep telling them about you and your work
out tapes. So again, Tony, I want to express my heart felt
thanks, love, and appreciation for you, your program of
working out and also Media Studio Group, Inc. for their part
also.
MY WIFE THANKS YOU, MY CHILDREN THANK YOU AND I THANK
YOU.
SINCERELY,
Paul
