Time for a Wake-up call
In 2019, I suffered a near-fatal pulmonary embolism. It was a direct result of me living a sedentary life and being so overweight. I remember during my hospitalization the doctor's repeated order was “Lose weight.” Yeah, yeah…I know. I tried. And I failed. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Eventually, I got up to 468 pounds. I was wearing a 4XL shirt and I had just started buying 5XL for more comfort. I would pretty much wear sweatpants all the time.
My wake-up call came in October 2019 when I went to my best friend’s wedding in Las Vegas. I was so big, I couldn’t even fit into a suit. Then someone posted some pictures of me from the wedding and I was mortified. When I saw myself in that picture, I knew I couldn’t live in denial any longer. Things had to change.
Finding Found
Come February 2020, after the holidays came and went, I decided it was time, but I was unsure of how to do it. Then, as if by some serendipitous happenstance, I saw an ad on Facebook for a clinical trial of Found’s weight loss program, highlighting that their science-based program considers not just diet and exercise, but biology, psychology, and medication.
It sounded simple enough and I loved the honesty. Found isn’t marketed as a miracle pill company and they don’t make outlandish claims. After spending so much money on fad-diet and miracle pill companies, I figured Found, with their straightforward messaging, was worth a shot.
Fast forward to November 2020, five months after starting with Found. I stepped on the scale and saw my weight at 398 pounds. About a year later, I had lost a total of 109 pounds with Found. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at the scale. These results filled me with hope and confidence.
So what is Found?
Found is a company that provides a service to help people gain control of their life and finally lose weight. It is a combination of prescribed medication (real medication, not herbal supplements), coaching, lifestyle support, and participation in the Found community. It is about setting realistic goals, putting yourself on the hook, and understanding that nothing is easy, but it can be easier.
Found is a membership program in which you get access to a medical professional who will review your initial questionnaire and determine if you qualify for medication. If you qualify, the doctor will determine which Rx best suits your need.
Two or three days later, your meds show up in the mail and you are ready to begin. Two weeks before your Rx is due to run out, you will receive a follow-up consultation questionnaire where you answer to any progress you have made, or if there have been any changes in your life such as new medications or health issues. From there, you will meet with the doctor again who will assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments. You also get matched with a health coach for one-on-one support so you can create lasting habits using Found's behavior change program.
How does it work?
How indeed. This is not a magic pill. If you want to lose weight you will have to eat better and move more. Take your medication every day as prescribed. Move a little more, eat a little less and you will start seeing results. I have mixed in movement with a lower-carb lifestyle and intermittent fasting. Doing this alone before barely worked. In combination with the Found program, it seems to be exactly what my specific biology needed to turn into a weight-loss machine.
Who is it for?
Found is for people like me. Those who have tried everything and haven’t found something that works. It is for people seeking to lose weight who are ready to commit to a long-term plan. It is for those frustrated with pills, potions, and promises that have offered the world but delivered minimal results. Although it’s not for everyone and not everyone will qualify. It’s refreshing to see a company that values the health and well-being of applicants more than profit enough to turn them away if they do not meet the criteria. Found is a different kind of company.
Wrapping Up
Found has truly been a lifesaver for me. I feel better both physically and mentally. I am down 100 pounds and counting. I haven’t taken any “after” pics, because I am still continuing my journey, but once I get to my goal of losing two hundred pounds that’s the first thing I’m doing!
I want to reemphasize that Found is an effective, affordable, and risk-free option to pursue if you’ve been struggling with weight loss and are looking to finally make that lifelong change. Take this short quiz today to learn how Found can help bring you the results you’re looking for.
