Misty Dearing Age:  26 Occupation:  Territorial Sales Manager Starting weight:  224 Goal weight:  156 "I have lots of energy. It’s great!"

The contest was her initial motivation, but success now keeps Misty Dearing going toward her weight loss goal.

More than halfway to her 70-pound weight loss goal, Misty says she has more energy now and is feeling fantastic.

“I have been on so many other diets where I just felt sluggish all day. Not with the hCG. I have lots of energy. It’s great!”

Misty came to the Broadway Clinic right before Christmas and signed up for the Optilean Program. Now, a mere 10 weeks later, she has lost a grand total of 40 pounds. “I really was not expecting to lose this much this quickly, but I am definitely not complaining!” Misty laughs.

Looking back, she thinks going to the Broadway Clinic was the best Christmas present she could have given herself. Misty says sticking to the 500 calories every day is a challenge and she admits to cheating a few times. But she just picked herself up and picked back up – Just a bump in the road, no detour.

Misty says she is thrilled to be in the Biggest Loser Contest at the Broadway Clinic and vows to fight on!
