Losing weight on your own is extremely challenging. In this clip, one of our non-surgical weight loss couples, Valetta and Allen, share the story of their weight loss journey as a couple and how it benefits them. While the support from Allen has made the weight loss process much easier for Valetta, his quality of life has also improved because he is healthier now than before.

VALETTA: I'm always a little hesitant to do things by myself, and as I have gone through other programs, was not completely successful. Allen solved that and he said, “I will go with you. I will help you.” And in the meantime, he found out that he was really gaining information, and energy, and weight loss with me, but I think he—we started out, he was there to support me.
ALLEN: And she needed this because in the past, like she said, whenever she would go through, she is not one to go out and do things on her own. And another thing is, we always do everything together. Whether we're in our yard working, in the house working, wherever we go, we're always together. If people sees us, if it's just one, they know, something’s wrong because we've always been that way since day one, and that’s the way we continue to be that way.
VALETTA: Definitely. Yes, because you're encouraging one another all the time, or if you start to eat something you should not, the other one is there to say, “Hum, better rethink that,” or encouraging to do the exercise, being more active. So yes, I think doing it together would be very helpful. I think the cardio is probably the most important for me.
ALLEN: I do, you know, the - - , the lifting weights, just more or less for the strengths. Through any of them, I don’t see anyone particular that I've - - one over the over, and which is the less or which one is the most. I just like to do them all and—because I used to do a lot of weight a long time ago that—to get away from it but yeah. But yes, it's been going back through just now, it's very helpful. I can see where my strength has just gotten much better.
