Theresa Dakhil

I was born in New York but feel more like a Washington Native because my family moved here during my Elementary School years.

Marriage began with a 17-year stint living overseas, after which I moved back in 2000 to the Browns Point area of Washington State.

Bringing up four children kept me very busy, and even though I got regular exercise (I love running and working out in the gym), my weight crept up slowly to about 40 lbs more than my ideal weight. Like many people, I tried different weight loss diets, but any progress I made was quickly lost again as I either fell off the wagon or succumbed to cravings every time I lost a few lbs, losing the ground I gained during the diet.

Each would start off well, but my body's response to each diet changed as the diet progressed. At least, that is how it felt. It was a disappointing and frustrating experience. Then I was introduced to the hCG Weight Loss program by a girlfriend who herself had lost 25 lbs on the program, bringing her back to the weight she was at 20 years of age! Still, I did a lot of my own research before embarking on yet another weight loss adventure. And so, a number of us started on the hCG program at the same time, and each of us lost the weight we wanted to lose. It was an incredible success.

The next challenge was to keep the weight off, and it was about then that I learned how this revolutionary but simple weight loss program rewired the body to respond differently to calories. Instead of "going into famine mode" every time I managed my calories, my body instead dissolved a little more fat to get the energy it needed. This, I learned later, was why I had so much extra energy during and after the program.

Not only did I lose my 40 pounds, but so did all my other friends who joined me on the hCG Weight Loss program reach their target weight. Our collective experience convinced me and Tanya to go in partnership together and we started Belle-Petite. We distribute and support the hCG Weight Loss program through our SlenderYou™ brand.

hCG has been life changing for me! The way I look and feel is great. And to be able to help other people lose weight and feel good about themselves is very satisfying. I am glad I can share the benefits of the  diet with everyone I know!!!
