   Bill is active in outdoor sports, but not in regular exercise.So he joined a gym, which motivated him to go and work out.
   
   People come to me with different degrees of motivation.Some come only because their doctor sends them, others because their spouse wants them to lose weight.Success comes to those who are committed for themselves to make changes and improve their health.Bill was committed from the start.
   
   He was extremely diligent on his program.He drew charts of blood sugars on the computer, in technicolor.If his blood sugars were elevated or low he wanted to know why.
   
   Bill lost 20 pounds in about three months.It lowered his blood sugars enough to let him take just a little portion of the medication, if he needs it, depending upon his activity level.Some days he doesn't need any medication at all.That was Bill's goal, and he achieved it.

   Bill Asplund, owner of Asplund's Outdoor Sports, Wenatchee WA, found the entire Forum useful."It was helpful and well worth the money and time," he said.Asplund and his wife Janine drove 150 miles to attend the Forum."I found out a lot of things and a lot of my suspicions were confirmed.I don't feel like I'm the Lone Ranger out there.What I learned about direct mail helped me already.I canceled an ad I was going to have in our local newspaper, and instead I'm going to do a direct mailing to our customers."
