Weight Loss Surgery is Not the Only Answer

We all know losing weight is not easy –– but it was particularly hard for Cynthia, who suffered from feelings of hopelessness due to her weight and as her health started becoming an issue as well, she knew something had to give.

Eventually, I couldn't lose at all even with starving myself, I was stuck.” After countless diets and medical appointments, the word “surgery” started to pop up more and more.

Thanks to GOLO, I found my waistline!' - Rory Lee

I was booked on a TV commercial shoot for GOLO, with one of the production companies I work with. I had no idea what the product was or who the people coming into the makeup studio would be. As each person came in and sat down, I began hearing about the incredible transformations they had undergone! Their stories were so uplifting. Truly LIFE-CHANGING! Their confidence was boosted, and their health revolutionized! Some of these folks had gotten rid of half their body weight! This got my attention.

Guest Blog #8

Many people wonder if GOLO really works. I get it. You’re at the beginning and it sounds unrealistic. Or you’ve been working it for a month or two and are discouraged by weight fluctuation or weeks with weight gain. Lots of weight loss plans fail, and they’ve failed you before.
