Michael

Polinko,
age 50

Michael Polinko, of Waynesboro, Va., is a quality-assurance director for the Neuman Aluminum company, a manufacturer of metal slugs that are stamped into beer cans, lipstick tubes, and similarly shaped components of your everyday world. By night, he plays bass in the rock band Torque. But he's won fame in other ways, too.

At work one day nine years ago, Polinko felt a pain in his chest. "The safety guy took my blood pressure: 160/127," Polinko told me by email. "They sat me down for an hour. It didn't help, so I got an ambulance ride. After an EKG and a family history (my parents both died of heart problems before age 70), the doctor gave it to me straight. He said I had three options: 1) lose weight and get in shape with good nutrition and exercise, 2) start taking tons of medication, or 3) don't make any changes, but expect a serious stroke or heart attack before I hit 45."

 Sandra Gentry, of Abbottsford, British Columbia, lost 77 pounds with DietPower. After that, she achieved an athletic milestone and lost even more weight. Here are three e-mails describing her experience:

Seven months after discovering DietPower:

"I have been overweight for about 12 years. I've tried every diet on the market—Jenny Craig, Nutri/System (lost 80 pounds in 1989, but gained that back and more), Weight Watchers, etc.

"This past January I was surfing the Net looking for an answer to my weight-loss question: 'What am I going to try now?' I found a support group, and from that group I discovered DietPower.

"As soon as I downloaded the program, I knew this was going to be the answer. As of today, I've lost 77 pounds. I started off walking on a treadmill for 10 minutes a day, and slowly increased it. I am now in training for a 10K run next month. It's held every year in memory of Terry Fox, an amputee who attempted to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. I walk and run on the treadmill six or seven days a week. I also do weight training in my home five days a week.

"The biggest surprise is that I can eat almost anything I want (within reason) as long as I enter everything into DietPower. It's been so easy to do, I wish I had found the program sooner.

"I haven't had many bad moments or challenges. Don't get me wrong; I have had a few higher-calorie days, but I did more exercise the next day to try to make up for them.

"What I like about DietPower is that it keeps track of everything and is so easy to use. Every morning I plan my meals for the day and enter them into DietPower, and then I know how many calories I have left over for snacks, or even a glass of wine if desired.

"Now, two friends and I have developed our own Web page in hopes of helping other women lose weight. We tell everyone about DietPower!"

One Month Later

"Good news!

David Brown Weighs in on New DietPower


Your new version 4.4 ROCKS! This has probably been the best money I have ever spent on software. I really like the ability to log my meals for next day, adjusting items and portions to meet my goals. My coworkers tease me about all the Ziploc bags I pull out at lunchtime, but they can really see the weight coming off. I've lost 35 pounds so far. I can�t imagine doing this without DietPower.

12 Weeks


During a get-in-shape contest at Gold's Gym, I used your program to watch my diet. On January 15, I put in my current weight and set my goal for April 7. From then on, I religiously logged everything I ate, using DietPower, and kept to the program's suggested calorie intake. I also exercised and logged that as well.

At the end of this period, I have lost over 24 pounds, gone from 25.6-percent body fat to 15-percent, and lost six inches in my waist and four inches in my hips. I went from a tight size 36 pants to a loose size 32—all in 12 weeks.

I owe part of this transformation to DietPower. It made it very easy to manage my nutrition.

My wife used DietPower during this period, as well. She did not exercise at all and lost 30 pounds. I tell everyone about DietPower. It's great!
