Marla Hayes of Vermilion, OH, was tired of carrying 195 pounds on her five foot seven inch frame.

The 44-year old make-up technician and bookkeeper struggled with weight for 28 years, since having the first of her 2 children. But when it came to weight loss, Hayes admits she had always tried to “do it [diet] her way” – and without success. After friends talked her into entering an Anna Nicole ‘before’ and ‘after’ look-alike contest, Hayes said “I saw the [TRIMSPA] commercial and website.” The rest, as they say, is history.

Within a year of using TRIMSPA Energy, dieting, and exercising, Hayes’ Body Fat went from 37.7 on February 14, 2006 to 21.1 on January 14, 2007 . In short, her once 45 ½ inch hips became an average 37 inches. Now a size 6 and 59 pounds lighter, the 136 pound grandmother of 4 is feeling great and having the time of her life.

Hayes, more active than ever, volunteers her make-up services to shut-ins to bring beauty to those suffering from otherwise ugly diseases, such as cancer, restoring femininity to those with alopecia, and to stroke victims unable to put on their own make up. She is in a relationship with a “wonderful man” and, despite her own recent diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), she is embracing life to its fullest.

Hayes is excited that her weight loss has given her the stamina she needs to maintain the exercise regimen necessary for her MS.
