up with her. So he would wait until dark and walk down to the corner and back. “I’d go up the stairs back into the house, and I’d sit there, but I felt like I’d accomplished something—a little bit, but something,” he says. The next day, he’d do it again. And each time, he’d make it a little farther. At the same time, he was watching what he ate. He quit eating out, and he began preparing food with Tammie’s supervision, so she could help him keep from sneaking extra bites. He was doing his best to keep his promise—and then he and Tammie discovered Melaleuca. “Our close friends from Florida called us up,” Tammie says. They wanted to tell us about Melaleuca. We trusted our friends enough that if they said it was good, we would give it a shot. And we loved it. It felt like Christmas came when we got our first order. We had fun trying all the different products.” Reading through the Melaleuca Country catalogue that came with their order, Tim found the Peak Performance Pack along with Attain, and Firbewise. He read some more about Peak Performance and Tammie watched the Learn to Earn videos. Finally, Tim told Tammie, “I’m going do this—just what it says for 30 days. “I started taking Peak Performance because I felt that’s what I needed,” he says. Tim coupled the products with his walking routine and his healthier diet— and began losing weight. In fact, over the two months that followed, he lost more than 60 pounds. “He came home one day,” Tammie recalls, “and said, ‘Would you like to go for a walk?’ And I said, ‘Would I? I’ve waited years for you to ask me that!’” With all that weight gone, his blood pressure and other numbers down, Tim was feeling better than he’d felt in years. He was feeling so good, in fact, that he started thinking about music again. “I started getting a will that I hadn’t had for a long time,” he says. “All of a sudden, I wanted to start playing music again.” At that point, he hadn’t picked up his guitar for almost 10 years. “But I got back
into the clothes that I wore years ago on stage,” Tim recalls, “and Tammie and I started playing music together again. I even had an old band call me and say, ‘Hey, let’s fire it back up.’” A standing ovation In two years, Tim lost a total of 150 pounds. Those are pounds he’s keeping off too. He says it’s easy to maintain his healthy weight management routine because of how good it makes him feel— all thanks to the Peak Performance Pack . And because he feels good, his life is coming back into tune. “I’m in two bands now,” he says, “and I’m having so much fun. I forgot what it was like to feel this way. “I firmly believe that when my body started getting the proper nutrition, it went back to healing itself. There’s no way I could have done that without Peak Performance .” Recently, Tim went back to visit the doctor. One of the nurses didn’t recognise him at first. When she did, she said, “I am so happy for you! You’ve added years to your life!” Tim laughed and told her, “Yes, and I’m adding life to my years as well!” “Melaleuca gave me my husband back,” says Tammie. “There’s no other way to put it.” One day, she was surprised when Tim came home with two brand- new bicycles. Two years ago, Tim couldn’t have lifted his leg over the bar. Now Tammie and Tim are going on bike rides together. “When you’re on stage and everything’s working properly and everybody’s in tune,” Tim says, “it’s unbeatable. There’s a feeling like you can’t imagine when everything’s flowing so well. It makes everything work better. You work better— and the crowd loves it. When everything’s in tune, that’s a standing ovation performance.”
