We were working minimum wage jobs at a local casino. My weight was affecting every aspect of my life. We looked into gastric bypass surgery as the solution, but it was too expensive. David was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and dealing with huge daily blood sugar fluctuations. The monthly insulin and equipment costs averaged $800. We used to think we would be in debt forever and that being tired and feeling sad occasionally was just how we were supposed to feel.<\/p>\n<p>I sat down with Allan and Nicole Blain to learn more about NeoLife after asking about the NeoLife wrap on their car. They asked about my health and I could feel how much they cared, which was something I had never experienced. David and I experienced incredible results right away.<\/p>\n<p>We started sharing our results with NeoLife and encouraged our friends and family to join the Challenge with us. It felt good to help people with things we\u2019d struggled with. We want to continue to help our loved ones and teach them how they can help others.<\/p>\n<p>We never realized we could make a difference until NeoLife. We were lost and now we\u2019re found. We\u2019ve paid off our debt, we feel happy and confident, and we\u2019ve even become closer as a couple!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.neolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/fda.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4676\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4676 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/focus.neolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/fda.jpg\" alt=\"fda\" width=\"256\" height=\"25\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14223,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[97],"tags":[79,53,384,102,39,40,46,91,43,385],"class_list":["post-4792","success_stories","type-success_stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-success","tag-be-your-best","tag-business","tag-business-champions","tag-business-opportunity","tag-health","tag-neolife","tag-neolife-club","tag-neolife-promoter","tag-nutrition","tag-power-couple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NeoLife blog | Business Challenge Champions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"NeoLife: Business Challenge Champions, Shandell and David Thompson - \u201cBefore NeoLife we felt like we were stuck.
