In 1996 my wife, Tish, was introduced to Gwen Shamblin and Weigh Down by way of a Weigh Down class in Germany while we were visiting family overseas. Shortly thereafter, she joined an Exodus Out of Egypt class, bought The Weigh Down Diet book, lost 35 pounds and overcame a number of other strongholds. I then signed up for a class. Over the course of that seminar and the next few months, I lost 70 pounds off of my 5’11” frame!
