"My Grandmother is my Angel on Earth.”

Lexie Kingsley had her fairytale happiness turn into devastating heartbreak when tragedy struck just months before her big wedding. This bride-to-be would set out to fulfil a loved one’s dying promise. Because she was a bigger girl, Lexie’s journey wasn’t easy. Yet Lexie did it, with the help of her “Flab Zapper.”
Listen to Lexie’s Inspiring Story:
Unlike most children, Lexie grew up never knowing her parents. Her mother sadly passed away giving birth to her and her father died from a road accident shortly after.
With no one left, all she had was her Grandma Delia, who loved and cared for her unconditionally. No one was more excited for the wedding of her dearest granddaughter.
"She said she would fight to live, so that she could be at my wedding and that her final wish was to see me in her old wedding dress.”
– Lexie Kingsley
However, just days after the wedding announcement, Grandma Delia suddenly collapsed in her home, and was rushed to the hospital.
The doctor’s news broke Lexie’s heart. Her grandmother was diagnosed with a terminal disease and she had only an estimated four months to live.
The wedding gown was a vintage English dress, first worn by Lexie’s great-grandmother on her own wedding day, and passed down to three generations of her family.
When Lexie looked at the dress, her heart broke into pieces. The dress was simply impossible to fit into Lexie’s plump frame.
Realizing she had only three months before the wedding, Lexie was determined to get fit again. She knew it would take discipline and hard work, but her promise to Grandma Delia meant the world to her.
Thus, she began a journey of exercising and healthy eating. But she failed to make much progress despite two months of hard work. A mere four pounds was all she could lose. Then her weight loss went stagnant.
With the wedding fast approaching, panic and frustration began setting in. Until Lexie got in touch with one of her childhood friends, whom had shaped up drastically since the years they’ve met.
Her friend told her about the appointment she had with Dr. Tessa Sullivan, a British physicist world-renowned for her dedication towards weight management research.
A Doctor’s Discovery Had Given Her New Life
Dr. Tessa Sullivan and her team spent years studying a breakthrough technology to help patients combat diseases that are linked to rapid mass gain like heart attack, diabetes and hypertension.
“After months of trials, 90% of our patients have slimmed down considerably.”
Lexie, whom two months ago had been plump and overweight, was now dropped 5 sizes and in incredibly great shape.
On her wedding day, her body fit into her grandmother’s wedding gown perfectly. Both Lexie and her grandmother wept tears of joy as they walked hand-in-hand across the church aisle. It was a moment both of them would cherish in their lifetimes.
Lexie was happy she managed to accomplish her grandmother’s wish.
“Wearing that dress is not just my grandmother’s wish. It is my family’s legacy.”

The Scientific Breakthrough
Wish I Had Done It Sooner
When Lexie tracked her progress month after month, she was astonished.
First, her jeans got looser and eventually she had to buy an entire new wardrobe because nothing fit her anymore.
Two words.
Life. Changing.
