I’d love to have the DNA test to figure out a way to lose weight and become more active, what would work best for me. I’ve had a life-long problem with being overweight and wile I lost a lot of weight back in 1990 (110 lbs!), it wasn’t long after I got married in 1993 that I gained most of it back. Now, almost 20 years later, I’m still trying to lose and it’s getting more and more difficult. I now have type-2 diabetes and need to lose this weight.

As I posted on FB I would love to have a DNA test because I really know nothing about myself. I know that I have physical problems, but why? Why are my eyes green when everyone else in my family has blue? Why did I gain weight so fast and yet it’s taking forever for me to lose it? Why can’t I remember anything anymore when I used to remember everything?! I’d love to know where I come from, as far as who my ancestors were. I’ve been told many things, but sometimes it’s different than the last time. Why am I not allergic to anything, but the rest of my family is allergic to so many things? Am I allergic to things I just don’t know about? There are so many things I would love to know but can only find out through a DNA test. I think finding the answers to these questions would help me understand myself so much better.

Obsity runs in my family and I’ve been struggling with it since I had my second child. I would like to stop get off so many of my prescriptions and I know losing weight would be the key for me to do so.
I want to be around to see my kids grow up.

Although I have struggled off and on with weight loss most of life, I was able to lose weight fast, UNTIL I got diagnosed with cervical cancer and had to undergo a hysterectomy 2 years ago. Since then, I can not lose much weight at all – even with regular exercise and eating healthy. In fact, I have gained. I know hormones and menopause play a factor, however my hormones were already out of wack before the surgery, so a DNA test may be just exactly what I need to figure out what is going on. I am also curious as to how DNA would react to RIFE.

I have always wanted to get my DNA tested. I am fascinated by human genetics and how our genome affects our phenotype- does having a certain gene mean I definitely have that trait? Can I have that trait without having the gene? For example, I was born with blonde hair and blue eyes, and as an adult I now have green eyes and brown hair. What do my genes say I’m most likely to have? Also, I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life, heart disease and hypertension runs in my family, and my grandmother has Alzheimer’s- are my genes coding for risk for these things? I’d like to know so that I can be sure to start practicing lifestyle habits (diet, etc) that can help reduce what might be a genetic predisposition to these diseases.

I will love to have my DNA tested, because my father has Alzheimer’s and I want to know if I will likely to suffer the same illness, to plan in advance, therefore I do not leave to my family to take hard decisions. I could tell them in advance what I want, and how things could be handled. Also, my mother had breast cancer, and if I am going to have cancer or Alzheimer’s I will live my life to the max !!!!
not to worry about to saving money for when I retired!

I would love have my DNA tested and my sons. Myself for weightloss and medical issues. My dad and brother both passed away suddenly and I want to make sure I’m around for my family. I’d also love to help my son find his passion. He has a lot of social problems, he had an early speech delay and was recently diagnosed with Sensory Integration disorder. I would love to help him find his passion and find something he can really excel at.

I have been researching my family’s genealogy for about 30 years. I have always wanted my DNA analyzed for the various ethintisity making up my DNA. I’ve been watching the current PBS shoe on finding your roots which shows the various percentages of ethentisity of the weekly guest. I am on Social Security and have never been able to afford testing my DNA. I would love to win this contest so I could have this done. Tha

Well reading the above comments, we share this very same curiosity, hence ordered the DNA test kits for our family. Few days ago we received the results. The Geneometer visualization is brilliant – very simple and easy to understand. It was very interesting to see how specific genetic characteristics remains in the family i.e. found in our parents as well as our kids. It was fascinating to notice genetic improvements regarding specific tests for some of our kids (like the Sprinter test, and Height), and very practical and helpful in understanding some differences in lifestyle for some of us especially the Morning v.s. Night person test.., as well as “keep an eye on” for one of our kids regarding her Sight test. So bottom line having this personal experience – we highly recommend to have a look at “TheMakingsOfMe” website and see how these tests may improve your lifestyle as well.
