Impressive Stats: (Weight loss, inches lost and
anything else you feel proud of sharing)
100 lb weight loss in total. 58 lbs
since August of 2006 with Fitness Together! I had hit a significant plateau for
six months after losing the initial 40 lbs on my own. Fitness Together broke
that plateau and it really started coming off quickly! I am down 16 dress sizes.
I am most proud to carry my "before" pictures (I never am without them)
to encourage others and show people it can be done.
Why did you decide to work out at Fitness Together?
I received a clever marketing
letter in the mail that really spoke to me personally. After meeting the FT owner,
Matt Thomas, I felt he could and would deliver the specific things the advertisement
promised. They promised to focus on my goals, to uncover what was important to
me and that I would be given accountability, encouragement and specific guidance
to ensure I met my goals. Clearly, they have delivered!
What factor has been the most helpful to you in achieving your goal?
Being
consistent. That means me and Fitness Together! Stay committed. Additionally,
I made some specific goals known (long and short term), put them in writing,
and my trainer Matt stayed actively involved with those goals.
What tips do you have for others working toward their goals?
Change your thinking
first! It’s a progression from, "I won't, I can't, I'd like to, I'll
try, I can, I WILL"! A positive resolve of I WILL is 100% of getting things
going and being determined to stay with it. Also, if you slip, it's just a slip!
Don't be cruel to yourself, just move forward!
What are some of your future fitness goals?
The cover of People Magazine-their
annual article Half Their Size so I can brag about Fitness Together. I will continue
my fitness and nutrition plan in order to lose an additional 40 lbs. and will
keep these exciting habits (yes they are exciting and yes, they are now habits)
for life!
The "yoyo" days are over!
