I’ve been overweight my entire life.  I’ve done every diet in the book from the Atkins diet to Jenny Craig and it wasn’t until I met my 24 Hour Fitness trainer, Heather P., that I found that someone to support me, unlike other trainers I’ve had in the past.  I’ve always been one up for a good challenge, so when I found out about the Biggest Loser contest at the gym, I got involved.

Even though I didn’t win the contest I did come out a winner.  In 7 months I lost 68 pounds!  Despite gaining back 20 pounds due to an injury, I’m back on track again and am ready to lose those 20 and another 50 on top of that.  Since day one, Heather gave me her cell phone number.  I love the constant text updates.  She checks in seeing how I’m doing or how I’m recovering from my latest beating or just to talk about something I ate when she checked my Bodybugg food log.

The Bodybugg has been a huge part of my success as well.  I feel like it’s a personal challenge each day to burn more calories, or  take more steps than the day before.  It keeps me motivated.  It also helps when I set smaller goals or rewards for myself and it keeps me from feeling overwhelmed at the amount of weight I still need to lose.  

Lately I’ve been asked, what’s the “secret” to my amazing weight loss.  I reply with something they never want to hear… “DIET AND EXERCISE”.   It’s been a rough journey (and will continue to be I’m sure) but I feel everything is finally falling into place by losing weight the right way.  I’m looking forward to my new healthier life.  Thanks Heather!!!
