Testimonials

My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2004. For the next year and a half I concentrated on saving his life, but it was a battle he lost. During his end of life journey I not only was holding down a full time job, but also was his primary caregiver. God bless my employer that they allowed me to work from home in his last months. I had now become his 24/7 caregiver surviving on adrenaline & 3 hours sleep a night. He passed away on Nov 3, 2005 & now lives with our Lord, pain free at last.

Needles to say, it was stress that caused me to  being losing weight. When I’d dropped 20 pounds I started feeling good. I realized that my whole life was about to change in January 2006. How? I wasn’t quite sure. But I know one thing – I was feeling good. So, I started making a conscious effort tot work on continuing to lose weight. Sure , I’d always thought it would be good to join a gym, but the thought of going to a co-ed gym scared me to death! I started walking, but it was too easy to tell myself I was too tired or busy to walk today, so I’ll go tomorrow….

I’d heard about the “lady’s gyms,” checked them out & thought…. This might work! So I made a call, which ended up in a visit, to Ladies Workout Express (I chose them because their hours were more suitable to MY schedule & have been hooked ever since! I even found that a coworker went to the same location! Everyone at the Barre, Vermont location, staff & members, is SO friendly. I knew going in that all I had to do was go 3 times a week for a half hour. But, I made it a party of my daily routine & stop every night on my way home. I saw the pounds start melting off. Wow! WHY didn’t I start this years ago? I asked myself.
