April
13, 2003 was the day of my “rebirth”. I decided
that I was tired of wearing a size 20 pant and XXL blouses.
I knew something had to be done about the weight that my
5’11” inch frame was carrying. My top weight
was 228 lbs and I felt every bit of it, from rolling off
the couch to being out of breath with every step I took.
The cholesterol count in my body was over 300 and I was currently
taking medication to lower it.
My story starts a bit differently than people who started
coming to Ladies Workout Express. I began going to weight
watchers and started taking short walks. I was determined
to change my eating habits, which would in turn help me mentally
to be able to fight this disease of obesity. I continued
on my journey until October 2003, when my friends encouraged
me to check out Ladies Workout Express. I came in on a 1
week free trial, but only needed one time around the circuit
to realize that this is the place where I needed to be.
I started by coming to the gym 3 times a week. I enjoyed
it so much I incorporated it with my daily cardio of 4 mile
walks every day. I increased my attendance to 4 or 5 times
a week and started doing the “Extra Abdominal Equipment” that
is placed in the middle of the circuit circle.
The results have been absolutely tremendous! I have lost
a total of 81 lbs. (31 @ Ladies Workout Express) and 27 total
body inches. I have remarkable muscle definition and continue
to go at least 3 times a week. I now wear a size 6 pant and
medium blouses. I no longer take medication for Cholesterol,
and my number is down to 150.
I want to thank all the women at Ladies Workout Express
for their continued support. The encouragement received by
the staff is always appreciated! |
