A wow moment
So I mentioned awhile back that I was asked by my gym to be part of their success wall & do a little write up about my experience. I will be turning this in tonight when I go to the gym. What do you think?
Starting weight before surgery: 305 lbs
Weight when I joined Womenfit: 240 lbs
Current weight: 155 lbs
After having Gastric Bypass weight loss surgery in November of 2005 & being released to regular exercise I was looking for a gym with lots of variety, where I would feel comfortable working on my goals. A friend invited me to join her in a belly dancing class at Womenfit where she was a member. I joined the class & started checking out the gym. After getting a 2 week trial pass and really seeing what a great place Womenfit was, I joined in March of 2006. By following my diet & nutrition guidelines, working out 3 – 4 times a week with cardio and weight training I was able to make it to my goal weight of 155 lbs in March of 2007. By continuing with these lifestyle changes I have been able to maintain my goal weight. There have been so many positives in my life since my journey started. I am more confident and outgoing; I have actually started to try out some of the classes here at Womenfit that I never had the nerve to try before. I am participating in groups outside the gym, at work & with peers, to work on having healthier life styles. I have so much more energy and feel great. I really enjoy the time I have to myself when I am working out and the knowledge that I am doing great things for my health.
