“Being a family physician, I was fully aware of what it would take to live a healthy lifestyle. I am always being asked about how to lose weight, and improve one’s health, and of course, I always had an answer. But, unfortunately, it became apparent that my actions did not follow my words of advice, and I found myself overweight and out of shape at the age of 32. Who wants to be given advice from their family physician when he is unable to match his own words? This became very apparent in my practice, and yet, I wasn’t changing it. I was in a normal American rut, in that I thought I was not eating enough to be gaining weight, and I was even working out for what I thought at the time was enough. To my frustration, it wasn’t working, and instead my health gradually became worse, even to the point that my blood pressure was rising, and I was at a strong risk for becoming diabetic. That is, until I combined the benefits of the “Take Shape for Life” weight loss program, along with the encouragement and knowledge that Transformation Fitness and Wellness offered me with their exercise programs. In a matter of months, I lost 42 lbs., and improved my strength to that when I was in college. But, more importantly, I’ve gained my health back, learned what having true energy during the day was like, and overall feel better about myself. I could not have done this without becoming part of Transformation Fitness and Wellness, and for that, I thank them with all my heart. I now have normalized my blood pressure, am no longer at risk of diabetes, and only have one new problem that exists. I don’t have enough clothes that fit me any longer.”
