Before

I stand before you as the “Biggest Loser”. Not because I lost the most weight or inches, but because I did not take full advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

People say, “Life is what happens when you are making other plans.” Well, isn’t that the truth! Unexpected travel occurred several times during the contest. Missing so many classes, as a result of that travel, made it difficult for me to completely follow my eating and exercise regimen. An excuse? Maybe. A fact, nevertheless.

That being said, I am pleased because I lost weight and inches. No longer do I cringe when I look into the mirror or try to get into clothes that once fit well. There are now muscles visible where previously there was only fat. It is good to feel strong again. After past travels, I often returned heavier. Now the scale is my friend. What a difference this program has made in my life. USA Elite Trainers gave me the tools to improve my nutrition, and an exercise plan to enhance my overall health. It is just a start, but I now know that I will reach my goal weight and do so in a healthy manner.

One of the most important things you can do for yourself when tackling weight loss at home, is to record your measurements. When you look in the mirror every day, the weight loss doesn’t really register. It is too easy to continue to see the heavy person who once stood in front of that mirror. At the end of your program, the inches you have lost will shock you, even though you know your clothes are fitting better.

Take advantage of using a trainer. You can never push yourself the way they can. They know your limits better than you do and can help you reach your weight and fitness goals faster than you will ever do on your own. One of the best benefits of this experience is getting to know so many remarkable and supportive people. What a pleasure to watch those who dedicated themselves to this adventure and to see their successes. I applaud each and every one of them.

To our fearless leaders (USA Elite Trainers) and Anytime Fitness, thank you for this opportunity, your concern and care that we succeed, and the knowledge you so willingly imparted. We will continue to reap the benefits for years to come.
