Carla's Weight Loss!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
July 15, 2003
What made you decide to lose weight?
I was tired of being fat. I just had a click one day, that the
only reason I was fat was because I ate too much of the wrong
foods and didn't move my hiney. I didn't want my children to grow
up and continue the "tradition" of becoming overweight
once you're married. That seemed to happen to everyone in my family.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
I started journaling my food intake and found a workout program
to get fit.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
Being from the south and everyone you know cooking fattening!
How long did it take you to start to see results?
I started seeing results within the first couple of weeks.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
17 months
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do
it?
I've maintained my loss for 17 months.
How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?
I am much more confident. I'm not ashamed to be seen in public.
I even coach my girls softball teams now! I have a new addiction...clothes
shopping!
How did ShapeFit help you reach your weight loss goals?
The articles had great information to help me in my journey.
