a size 18.

Joined a fitness club, hired a trainer and changed my diet.

Nothing has been a challenge! It has been a joy!

3 weeks into my fitness regimen I started to notice my clothing
was fitting better.

it?
I am still losing and still training three times a week with
a trainer and every other day I do cardio on my own.
How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?
I have waaaaaaaaaaaay more confidence. I am more outgoing and
have made many new friends because I am not afraid to approach
people any more.
How did ShapeFit help you reach your weight loss goals?
ShapeFit's weight
loss success stories are motivational. Their tips make sense
and they address the issues that I have personally given thought
too. I especially enjoy the ShapeFit weekly fitness
