Judy's Weight Loss Story!

When did you become unhappy with your weight?

I have been unhappy for a long time. When I finally lost the weight, I was so excited because I was finally able to walk into stores like the Loft and White House Black Market and buy "normal" clothing. I am within 7 pounds of being under 200!

What made you decide to lose weight?

I have always been on diets, and I also have metabolic issues. I actually found a nutritionist that helped me find the right supplements that work for my body.

What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?

I am very active and have tried stuff I never thought I could do. I workout with a personal trainer 2 times per week. I actually love working out!

What was most challenging about losing weight?

That I never lose it fast enough and that I have to constantly weigh everything I eat and eating out is not an option much because I can't control what is in my food.

How long did it take you to start to see results?

About 1 month because I was so heavy.

How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?

2 years as of March 27, 2012.

How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?

6 months so far and I am continuing to lose. I still have 60 pounds more that I want to lose.

How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?

I am not seen as invisible anymore. People treat me with more respect. I can't believe how many people judge you by how big you are.

How did ShapeFit help you reach your weight loss goals?

I enjoy ShapeFit's fitness tips and healthy recipes. I like that ShapeFit.com gives advice to people like me when I first started out.
