Kamari's Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
When I turned 20 years old, I realized my health was declining
and I was obese. I was at risk for type 2 diabetes and my clothes
didn't fit! I knew I needed a change.
What made you decide to lose weight?
When I realized I couldn't shop for cute clothes or walk up stairs
without breathing hard, I knew I needed to lose weight.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
I changed my diet dramatically by incorporating more healthy
foods, such as vegetables and fruits. I also made sure to include
exercise into my daily routine to maintain the weight loss.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
The biggest challenge was social gatherings. I am very sociable
and food is always around when I go out or spend time with family.
It was hard sometimes to avoid the delicious desserts and fried
foods.
How long did it take you to start to see results?
I saw results immediately. As soon as I started drinking more
water and doing moderate exercise and noticed I began to lose
inches.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
It took about a year and a half to lose 100 pounds.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do
it?
I have managed to maintain my weight loss during the course of
my transformation. I didn't gain any weight back or plateau.
How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?
I find myself always shopping for clothes, smiling more and paying
more attention to my health to ensure I stay healthy and on track!
How did ShapeFit help you reach your weight loss goals?
