Melanie's Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
When I saw photos of me in Rome back in June, 2011.
What made you decide to lose weight?
I realized it wasn't acceptable anymore and it was ruining several
areas of my life. I was reluctant to go to barbecues and I lost
confidence in my work and love life.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
I increased my walking and kept a calorie counting book. I also
joined a gym and started doing classes.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
 Getting
frustrated at not seeing results soon enough.
How long did it take you to start to see results?
As soon as I started walking I saw results in my thighs, but
the rest was slower.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
6 months.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do
it?
Walking, Body Pump class, sit ups, free weights, etc.
How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?
I feel much more confident in social situations. I also feel
attractive again and I'm able to enjoy things now that I was not
able to before I became overweight, such as shopping for new clothes
and going to nightclubs, etc.
