Samantha's Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
I had become unhappy with my weight at a young age. I never really
ever understood why I was bigger than most people my age.
What made you decide to lose weight?
I decided to lose weight because I was tired of complaining about
how unhappy I was about it. I decided it was worth going without
junk foods and lazy days for awhile, and I was right!
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
The eating habits and exercising were both obvious changes I
had to make. My portion sizes are now smaller, and I always take
the "healthier food choice" options every time I sit
for a meal.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
Eating smaller food portions and incorporating exercise in my
daily routine was very difficult for me for the first couple months.
It gets easier if you STICK TO IT! I always had to keep the long-term
goal in mind.
How long did it take you to start to see results?
I saw instant results on the scale, but started getting positive
comments and compliments about my weight loss after 3 months or
so.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
It's been 10 months since I've started my new lifestyle!
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do
it?
I started losing weight in November 2011, and I'm still going!
I plan on maintaining my weight until I croak!
How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?
I'm definitely a happier, healthier, and more positive person!
I enjoy new things in life that I used to hate, and I've learned
to grow comfortable in my own skin. I've learned that my health
is the most important asset in my life and I'm excited for the
future!
How did ShapeFit help you reach your weight loss goals?

loss success stories helped motivate me to get my butt
back on track! ShapeFit.com also helped inform me on a lot of
workouts and eating advice but the success stories are fabulous

a week. At home I use 10 pound free weights and elastic bands.

I love to jog now, and the elliptical machine is always nice
to do every so often. I also use workout videos (Billy Blanks
Tae Bo) at home when I want to target certain areas to exercise.
