Samantha’s Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
After holiday pictures when visiting Florida.
What made you decide to lose weight?
Enough was enough, I was young and if I didn’t lose it now I never would!
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
A slow process, that was very important I knew in my mind I wouldn’t be able to sustain a diet without the foods I liked. Also cutting down on food intake.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
None. The diet I chose (and made up)was suitable for me.
How long did it take you to start to see results?
On the scale a month, in clothes 2 months.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
2 1/2 years.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?
My weight still keeps going down on average it goes down 2 lbs a month. I do it by eating every 2 hours a meal of 200 calories which can include a chocolate bar for a meal!! Why live without the things that taste good? Keeping it healthy doesn’t always mean that it has to taste bad.
How has your life changed now that you’ve lost weight?
I’m much more confident, always get praise from co-workers and I love the way I look in clothes. I’ve never in my life been a size 12.
How did ShapeFit help you reach your weight loss goals?
