Tracy’s Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
When I saw my New Years Eve pictures and I was so large that my face almost took up the entire photo.
What made you decide to lose weight?
My sister told me to come to the gym and try it for 30 days to see if I would like it. I was also in a size 14 which was the largest I ever was.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
Health and my family.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
Going to the gym and doing exercise classes with all these fit people since I was so much bigger.
How long did it take you to start to see results?
4 months.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
9 months of losing the weight and a little over a year to start toning up what I had.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?
18 months.
How has your life changed now that you’ve lost weight?
I am more fit and I want to do more physical activities. I have done two mud runs, the Tough Mudder and a few 5K’s.
