Hi All! I have been absent from the forum for about 6 months coz I recently moved to AZ and left EVERYTHING IN NJ.
In 2000, I was a heavy and unhappy size 18. In March 2002, I motivated and started to start a workout and a feel better program. In the past, I worked out to Jane Fonda videos, the Firm, Tae Bo and some light weight training, all in the convenience of my home. I started to do 10 mins. of workout a day (I was really out of shape). After 2 weeks, I increased it to 15 min. a day, then after a week added on another 5 mins. for a total of 20 mins. and so on. After 3 months of working out, I was able to do the whole 30 mins. video. I was feeling better.
Sometime in June 2002, I discovered Cathe.com and ordered my first DVD workout the CTX Series. I struggled at first, but then just kept on trying, until one day, I did one workout and loved it. I got hooked.
I was a size 12 when I started with Cathe in June of 2002. I am presently a size 2 or 4 and can even fit into a 5 junior size.
I joined a gym here in Gilbert, AZ. This is my 1st time joining one, since I've always worked out at home.
I hired a personal trainer for 6 sessions (30 mins./session). This is the first time I got weighed, since I never weighed myself when I was heavy, I just measured and gauged my weight loss from my dress size. I showed my before picture to some people and they said that I looked like I was 230 lbs. and said that I look like a completely different person now. I look happy, glowing (is how some put it) and just full of energy.
I want to post my pictures, but still have to figure it out.
I want to thank CATHE and everyone in this forum for making me so motivated in making myself feel better. The physical aspect is nice but to me the psychological/emotional/mental is MORE REWARDING.
THANKS!!
Take care,
Nenette (npuzon)
