I was always overweight my entire life. I came from a home where butter and Pasta were our best friend. From the time I was in the 3rd grade I could always remember getting teased and taunted for being fat.
I got married when I was 24 and ballooned up to 300 lbs. And was able to maintain my weight by being a couch potato and eating bad. Finally when I was 32 I had enough!! My sister inlaw offered me a chance to join her gym, and let me tell you I was reluctant about it. No one my size was even within the halls of that place. I pushed through it anyway and worked out 2 hours a day 5 days a week, completley changed my diet and my way of thinking about food. Idid boxing mostly and strengthclasses, spinning on ocassion.
Throughout this whole thing of trying to finally lose the weight , I went through a divorce! I wasnt going to give up on me though. I ended up within one years time losing 120lbs and gaining a whole new me. In the next year I re married, changed my job, moved to another town where the gym is an hour away.. my life went into a complete Panic! ended up gaining 20 lbs back..
Finally I was watching fit tv one cold afternoon about a month ago. I was instantly inspired by cathe’s kick punch and crunch. So I went online and started shopping! I ended up getting about 7 of her dvds and have been mixing them up for the past couple weeks. I have lost 10 of my 20 lbs thus far and am stronger, happier and well on my way to being back in shape. I cant thank her enough because without seeing that I would have never got off my butt!!
