Weight Loss: 70lbs

This experience has been life altering and it goes way beyond losing weight. I know now for the future that if I face challenging times, I can work hard and achieve anything I set my mind to. I also know that the support of a strong mentor (Will and my mom) goes a long way to reaching your goals as well. This experience also created an even stronger bond between me and my mom. One day my mom invited me to go running with her – I said I cannot run. She said “you couldn’t run before but I bet you can now.”

That day, I surprised myself and ran 9km. I also surprised myself the other day and did some pull-ups unassisted. I guess my message here is “If you don’t try you might surprise yourself, if you don’t – you never will.” My mom has instilled in me the lifestyle goals of eating healthy, exercise and balancing your life. We did this competition in a really healthy manner. Our approach was sustainable. This coming year I have new goals to build more muscle and become even stronger. I know that I have the right support system with the staff at Movati.
