"I had been struggling with weight for most of my life. For over 30 years I had done the “yo-yo dieting thing” only to continue to gain weight until I hit my highest weight ever.I had three very good reasons to lose weight.  My dad had his first heart attack at 51 and I was nearly 49.  I could no longer walk up or down stairs without hanging on to something and I did not want a knee operation.  The third was when I saw a picture of myself in Mexico in my bathing suit.   I could not believe it was me and I finally had my “ah-ha” moment.

I started working with Garnet in Feb 2011 and in only 1 year “we” accomplished amazing things.  Garnet is one of the most supportive and knowledgeable persons I know. He is very encouraging and made me want to help myself.  I started to enjoy exercise which is something I never thought would happen.  He also helped me with my diet plan.  He pushed me to work hard but it was totally worth it.  I lost over 90 lbs from my highest weight and about 10” from my chest, waist and hips and over 5” from each thigh.  I also lost more than half of my body’s fat mass and my BMI went from obese to normal.  I no longer take medications for a hiatus hernia or asthma.

In the past 4 years my life has changed drastically.  I have much more confidence in myself. Before I was overweight and unhealthy and I could not seem to get myself motivated to do anything.  Now I am much healthier and people have commented that I seem happier than I have in a very long time.   I have become a better person both mentally and physically. 

Yes, it is still a struggle to keep the weight off but with the constant help of Garnet, I have vowed to never go back to my old self.  It is totally worth the time and effort one needs to put in to stay healthy.  He told me that I am probably more fit than most 50 year old females and that makes me proud of what we have done.  "
