My YMCA Story
When I started this program I didn’t really
know how to set my goal. The only thing I knew is that I wanted to lose the
weight and lose it as soon as possible and I needed to lose the weight and keep
it off this time, in order to feel comfortable in my own skin again.
It has been a long time since I worked out
in a gym; I was always trying to lose weight the easy way. But what I learned was that I would lose
some weight but I would gain it back double so in order to lose it right and
keep it off I had to change the way I lose the weight, I had to work out and be
true to my exercise, The first thing I need to do was join the gym, then come
to the gym, so I joined the Jerry L. Garver YMCA. Once I started to come to the
gym I would use the machines and I thought that I was doing it right, failing
to realize that I need more than just the treadmill and bike, I needed to
change the food that I eat, the amount of food I eat, also I need a workout
program that would work out my whole body and add strength as well, It got to
the point that when I came in the gym I needed to do something, It just didn’t
feel right coming to the gym and doing thing so I started doing the group
classes then I started the Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge, once I started to do
the Challenge I attended the educational workshop class for the program, I meet
with the nutritionist. I started to see the change not much at first but other
people said that they see the weight falling off. That put a smile on my face,
overall I would recommend this program to all my friends not just for weight
loss but to get in shape and fit because health and fitness is very important
for a healthy life.
