Mary D’s Progress Report

Mary has lost 7 pounds and dropped 2% in BF in the last 6 weeks.  Here is her take on why this is happening:

“Last summer, I was drinking more than I should have, not taking care of myself and felt disgusting when my clothes were starting to fit tight. My weight felt like it had shot up.  It was time to join a gym, but after so many traditional gyms and personal training sessions that I failed at in the past, I knew that I wouldn’t last but a month. I remembered when Nick showed me the website for the IC; back then it looked intimidating because of my lack of natural athleticism, but I thought I’d give it a try.

I’ve been attending for 3 months now and was very pleased when I weighed in seven pounds lighter the other day. Wanting to get my time and money worth out of the IC experience, I knew I had to stop drinking so much and take better care of myself, and it has paid off.  I still really enjoy sugary cocktails, but have cut down on them considerably.  It’s very important for me to reach my goals with regard to weight and fitness, but now my focus is to be consistent in my attendance.  I’m glad to have this healthy outlet to relieve stress and feel better emotionally.

I have a long road to go before I can consider myself “fit,” but I’m not as conscious about weight loss as I am about just having a long-term healthy work out regimen.  Hopefully I’ll be one of those 70 year old women who can do pull-ups and run circles around her grand kids.”
