Congratulations on been chosen as LIFE’s ‘Client of the Week’
Tell us a little about your backstory and what ultimately made you decide to come to Live in Fitness Retreat Center ? To Lose the weight.
Where are you from? Originally I’m from North Dakota but currently I live in Connecticut with my husband and three children.
What is your career? I work as a one on one mental health para in the local middle school.
When did you notice a weight pattern or change if it applies? I always have been on the heavier side but started really noticing after my first pregnancy. Then the pattern became I ate to relieve stress, to stay awake, when I was happy, when it was me time.
How did it make you feel/or affect your lifestyle? As my children got older I would get angry with myself because I didn’t have the energy, desire or flexibility to go out and play with them. This got me to come to your Retreat Center.
What were your biggest struggles? Breaking bad habits such as eating in front of the TV or eating late at night after kids we’re in bed.
Why did you choose LIFE Retreat Center ? I had been doing a medical weight loss program and had lost 34 pounds. It stopped working for me and while I was eating the same way I started to gain weight. I was getting extremely frustrated and knew I really needed to shake things up and start a exercise program.
What did you expect when coming here to LIFE Retreat Center ? I expected to learn how to do exercises correctly, how to build an exercise routine at home, and how to eat properly to support exercise and still lose weight.
How do you feel about your progress at our Retreat Center so far? I love my progress so far. I am starting to notice small changes in my arms and legs
What so far about the Retreat center program has worked for you? The schedule developed by the coaches and the meals prepared are working well.
What did you enjoy about the Retreat Center program? classes? lectures? staff? clients? I have liked all my classes! All the coaches are great to work with and very supportive . My two favorite things were the personal training sessions and the physio sessions I had. Both really helped me to work out more effectively and efficiently.
How has this Retreat Center changed your outlook on Life? I’m actually looking forward to returning home and getting into my own work out routine. I feel stronger mentally and know I will succeed because my husband and I did this together and we are both determined to make it work.
What advice would you give others contemplating attending the Retreat center program? This program is worth the time and effort. Do it if you are contemplating it! It is worth it.
What advise would you give to others? Quote? Statement? Motivation my mantra when I was doing the really tough stuff was “I can do it. I got this!” And it helped me. Find a quote or mantra and keep it in your head! Let’s go! You can do this. You can do it!
