"1 year ago, I stepped way out of my comfort zone and tried something completely new and put my trust 100% into someone I just met (virtually).
At that point, I was down 47 pounds (in 2 years), but I wanted (and needed) to lose more. I met Mike at MG FitLife through my brother, Matt.
In a year working with Mike, I’ve lost over 20” between waist, hips and thighs and another 40 pounds. I started strength training and learning about nutrition - trust me, most people are not eating enough protein.
Today I hit my goal - but this wasn’t the initial goal. This became the goal once I hit the first one in December and then hit the second one in May - both numbers I didn’t think were possible. This became the goal once I realized what I was actually fully capable of.
I joke with my boys that I’m stronger than them and flex to get the ‘OMG Mom reaction and eye roll’, but hopefully they’ll remember more than that. I hope they have seen that it’s ok to step out of your comfort zone, try new things, struggle, put in the work, believe in yourself, struggle some more, but not to quit.
18 years ago, I had to go on medication for high blood pressure and was told I’d be on it forever. I’ve been off of it for 6 weeks. Due to family history, I may have to go back on it in the future, but for now I’m not. And that’s a win you can’t see on the scale or in the pics.
Thank you Mike, friends, family and especially [my husband] for being so supportive."
