Another Inspiration!
Before After
In Mary’s words:
In April I went to meet with Personal Trainer, Lynn Palmer, to see about making a change in my eating and exercising habits. When I signed on with Lynn to help me improve my health, I told her I would see her twice a week and come to the gym once a week on my own. As Lynn showed me new exercises and strength training and changed my eating habits, I started to see changes in myself. I started to go to the gym four to five times a week. I told Lynn I wanted to lose twenty pounds by my fiftieth birthday. She said we could do it and we did. When I reached that goal, I was so proud of myself and knew I could do better. When my final session with Lynn came, it was bittersweet. Lynn had changed my life. She encouraged me every time I was at the gym and she showed me how to eat better and not feel like I was depriving myself. If I felt discouraged by an exercise she encouraged me to keep trying and I did. When I started my personal training program I weighed 190 pounds. I now weigh 158 pounds, I’ve lost 10% body fat, I’ve lost 5.5 inches off my backside, and I’ve gone from a size 12 to a size 8. I want to thank Lynn, who without her encouragement and desire to see success, I wouldn’t look the way I do today.
