In the beginning of the year I saw myself creeping back up to one of my heaviest weight, 270lbs . This year I promised myself that I'd be in the best shape of my life, and quit making excuses. The coaches at Fitness Optimist have helped me do just that, and have even gotten me in better shape than I was during my days. Special thanks to the 6am workout crew @ the Laurel location for their continued support and encouraging words to help push through each workout. The best part is that this has brought awareness to many of my family/friends with their current health statuses and fitness goals. Many have decided to invest in themselves, and have signed up for upcoming challenges as well! I successfully completed two challenges and lost a total of 43 lbs from the program. Again, thanks FOTC!!! read more
