I was nonexsistant

"In June 2019 I decided to start, my son was getting married so that was my motivation join Tall Trainer.

At that point I was nonexistent as a person - I was at the heaviest I’ve ever been in my entire life. I had given up because I was so heavy.  I felt like I was never going to be able to do it. 

I was almost embarrassed to come in. In my head I thought everyone was in good shape there. I didn’t want  to be measured and have to be accountable.

But, I just got to a point where I was like “I have to do this! I have to put all of that aside”.  The scariest day was the first day I started Tall Trainer.  I hadn’t stepped on a scale in I don’t know how long.  There was a lot of truths that day.  I had to face what I actually weighed and that was a big “smack”.

It was like “wow, I let myself go there". 

That was the LAST day I thought of it that way and decided to take off and have LOVED it!

In the beginning I had so much weight to lose I didn’t struggle because the weight was falling off so quickly.  I had a tool box that was given to me and set me up for success. The nutrition program, all the talks, and the personal phone videos sent to me on Fridays.   Everything was always put into place for my success.  It was me just putting in the work. It was easy in the beginning because the first four months I think I lost 16 pounds every month -so seeing and that was wonderful!  

When it started slowing down I had to come to terms with readjusting as my weight loss changed.  But along the way Jeremy was so good about showing me how to change according to my weight and what I needed to do with my nutrition.  I always felt like I had a cheerleader along the way and that was so important to me.

I have now lost 131 pounds and over 21 inches at my waist and hips.  That has been so fun!   I also love that I can see my collar bones again! 

I can run up steps now.  I work at an elementary school building and I go up lots of steps.  I remember having to stop and wait a minute to catch my breath and now I just glide. 

The feeling of “lightness” is my favorite part. I feel a bounce in my step, I don’t get as tired, I want to go for walks and go do something.  My whole family has changed.  Even my son has lost 75 pounds.

If you're someone new wanting to start, It’s NEVER too late. I’m in my 50s and I did this.  I wish I didn’t wait so long to do this.  GIVE IT A TRY.  It’s definitely worth it.  It doesn’t always feel like exercise.  This is fun.  I get up at 5 every morning and do this and I am not a morning person.  The rewards are defiantly worth the 5am wake up."
