Elizabeth Shares Her Experience

For the past twelve years I have struggled to lose weight successfully. I have been on the field and ready to play the game of weight loss but never had a team or coach who inspired me on my quest for a winning mind, body, and soul. Then came along a great friend who recruited me to Healthy Inspirations. I joined the team with great anticipation and made the commitment knowing that if I followed their game plan perfectly I would be successful like so many others before me.

When I started in August 2002 I was so overwhelmed by the thought of losing the 120 pounds I made as a goal. At times I thought it was not possible. I did not know if I had the discipline in me. And all I kept thinking about was I cannot wait to just have that much weight off of my body. I knew I would be set free. The best part for me was that football season was right around the corner. My greatest passion is following the Ohio State Buckeyes. I gained a great deal of strength through football season and the counselors at Healthy Inspirations.

The team of counselors inspired me to begin with great optimism. As the weeks ticked by I have grown to depend on my special team of coaches at Healthy Inspirations both physically and mentally. They motivate me with the best tools to achieve weight loss. My food journal is a playbook of communication with my counselors. I religiously kept track of my food. I made the daily visits and workouts a priority. The first half of my new life style was smooth and simple. I have had many fans in the stands cheering me on my quest to be the best each and every day.

At the end of the 3rd quarter I encountered a great deal of interference. I have injuries resulting from a car accident I had at the end of April. My team of coaches has continued to support me through my healing form a pinched nerve and whiplash. I am now down 105 pounds and 43 inches. Healthy Inspirations has inspired me to not only work towards achieving my weight loss goal, but to work towards having the best possible percentage of body fat and BMI. They have changed how I look at my self as a healthy person. I now want more than just weight loss. One has to pay attention to the whole person and not just what is on the outside.

With all of the added stress from my accident, I have had a sense of calmness that I have not had before in my life. I know this results from the inspiration and motivation I have received from Healthy Inspirations. I view the slow track my body has taken as only a temporary interruption during the 4th quarter of my quest for a championship body, mind, and soul. If the Buckeyes can be champions so can I! Thanks HEALTHY INSPIRATIONS for inspiring me to never give up!
