January 14, 2013 – Barry W.
I started realizing that I was living a pretty unhealthy
lifestyle when I found out I was going to be dad in 2010. I had gained 20 lbs in 2 years mainly from
poor eating habits, no self discipline, and overall just tired from working so
much. I decided in September of 2010 to
take one thing at a time and quit smoking; I had already prepared for the
weight gain which is common when you do quit. Then in November 2010 I was injured at work. I was then stuck at a desk, and I started
packing on the pounds. I began eating
even more unhealthily, and became more sedentary than before. By January 2011 I had gone from 235lbs to
272lbs. I decided that I needed to do
something.
At that time my employer came up with a weight loss
challenge, and that was when I joined Snap. I started trying to eat healthier, but
not completely cutting out everyday foods. I slowly decreased the amount I ate, and
added the right foods in. I began using the elliptical, as I
couldn't lift any weight due to my injury. I figured something was better then nothing. In the 60 day challenge I lost 24 lbs.
I had my surgery, did my rehab, and wasn't really cleared to start
lifting weights until May of 2011. Then
I took off from there, trying to get to gym everyday; this was what I liked
about Snap. Its convenient hours allowed
me to go pretty much anytime I wanted, and worked around my ever changing
schedule. It is small and I like it that
way. Everyone here has the same goal,
and I have seen a lot of other members’ transformations since I’ve
been here. Now I am down to 208, and continue to make more improvements
everyday. It certainly has been a
challenge, but having SNAP has definitely made my goals easier to achieve.
