Dropping Weight & Changing My Life

by Kathleen
(Massachusetts)

Over the past three years I gained 47 pounds. It feels like I woke up one morning and was so much heavier than I had ever imagined I could be.


It all started shortly after losing my job a month away from Christmas and my birthday. I was devastated! I had never not worked and now I was out of a job with no savings right before the holidays.

Because I was depressed, I kept eating and eating and eating. It made me feel better, happy. Next thing I knew, I was way over weight. I did some research online to try to find diet tips and workout videos. Going to the gym and risking been seen by people who knew me was the last thing I wanted to do.

I ended up reading some great reviews on a Jillian Michaels workout dvd so I ordered it. It was the absolute best thing I could have done for myself. Not only was the weight leaving my body quickly, but I was feeling better about myself. My confidence had never been so high and I was developing muscle tone and had never had defined muscles in my life!

I ended up losing all 47 pounds I had gained and an additional 21 pounds. If I hadn’t found this video, I probably wouldn’t have gotten the motivation to workout other wise. There was just no way I was going to go to the gym looking the way I did. I wasn’t happy with myself. Being able to workout in the comfort and privacy of my own home made me feel a lot less self-conscious. Jillian Michaels changed my life and I’m so grateful that videos like hers are available for home use.

Indeed, losing weight can change someone's life. People are happier and more productive if they lose weight. Some of them resort to a lap band surgery because the traditional ways don't work on their bodies. The results can be amazing if they reduce at the same time their food ration and change entirely their diet.

So the work out DVD worked very well so far i have seen in the above share. It's a good thing to practice all those workouts and i have read reviews about them so far. Even i put on weight sitting at home with no job. This story was just similar to mine. I would like to loose weight as early as possible.

"About 2 weeks ago I read all the ab strengthening stuff on your site because I decided I wanted to be strong, instead of having a lot of belly fat. So I started eating healthier, running, exercising, you name it - everything your site said to do to help. Now I am noticing a real difference! Thank you for making this. :D xD"

[This calorie calculator is] the most useful tool on the web that I can find… Also, I compared the calories calculated by your calculator to the calories calculated by the treadmill at my gym, and they're within a couple calories of each other, so yours is as accurate as we're going to get. REALLY AWESOME TOOL. I love it and depend on it. Thank you sooooo much for making this available."

Thank you very much, I was too lean before 2 years (55 Kgs), after the gym now I'm 72kgs, all the muscles have developed... when someone hand shakes with me it can be squeezed easily, they're making fun of me!
