Location: JFK Medical Center. Atlantis, FL Improvement: 25+ lbs Weight Loss Time: 3 Months Program: 2010 Total Transformation Challenge What was your biggest challenge ? Getting to the gym. Once I got to the gym I was motivated by Rami and my fellow employees and I was game. The affect was excitingly contagious. What motivated you to stay on course? The answer is obvious. My family history played a great part of my desire to keep fit and healthy. My father’s first heart attack was at 54 and he died of a major coronary at 64 years. Much motivation came from Rami and my fellow employees and my family. Having a group to compete with kept my adrenaline pumping and gave me great pride as each pound disappeared from my body and I became stronger. Also did not want to let the team down. Also watching the Biggest Looser If they can do it so can I. Did your diet change? If so how? I did it by sticking with a healthy diet and cutting out junk food. I now keep plenty of fruit and vegetables around for snacks and drinking more water and a lot less diet soda. What advice would you give others that want the same results? We are very fortunate to have Rami as our trainer and for JFK to encourage employees to establish a healthy lifestyles. You need that desire to “change.” PUSH YOURSELF. Go the extra 10 minutes on the treadmill, try the challenges. If I can do 50 crunches and wall squats with encouragement from Rami then anyone can. Keep a photo of yourself on the refrigerator as a reminder. How is this experience going to affect you going forward? It has had a positive effect. I must keep a strong focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and continue eating healthy. I have a new respect for myself and happy to be a good example to family and friends. |
