Trainer Notes

Working with Steve has been a wonderful experience. He's hardworking, dedicated and has become a good friend. And though Steve has always been a bigger guy, he has never let his weight stop him from doing the things he loves (hiking, camping, hunting, and spending time with his family). In the past 6 months, Steve has lost 37.5 pounds and 16.75 inches in his waist, hips and right thigh. He continues to improve and push himself, recognizing that this process isn't only about numbers, and embracing the little victories of clothes fitting looser. Just today, he received the news that his cholesterol has dramatically improved from 213 to 165. This puts Steve at a much lower risk of developing serious health problems.

What impresses me most about Steve is his openness and will to learn. He truly wants to change his life and he's willing to do the hard work to get there. His eating habits are much better, he's drinking more water, doing everything we suggest with conviction because he wants to and knows that each step he takes is leading him to the life he wants to lead. Last week Steve and I went out to dinner and though he could have made dozens of awful choices, he opted for a lighter meal. You CAN do it, Steve!
