In July 2008 I made a decision that has drastically changed my life. I was extremely overweight and absolutely miserable. I was so uncomfortable with myself that I didn’t even want to go out with my friends. With the help of a nutritionist, I changed my diet and started back at Weights for Women. I had been a member since 1996, but never really stuck to it. I started out doing anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half of cardio every night. I was going non-stop and within two months, I lost about 30 lbs. My weight loss slowed down, so I decided to give O15 a try to help pick it back up. I wasn’t sure if I could afford it at the time, but I decided to take the money I would have spent on eating out and put it towards my workout. Best money I have ever spent!
I started O15 training with Kim in late August. In the beginning, I could barely hold my legs up for one minute and was ready to give up because I thought the O15 workout was for people who were in better shape than me. However, Kim kept pushing me harder and harder each time and I stuck with it. I started doing less cardio and increased my O15 training to at least 3 nights a week. In October, I severed a nerve in my foot and was unable to do cardio for several weeks. However, O15 is so versatile that I was able to continue with the training. Without O15, I would have suffered a drastic setback in my goal to lose weight.
Within nine months, the O15 workout has helped me lose an additional 72 lbs and meet my first weight loss goal. I am now 102 lbs lighter and still continue to lose weight. This is one workout that never gets easy. If anything, it gets harder and feels even more productive each time you do it. I am confident that this workout will help me reach my second goal in no time.
