By: Terri Daigle

Before:
167 lbs

After:
135 lbs

Why I Got Started

I have always been an active person my activities included mostly running events. I have run 5k's thru marathons. I was having trouble with my knees so I took some time off and kept eating like I was working out.

Before I knew it I was 167lbs. I am a nurse so I know how important healthy habits are so I decided to have a goal.

I thought that I would try to get into shape and do a figure competition. The goal was to get out on stage in 5" heels (which I never have worn before) and a bathing suit in front of an audience.

My reward would be the final result. Being in shape. So, in September I started working out with a friend in her garage every morning at 4:30.

We then attended Jen Hendershott's Phat Camp in Atlanta - that's where we really got pumped up. In May the real dieting started for the competition.

Cardio 4 day's week for 30 minutes

My husband of 21 years, children (son 20 and daughter 18), family and friends were a tremendous support system and their enthusiasm is what kept me going.

It's amazing that when you do things that are healthy people watch. I have friends at work wanting to walk the stairs, drinking out of 1/2 gallon mini jugs. They are my inspiration.

My success was primarily based on my determination to be the best I could. What I got out of it was an example for others to want to live a healthy lifestyle and be active.

Advice To Others

My suggestion for others is to set many small goals that will take you to the ultimate goal. Reward yourself after you meet the small goal.

Surround yourself with others with the same type of goals and you will be successful. But most of all do it for yourself.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience with you. I hope that this includes all the information you needed.
