Aaron’s Weight Loss Story!

When did you become unhappy with your weight?
I was overweight my whole life and decided to do something about it.

What made you decide to lose weight?
One day I decided I was tired of being fat and did something about it.

What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
Working out and watching what I ate.

What was most challenging about losing weight?
Getting my lazy butt off the couch and watching what I ate. It was normal for me not to workout and eat whatever I wanted because I did not care that I was big.

How long did it take you to start to see results?
It took a while. I lost 30 pounds in the first month but I was driven to see myself more fit so I put a mental block in my mind and did not begin to see results for about a month or so.

How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
6 months. I’m telling my story today (1/4/2011) and its been exactly six months.

How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?
I’m currently still losing weight. I have about 20 more pounds to go.

How has your life changed now that you’ve lost weight?
People who I have not seen in a while, do not recognize me when they first see me! I also feel like I get more respect because I’m not the “fat guy” anymore.

How did ShapeFit help you reach your weight loss goals?
I saw all of the on ShapeFit.com and it motivated me to keep going because there are other people out there doing it too.
