Nanuet, N.Y. (March 11, 2019) – Cathy Sweeney will be celebrating her sixtieth birthday in June. She suffered with arthritis for ten years. "I was obese in a wheel chair for 8 months and unable to walk. I was on all kinds of medications to combat the misery that I was in. I was borderline diabetic with high cholesterol" said Cathy Sweeney. Her health was in serious trouble. "I was unable to move around and walk, so the weight just piled on out of control and depression set in. I had no idea how to loose this weight" said Cathy Sweeney.

She went for a second opinion and was told that she needed a bilateral hip replacement right away. "I thought maybe some relief was in sight. I went into the hospital and they replaced both hips at the same time" said Cathy Sweeney. She weighed 273 pounds. "I was not happy being obese and being borderline diabetic with high cholesterol. I decided something needed to be done right away" said Cathy Sweeney.

For the first few months, I went 4 times a week. Now, I go 5 to 6 times a week.

My new body and new clothes that are beautiful and also feeling like a million bucks motivate me to continue with this lifestyle.


11) What are your goals for the future?

My goals are to stay on my high protein eating program and continue working out 4 to 5 times a week. I never want to be sick and obese ever again.
