I lost 40 pounds over the course of 9 months and I have gained 10 pounds of lean and toned muscle.

3) How did Peak Physique help you meet your weight loss goal?

The coaches helped me with food and nutrition. They talked to me about Herbalife products that can help me reach my weight loss goals and keep getting stronger! Every session is different and great for all ages and fitness levels.

4) How often did you work out at Peak Physique?

I worked out 6 times per week.

5) What is your favorite form of exercise to do and why?

I like all types of fitness! I love to keep moving and stay active.

6) Have you had to deal with any injuries along the way?

I, personally, have never had an injury that prevented me from exercising. But, there are tons of people at Peak who come in with them. The coaches modify for all injuries to ensure everyone gets a great workout in!

7) What did you change in your diet?

I used to be a binge eater. I went 2 days with no food then I would eat anything in sight as well as drink tons of alcohol. My diet has completely changed! I now eat every two hours throughout the day, drink tons of water, and limit alcohol to very special occasions.

8) How did you manage to integrate this healthy lifestyle into your life?

It was a little tough at first. I had trouble meal prepping and making sure I was eating. Over time, with the constant help from Peak, I was able to integrate this lifestyle into my routine.

9) What is the biggest struggle: food, exercise, temptation?

Temptation. Most people aren't healthy, just by walking into a store you're instantly bombarded with cakes and treats.


10) What motivates you to continue with this lifestyle?

Just by looking back at my journey, I become filled with pride and passion to keep pushing on. I want to avoid health problems in the future.


11) What are your goals for the future?

Lift heavier weights!


12) What is your best piece of advice for those just starting their weight loss journey?

Don't give up, keep coming to the sessions, keep eating healthy, ask for help if you're losing motivation!!! The WORST thing you can do is give up because you're disappointing everyone who is rooting for you!
