Kendra Mendez Lost 60 Pounds At Peak Physique

Kendra Mendez talks about her weight loss journey.

Nanuet, N.Y. (February 11, 2019) – Kendra Mendez has 2 children, 9 and 5 years old. After her youngest child was born, she struggled with postpartum depression. By the time her youngest child was a year old, she was the heaviest she had ever been, heavier than her highest pregnancy weight. "I was 200lbs, depressed and not enjoying these beautiful babies of mine. After years of being an empty shell and going through the motions of life, I made the decision to start rebuilding myself." said Kendra Mendez. After 9 months, she has lost 60lbs and over 15% body fat, but the best part of it all is her renewed happiness and stronger mindset.

4) How often did you work out at Peak Physique?
I get to a class 6-7 times a week

5) What is your favorite form of exercise to do and why?
I love boxing. It’s a total feel good experience. I sweat the most, push the hardest and something about hitting the bag is therapeutic. It’s my sanity.

6) Have you had to deal with any injuries along the way?
I’ve had many injuries along the way. Tendonitis in both elbows, a sprained ankle, achy knees and most recently a shoulder injury that is being treated.

7) What did you change in your diet?
I started eating MORE. Making better choices with the help and guidance of the coaches. And Herbalife has also been a game changer for me.

8) How did you manage to integrate this healthy lifestyle into your life?
Herbalife makes eating healthy and eating enough so easy. I am an on-the-go mom and business owner who doesn’t have much time to prepare healthy meals during the day. Herbalife takes me 60 seconds. And they are yummy.

9) What is the biggest struggle: food, exercise, temptation?
I love sweets. But I know if I stay away, I won’t crave them and fall down the rabbit hole. Exercise has become a passion of mine.

10) What motivates you to continue with this lifestyle?
You become addicted to the results and pushing yourself far beyond what your mind tells you can do. Its empowering to see the strength you have within.

11) What are your goals for the future?
My goal is no longer a number. I just want to be strong, mind, body and soul... And dedicated to my health.

12) What is your best piece of advice for those just starting their weight loss journey?
Just focus on one day at a time. Get yourself there. You will survive. You will walk out feeling amazing (and a little sweaty). The hard work you put in will motivate you stay on track outside of the gym... And be consistent and kind to yourself.


"I would like to thank Kendra Mendez for sharing her weight loss journey. I am currently on my weight loss journey, and started the Six Week Weight Loss Body Transformation Challenge at Peak Physique four weeks ago. I have lost 12lbs. I am so excited to finally meet my weight loss goals with the help of Steve and Eva Eckert, and the awesome coaches here. Kendra Mendez is a true success story and should be applauded for her transformation. She did it the old fashion way with hard work and good nutrition.
