Weight Loss Before and After Photos

My name is Valerie. I am 28 years old and a very happy Lucille Roberts member!

Growing up I was always just a little bit bigger than my friends, but I don't think I would have ever been labeled "the fat one" of the group. I gained a few pounds throughout college as many people do, but it wasn't until a few years after graduation that I noticed my clothes fitting tighter and my face was getting rounder. I'm sorry, but one chin is enough! I had become "the fat girl" in all of my social circles.

After going on vacation a couple of years ago I was disgusted with every picture of myself. I was 26 years old and a size 14...almost a size 16. I felt unattractive and embarrassed. It was time for a change. I decided to change my eating habits and join a gym. I chose Lucille Roberts for its women's only membership, which lends to a comfortable and accepting environment. There are so many different types of classes and I love taking them all. The instructors were friendly and made the classes fun and exciting.

Within a year, I had lost 45 pounds and I had dropped down to a size 4 jeans.

I love shopping for clothes now! Friends actually joke that "poor Valerie can't find a size 4 in this store". I am that size 4 that I NEVER thought I would become. I feel more attractive now and am no longer the fat girl of the group.

Thanks to the continuous support from friends, family and Lucille Roberts, now, about a year and a half after being a size 14/16, I maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle( on my way to reaching my 50th pound!) I have gone from saying "I hate running, how can anyone do that for fun?" to actually running and completing a half marathon! I continue to work out at Lucille Roberts a few times a week and have 2 more races lined up! I have even motivated a couple of friends to join Lucille Roberts and work out with me. They love it too and we always look forward to meeting up at Lucille Roberts and work out together.

Thanks for all your help!
