Hi Bob!

Here is my weight loss experience. Between 2003-2008, I gave birth to three precious boys. During those times, I was gaining weight on and off due to my pregnancies. When I moved to Minneapolis, I started running, but had some bad eating habits. I decided to run a half marathon to set a goal for myself. I trained alone and didn’t do any strength training. I ran my first half marathon in September of 2009. I finished at 2 hours and 22 minutes. I was losing very little weight and assumed I could eat what I wanted since I was running. I decided to join Weight Watchers in January of 2010. WW helped me focus on eating healthy and provided accountability. I started watching, “The Biggest Loser, ” and was motivated by it. I decided to try the BL Workout DVDS. I discovered that I really liked Bob’s approach on fitness and health. I continued to do the BL DVDS and looked for ones led by Bob. My first Bob Harper DVD was the, ” Inside Out Method/Strength Training.” It was at first very challenging and I didn’t finish the session. After a week of perseverance, I could keep up with the video.

My running partner and I decided to run a half-marathon. I kept doing the strength training DVDS and my friend noticed I was faster! She would tell me, “Those Bob videos must be working!” It motivated me even more since my friend was skinnier and taller! Then we ran our half marathon in September 2010. I finished at 2 hours, 10 minutes faster than my friend. I sincerely believe that the strength training DVD made my stronger and faster. I combined the strength training with my running during the week. After the marathon, I bought the Cardio DVD. It’s a challenging workout but very worthwhile. Since working out with the Bob Harper DVDS, I see how Bob wants every movement to have purpose. This year, I’m running my first full marathon and will continue to use these DVDS to make me stronger. I have lost 28 pounds and it has been a slow process, but I’ve kept it off. This is the first time in my life, where I have felt that I can push myself and feel confident that I can do anything! Since doing the DVDS, I feel like Bob Harper is my real trainer.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Verna

Different challenge today.  Your job is to inspire one friend who normally doesn’t work out to get them moving.  Pay it forward…  Good luck!
