Success Story
Twelve weeks ago I joined the Lake Forest Biggest Loser Challenge with Pam Rumi. My girlfriend mentioned she was doing it and I thought, I’ll try it but let me tell you, I was not ready. I was not ready until I went to that first meeting. Knowing that I had to weigh in every week really made me feel accountable and I needed that. Another driving force was that my family has a big trip planned where we will be living at the beach or pool. I had to do something and being the mother of 3 girls, my two youngest are twins and will be two years old in May, I needed extra guidance, that extra push, the encouragement, motivation and the know how to lose the weight. In enters Pam….
The information Pam gives every week in class really made a difference in my weight loss. Each week was a topic like protein, sugar, fiber and I really thought I understood all those things but she really made me think about each one of those in my diet and how they affect my body. The first couple of weeks were challenging in trying to find the right foods for myself without going over my numbers, but eventually you figure it out and it’s fun and doable. I am understanding food in a whole new way that I never learned before through Weight Watchers. I have been a firm believer in brown rice and some organic stuff, even low sugar but she helps you to understand the “why’s”. The classes each week are great because I was able to listen to others talk about their struggles too and discover I wasn’t alone or hear of a new great way to increase protein or fiber.
For me, the most exciting thing that I learned from Pam, and I think this made all the difference in shaping my arms and legs, was jump roping! I have not even lifted weights and my arms are toned, shapely and smaller!!! Jumping rope is my new favorite thing…who knew! Now my husband and I do it together and he too has lost weight because of the changes we have made. Even my kids are begging me for protein shakes, something new I have added to my way of eating. That is what I like too, the education and healthy lifestyle I am giving to my family.
Another part of this experience I appreciated is how Pam taps into more than losing weight. She reminded me to take care of ME, to quit making excuses, to commit to yourself everyday why you are doing what you are doing and for each one of us it can be different. She herself has been down the road of yo-yo dieting, and being over weight, she gets it. Pam wants you to succeed and she will call you on something she see’s if it is hurting your weight loss goals. Someone once said, “I would rather suffer the disappointment of discipline than the disappointment of regret”, and I couldn’t agree more.
So, twelve weeks later, I lost 20 pounds and went down 2 sizes. My pants are literally sliding off my hips if my kids are pulling at them which they always are! The greatest thing for me is the feeling of being me…taking care of myself and doing something just for me. I feel great, sleep better, have more energy, and want to continue on this journey. My weight loss journey I plan to continue and my next goal is running a 10K with my sister, and father-in-law who is a marathon runner.
Thank you Pam for your knowledge, your time, your honesty!
