“What worked for me was finding what worked for me, not someone telling me what to do,” says Katelyn V. when asked how she successfully shed 51 pounds in nine months. “I used to hate running. So, I decided to see if I could run one mile without walking. As I kept doing it each time, I realized that I actually liked running and it was something I could push myself to do faster and further. Who knew I would ever like running...now, I can run six miles! Every morning, I get up before work and run, which I would have never imagined myself doing before [starting this journey]. Same with nutritional changes. I found protein shakes I liked and began having one every morning. Starting my day off with the right mindset every day has been crucial, and it worked for me because I liked the changes I made.”
