Beaufort Fat Loss: “I used to weigh 80 pounds more…”

Let’s give a shoutout to Alyssa who lost 80 pounds of fat in 9 Months of training at EarthFIT. Keep going Alyssa!

Being healthy and fit isn’t a fad or a trend, it’s a lifestyle.

Alyssa said “I used to weigh 80 pounds more and they can’t believe that I did it. Well, How do you do that? Well, I came to EarthFIT… I never thought that this was anything that I could do, but now there is nothing there that I can’t do and I’ve done so much more than I ever thought I possibly could.”

“My daughter asked me when my mom died, if I was going to go to heaven soon too because I was unhealthy like my mom and I, I didn’t want her to be afraid that she was gonna lose me. Before EarthFIT, my life was very unhealthy and I was not very active and I spent a lot of time at home and not doing much. I wasn’t confident. I didn’t want to go out. I wasn’t social. I didn’t do a lot of interactive things with my kids and I just was kind of a homebody. My cholesterol is perfectly fine now. My inflammation levels are perfectly fine now. I’ve learned how to eat the right way and eat the right foods. And doing that I’ve also made my family healthy. My dad just came to me and he’s like, I don’t know how I did it, but I lost 12 pounds. 

I said this because you don’t eat junk anymore because I don’t eat junk and I cook food. So I’ve gotten everybody else in my family healthy along with me by what I’m doing. I’ve gotten strong and I’ve gotten healthy and people are watching me. And so, you know, every time I come to the gym, someone says to me, Oh my gosh, you look great, how are you doing it? And I always say I come regularly and I’m watching what I eat and I’m following a program and I’m doing things I’m supposed to be doing. And it’s, you can do it too. And people that don’t know how much I weigh before are shocked when I say I used to weigh 80 pounds more and they can’t believe that I did it. Well, How do you do that? Well, I came to EarthFIT. 

The biggest thing I was skeptical about is that I have never been a gym person. I have never, I’ve always been the overweight out of shape, just okay, I’ll run on a treadmill for 20 minutes and call it good kinda girl. Like I’m not weight lifting, I’m not an endurance, I’m not a fit person. So coming to EarthFIT and seeing what there is to do here, I didn’t think I could do it like there, it just was beyond my capabilities. So I was very, very hesitant and having several people I know come here and say, no, you can do it. Trust me, you can do it. Just go and have your assessment. Just go talk to Ian, talk to Whitney, the hardest part in the whole thing is getting in the door the first time because it is a scary thing to think about. But because I never thought that this was anything that I could do, but now there is nothing there that I can’t do and I’ve done so much more than I ever thought I possibly could. 

I would recommend it to everybody. Any age, any fitness level, any injury, any anything. I have referred to my friends that have had multiple back surgeries who are now working out here. And I’ve, you know, I’ve had people that don’t even live in the state come and follow you online and do programs that you have online. And I don’t think it matters if you’re 200 pounds overweight or 20 pounds overweight. I don’t think it matters if you have knee problems or back problems or shoulder problems or whatever I think there’s anything that anybody has, that could use an excuse. There’s no hurdle that you guys can’t work with.”
