I want to pass along a success story from one of my clients. Since this client does not know she is being commended; I will keep this an anonymous letter.

I have been looking over the past couple of months to spotlight someone’s hard work. While I have plenty of clients that have realized great gains in their efforts, this client has provided an exceptional example! I have been seeing this client for less than a year now, for twice a week, with no exceptions. This client has managed to lose over 20 pounds (maybe more at this point), drop over 4% in total body fat, and lose over 8 centimeters in my client’s waist/hip line! In addition, my client has begun taking an exhaustive cardio aerobics class, and has begun jogging. Over the weekend, my client ran in her first (of many) 5K races in support of breast cancer research. Not only did my client finish the race without stopping, but my client did so in less than 30 minutes, thereby easily finishing in the top 10!!!

Anyone who knows who I am talking about can vouch for my client’s everyday positive changes in activity level over the last year!

I am passing this success story along not only to give my client the praise so richly deserved for all this hard work, but to let everyone else know that it can be done. Everyone can affect these changes in their lives. It takes a lot of work, and might not provide the instant visual results one might hope for, but it can happen to you!
