104 POUNDS LIGHTER TOGETHER!
Before Coaching
After becoming parents, Erika's weight continued to creep upward. Chris had been ‘the pudgy kid’ all his life. At nearly 500 lbs together, they were experiencing many pains and taking too many medications to manage them. They were mostly sedentary with ingrained habits of overeating and nightly snacking and drinking.
Coaching Transformation
Together, they adopted a plant-centric diet, a daily walking habit, prioritized healthy home cooking, planed for healthy snacks and meals while traveling. Erika is determined to continue her progress through consistency and patience in her active lifestyle. Chris now weighs what he did when he graduated high school and recently purchased a slimmer wardrobe---happily donating his too-large clothes to charity. He said he's certain he'll never need them again.
“Coach Gayle is very supportive; not overwhelming or pushy. She provides helpful, timely and easy-to-follow suggestions that really made a difference in our transition to a healthier lifestyle.”
