"I have tried every diet in the book," says Marlene. "I am a nurse and know a fair bit about health, but I still was unable to get those extra pound to come off and stay off."
 
Marlene is a forty-eight year old wife, mother of three, and a part-time nurse. She's been battling with weight gain for the past ten years.
 
She joined a fitness center five years ago, but after six months of not seeing any great change, she decided to pack it in. "I always had the excuse of shift work and having three children made me tired and lacking of energy. How could I add more to the list of things that needed to be done in a busy household," Marlene rationalized.
 
"A few months ago, I developed plantar fascitis in one foot. I hobbled about for two months before seeking medical attention. A foot specialist eventually prescribed orthotics. Now that I had orthotics, I found a convenient reason to avoid resuming my walking program," commented Marlene.
 
"I had always had an excuse as to why I could not get out and move about. I also lacked energy and drive when it came to doing activities with my children. One day my daughter said to me, "Mom, you're falling apart!" What an observation for a sixteen year old girl! It made me think long and hard. My feelings and pride were hurt! Big time!
 
Marlene was at her wits end and felt very discouraged with the way she looked. With her husband's support, she decided to look into hiring a personal trainer. Marlene admits to feeling "timid" about the idea but placed her initial phone call. Her frustration was apparent during her initial consultation.
 
"I am so pleased with my decision. I enjoy going to One on One and I feel so much more energized and just an overall wellness." In the five weeks since she joined One on One, Marlene has lost twelve pounds.
 
With ten weeks to go in her program, she is well on her way to meeting her goal of thirty pounds lost. "The cardio six days per week and weight training three days per week at One on One is a program that is working well for me."
 
"A big thank you to all of your friendly staff and an especially big thanks to my trainer Aletha. I think she's GREAT!"

We’re weighing in, and it’s not always a good thing. When the scale says we haven’t lost weight, we cut calories.
