Chronicles of Nicki's Weight Loss

Hi my name is Nicki and I would like to tell you about my amazing journey. I’m 57 years old and was extremely obese at 347 pounds and just 5 feet tall. Everyday, life was becoming a more difficult task. I was on 3 blood pressure medications along with cholesterol medication. Joint pain racked my knees and just walking to the kitchen was a major chore. I was constantly out of breath, and after dressing for work each day I felt like I’d already worked 8 hours. I finally made a commitment to myself to lose weight and now 2 years later I’m 162 pounds lighter…without surgery…or diet pills. I am a work in progress and still have 40 pounds to go. I plan to have cosmetic surgery to remove excess “stretched” skin after I complete my weight loss goal. I achieved this life changing experience through Physicians Choice for Weight Loss out of ReQuest Physical Therapy at Gainesville Health and Fitness Center. Through this unique program I learned a healthy way of eating nutritiously balanced meals along with a progressive exercise/activity program.
