Fitspiration Friday… Congratulations to Jude U. who lost 104 lbs. in 16 months with 10 Rounds, LIIFT4, mbf, mbfa, 9 Week Control Freak, Country Heat, Ultimate Portion Fix, and Shakeology. “After surviving a stroke and a TIA, I lived in chronic pain, and I was bedridden about 98% of the time. I truly felt at that point I was just existing, not really living. Grateful I didn’t die, but not happy in life at all. I had gained over 100 pounds since the stroke – I’ll just say life was miserable. I told myself if I could just move and be active for 30 minutes a day no matter what then I would be giving myself a gift. At first I could do only five minutes at a time and then had to stop and restart but I was consistent. Eventually I was doing the 30 minutes and added a bit more. I loved it. I still have some chronic pain from the stroke but I put my health first and pushed through. I wanted to live and thrive! I wanted to be thankful to my body for what it had got me through. So, just that small step put me on the right road. … Well I have lost 104 pounds so far! I have lost over 90 inches too. I have lost 9 dress sizes!! From a size 24 pants to a size 8 and a size 3X top to a medium! I haven’t been a size 8 my entire adult life, and I’m 51 years old! My doctors are astounded at my progress! One of my daughters said through tears that she didn’t think she would have her mom back and now she does. Amazing. And it feels good when your hubby puts his arm around you, and it doesn’t get lost in a roll.” Way to go, Jude!!
