Before I got pregnant the first time I weighed 140 lbs. at 5'6". With my first baby I gained close to 35 lbs. taking all the precautions necessary. Four months after the delivery, and at 153 lbs., I got pregnant again. This time I gained 43 lbs, although I was even more cautious in my food intake, and enrollment in pregnancy yoga classes. By the time of delivery I weighed 196 lbs.

I was really bothered by my weight, and I knew the only way I would be light on my feet again and as energetic as before, was to commit to an exercise program and a diet adjustment. Oh, yeah! Did I mention I wanted results fast and long lasting? Turns out, strength training, like weight lifting and resistant training has proven itself to be the answer.

Less than a year later, I weighed 140 lbs. again. But wait…I got more than just weight loss. My body is strong; I have active muscles in all parts of my body I have never had before. My flexibility improved, and my chronic knee pain is hardly ever a problem anymore. My metabolism has increased and so has my food intake. Of course not cookies and chocolate, but I haven't really eliminated them out of my diet either, and enjoy them in moderation. As I continue every week in my resistance training program, I feel stronger and leaner.

Overall, my body withstood a transformation from fat to fat-loss to muscle formation. Results Fitness and the wonderful group of trainers and staff helped me create a healthy body, mind, and psyche. The best part…I am a really energetic and a proud Mommy of a two and a one year old boys.
