Vita was always very active. As a child and during her teenage years, she played a lot of sports. She did not think of herself as overweight or think of weight as an issue because back then, it was not.

Vita’s family owns an Italian pizza shop. Saying no to that homemade, delicious food got harder as she got older.

She had her children young. By 25, she had her second child and had not gotten off the weight she had gained with the first. By this stage in her life, she was much less active. The stubborn pregnancy weight refused to budge. She was not sure what to do.

As a nurse on the night shift, she hardly got in any exercise. She also had an hour drive to work each way, which was more time to be sedentary. At one point, she started walking on the treadmill and eating healthier. She dropped a fair amount of weight and felt good.

Slowly the weight crept back on. Vita did not know where to turn.

Vita heard of Mind Body and Soul Fitness from some friends. She decided it was time to call.

50 pounds later, Vita has a new lease on life! She went from a size 16/18 to a size 6/8! The first few months, she just focused on the diet. Once she had that down, she added in exercise. She feels like she is finally the person she was meant to be.

As a nurse, Vita knows a lot about diabetes. She would inform her patients that insulin costs were $200/month – and that is with insurance! She could counsel others about the dangers of diabetes but she could not take care of herself to make sure she did not get the disease. That was before.

This is after. Stabilizing at a weight that she is comfortable with has been a game-changer for her.

Vita has learned how important it is to plan her meals. She also learned to rely on her personal weight loss coach. Vita is now a role-model for her family and is comfortable in her own skin. She feels good and she is proud of what she has accomplished.

Now she can go to her family restaurant and make smart choices. She can still be with everyone and enjoy the delicious food – just now she plans for it and enjoys it in moderation!
