Accepting The Challenge To Change

ERROR!! That is what my scale said when I stepped on it. I was devastated. I read the instruction manual and the maximum weight for the scale was 330 pounds. How could it be that I weighed more than 330 pounds. So I searched for a scale with a 400 pound capacity. I ordered it and when it came in the mail, I ripped it open, placed it on the floor and stepped on it. I couldn't believe my eyes, 350 pounds (my max weight in January, 2008). My spirit was broken and my heart shattered, how could I let this happen. With those 350 pounds came low self esteem, emotional chaos, bad health and a suffering relationship.

Since I can remember I was always a "Big Girl". Throughout my school years I was known as "fatty" or "tons of fun". There were times when I would prepare myself for school by looking in the mirror or drawing a picture and calling myself names, in an effort to get as many tears out as possible, so that I would not cry when the name calling started. I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing my tears.

Time and time again I have tried to conquer the one thing I couldn't and that was my weight. Many of nights you could find me ordering a magic fat blocking pill or a series of workout videos or some fancy machine that gave you ripped abs, all money wasted. Nothing worked.

Then it happened, in September 2008, I hit a wall. After having my son in April 2008 and a maternity leave filled with eating just because I was bored, I weighed in at 302 pounds wearing a size 24/26. Yes, for years I had lost and gained and this is where I ended up. The moment had finally come, my mind, body and spirit all reached the pinnacle of being fed up! I wanted out of the 300's and bad. I was at a breaking point. I would avoid looking in any mirror, looking at my reflection, or even my shadow for that matter. I truly hated seeing myself.

My FBF Experience

After 10 weeks of adjusting my eating habits and following the FBF plan... I lost a total of 132 pounds and now wear a size 8/10

I can get into my skinny shorts again, and I feel great!

As the weight began to come off, I was so excited! Size 22, 20, 18, 16, 14…My passion for working out and eating healthier grew as I lost the pounds. The scale became my motivator instead of my enemy.


My husband supported me throughout my FBF experience by joining me in my quest for a more healthy and fit lifestyle.

In doing so, he was able to help himself and lost 80 pounds!

Our goal was to get back to our wedding day

My New Live

Now I am happier than I have ever been in my life, weighing in at 170 pounds. I have lost a total of 132 pounds and now wear a size 8/10. I can't believe it. I finally made it, not only to my goal but past my goal. The feeling is indescribable, being able to shop on the "other side" of the store. Then not being able to fit the smallest size of some of my old time favorite stores. My mind has not completely processed the fact that I am a new woman, with a new self esteem and not at all afraid to look in the mirror any more. After 10-15 years of struggling, I finally made it! If I can do it, anyone can do it.

My faith in God, focus, discipline, and commitment were all key elements in my journey to weight loss success. Not to mention the support of my awesome husband, who also followed the program and lost 80 pounds.


Katrin's Weight Loss Questions & Answers!

When did you become unhappy with your weight?

    I have been unhappy with my weight for approximately 11 years.
 What made you decide to lose weight?

    I have been trying to lose weight for 10 years. I finally hit a wall after I had my son and weighed more after my maternity leave than after I gave birth. It really hurt to gain more weight than when I was carrying my baby.


 What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?

    The most important change was that I was doing it for myself. Not for anyone else but myself. Also ensuring that I only kept healthy food in the house and FBF programm. Also being more disciplined and setting intermittent goals. I set 6 week goals so that I wouldn't be overwhelmed by the total amount that I was aiming to lose.

 What was most challenging about losing weight?

    The most challenging part was staying dedicated to eating right and working out through the holiday season especially. I have always started, worked out hard for weeks and then just stopped. However, pushing yourself to do it when you don't feel like it was the most challenging. Even when life events make you want to just stop and eat whatever, pushing through all those things is very hard.
 How long did it take you to start to see results?

    I started to see results within the first six weeks. I was able to lose 32 pounds the first 6 weeks because I stuck with it and ate vegetables, fruits and lean meats and worked out 5-7 days per week.

I hope this Programm help you to lose weight
