Before and After; Teri Bohr

I got on the scale one day and it topped 190. That was a little too close to 200 for me. I knew I had to do something. I went in to see the folks at better bodies on Campbell and Ft. Lowell and started working out with Will. At my heaviest I was 192 pounds and I am now at 155 pounds. I am a 35 years old and 5' 7" tall.


One of the first things I learned was that working out was not enough. I needed to get healthy and start eating right. Sticking primarily to protein (chicken, beef, seafood and eggs) and vegetables and cutting out sugar, breads and starchy vegetables was the general idea. I stuck to the program and lost 30 pounds in about 6 months.


I was very happy with the weight loss and over time I started loosening up on my diet. A year and a half later I found that I had gained 15 pounds back! I knew I had to get back on track with my diet. I was still working out and Justin (manager) was sending out e-mails to keep in touch with the clients at the Campbell location. In one of these e-mails he told us about a 6-week contest for weight loss and overall change. It was perfect timing and great motivation to get me going again. In six weeks I lost 20 pounds (175 lbs at the start, 155 lbs at end), 14 inches and about 4% body fat. I am now at my lowest weight yet of 155 pounds.


Overall I lost 35 pounds, about 10% body fat and over 31 inches (10" in my waist and 6" in my hips!) since I started with Better Bodies. I did it by eating right, working out for an hour twice a week with Will and doing cardio on my own (about 3 hours a week). I feel great and I'm in better shape than I have been since I was in college.


Thanks to Justin and Will at Better Bodies Campbell location for keeping me going!
