Hi, my name is Marion and I want to share my story with you.  If you are like I used to be and you feel like you are struggling with your weight loss and fitness efforts, you have to try Fitness Together!

 All my life I have struggled with my weight.  I was at at my heaviest point in 2004 but after losing nearly 50 lbs on my own through proper nutrition, I hit a plateau. Then in March of 2009, I was diagnosed with Stage One Lymphoma and had to undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatments.  I thought the bright spot would be at least with cancer I would lose weight!  Well, the joke was on me.  I didn’t lose anything; in fact I gained a few pounds and there was nothing I could do about it Thank goodness though; I came through my treatments cancer free.  So, at the start of 2010 I decided I had been given my life back and it was time for me take control.  I couldn’t control whether or not I got my cancer back but I can control my weight.  This was very important to me since statistics show that obese people have a higher incidence of cancer.  I didn’t want to fall into this category any longer.  I had to make a change. That’s when I decided that I needed the help of a professional.

 I was introduced to Fitness Together at East Cobb by a friend who had great success with them.  From my initial meeting with Katie I knew that this was what I was looking for.  She was very patient and really understood what I was struggling with and she made feel at ease from the start.  I thought I would be embarrassed because I wasn’t in very good shape but everyone at FT really made me feel like I could do it.  Each and every member of the FT team has been sincere, supportive, and so knowledgeable.  I can honestly say I couldn’t have made it this far without them.  I owe them a great deal!

 I have lost over 40 pounds and reduced my body fat by 10.3%!  I have learned so much, made friends, and had so much fun in the process.  If you are reading this and think you need some help to get going on your fitness journey please give Fitness Together a try;  You will not find anyone better – I’m 100% sure of that!
