Weight
loss is never easy. I should know! I'm a mother, a woman in her 30's,
and a woman diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Weight loss for me has been
hard since my thyroid conditioned was discovered 7 years ago. After
years of letting my condition go untreated I decided to get help. For
the past 4 years my thyroid medication has been helpful with my symptoms
but, not with my weight loss. That part had to come from me.
I won't lie to you losing the weight before the baby was hard but, now
that I'm a mother weight loss is even harder. Some of it has to do with
my hypothyroidism but, mostly it has to do with my time. Fitting in
work, motherhood, running my household, exercise, and being a wife into
24 hours is tough.
In the Spring of 2007, I decided to help out women in
my same situation. I wanted to help out busy mothers like myself and
women diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Letting women know they have
options for weight loss that didn't include dieting, starvation, diet
pills and excessive exercising is important to me.

For the last couple of years I have
been training at a facility in Kirkland. I decided to find a club
closer to home and am so glad that I did. I found Amanda through the
club and feel so fortunate. She is very knowledgeable, encouraging,
understanding yet firm. The workouts are always challenging and never
the same which keeps me interested. My arms have definition that they
haven’t had in along time. I look forward to my workouts with her and
am trying to find a way to add an additional day. Amanda, thanks for
motivating me!

Amanda makes working out fun! She
teaches you how to achieve your goals when you are working out on your
own. I thought having a personal trainer was too expensive. Amanda let
my friend and I share the cost which made it affordable for us. There
have been days that I really didn’t want to work out I went because I
made the appointment and when I was done with our session I was glad I
did. Working with Amanda has been a great for my self-esteem too; I
have done things in our workouts that I didn’t think I could do, or
would have even tried doing on my own.
