Tammy’s Story
My journey into weight-loss began 10 years ago when I took my daughter for her preschool screening. The teachers asked me to have a seat, and I looked around trying to seek out a big chair, but I was asked to sit in a little toddler chair. I felt very scared that when I sat I would break the chair! After leaving that screening, I went and joined a gym and have been into working out ever since.
I have lost a total of 116 pounds. It took me 10 months to lose 100 pounds. Through my years of living this healthy lifestyle, I have become a cardio kickboxing instructor and a personal trainer. My goal has been to inspire people and show people that I am living proof that weight-loss can be achieved by working out and proper nutrition. I enjoy teaching and training and love helping others get fit. —Tammy Schmidt
From being afraid of breaking chairs to probably being able to break bones, we’re impressed! Keep up the good work, Tammy, although it sounds (and looks!) like you’re doing just fine! —Erin
