Julie led the State of Slim
pilot class from day one. In the first week she lost nearly ten pounds, and
remained the biggest loser every week for 16 weeks. She always said she just
followed the rules exactly, which, although true, downplays the amount of work
she put into adopting this new lifestyle. Throughout the 16 weeks, Julie served
as our leader and the person I strived to emulate. Beyond her positive attitude
and ability to juggle a change in an already busy life, her persistence to
succeed motivated all of us to aim for better and better results. All of us
here at Children’s Colorado are proud to call her one of our own.
Here is what Julie had to say about her journey:
“I continue to be amazed by
how utterly amazing the whole experience has been. I have done things I never
dreamed of when it comes to exercise; I’ve had more will power than I thought
possible; I’ve improved my state of mind along with my physical health and
appearance; and I’ve met some super cool people along the way who I now
consider friends! I can honestly say I haven’t felt this good in years! I’m
fitting into clothes that had been collecting dust in my closet for years just
waiting for me to lose the weight. And I’m not going to lie, it feels fantastic
when people comment on my weight loss and how ‘good’ I look! I feel a sense of
pride and accomplishment that had been smothered for quite some time!”
For the future, Julie aims to reach her goal weight and has found even more ways to incorporate exercise into her busy day. She continues to inspire employees with her success.
