One year ago Tonya kept asking me about a goal to set for myself. At this point in life I wasn’t very optimistic about achieving much. A year ago I texted Tonya and I said in “1 year I want to lose 40 pounds. I’ll be happy with 20 but let’s shoot for 40 pounds.” She was so happy that I set a goal for myself. It was the motivation I needed. I would check in every 3 months and the weight fell off. I was determined at first and saw how the weight fell off, but I continued to eat badly. I thought working out would make up for my poor eating choices. When it was about 2-3 weeks until my first weigh in I realized all my hard work disappeared. I had to re lose 10 pounds. I couldn’t let myself down especially on the first weigh in. I didn’t let myself down. We worked out consistently and I changed my eating patterns. 20 pounds came off like it was nothing and I was passing my goal. In January I decided to make a huge change and became a vegan. I needed to give up my favorite food, ice cream. It was easier than I thought. I continued to push myself and became stronger. I struggled to hit that 40 pound mark, but who doesn’t struggle. I felt like I was stuck on a 36-38 pound loss forever. When I finally hit my 40 pound weight loss months before my goal, I was so excited I could’ve cried. Today I am strong. I have lost 46.6 pounds and will continue to make a healthier life for myself. I went from barely fitting in a size 16 to being able to fit in a size 10. I wore xl clothes and can finally fit in mediums again. I have run a trail 5k and 2 more 5ks on top of that. I’m signed up for anothe
r 5k in October and I’m actually excited to run in it. If you told me one year ago that I could run without gasping for air constantly I wouldn’t believe you. If you told me that I could deadlift 195lbs I wouldn’t believe you. I am so happy with how much I have changed. I believe I am on the healthy path in life for the first time. I couldn’t thank Tonya enough for always pushing. Though I have been working side by side with Tonya, Dan has also encouraged me along the way. They are excellent coaches and have opened my eyes to a fit life. Every day is a new stepping stone on my path and I will forever be grateful.

After moving to Taunton I left a Crossfit gym that I had been at for several years, it had certainly been a comfort zone. Sheepdog has very quickly become a new type of comfort zone for me– the coaching is incredible, the workouts and the facility are ideal, and the community is unbelievable. From the minute I walked through the door it’s been nothing but support and motivation. Couldn’t be happier to be a member.
