In the short amount of time I have been seeing Matt I have gained strength in my knees, my self-confidence has grown, and all the while my waist has started to shrink.
In December 2011 I began working out at Catalyst Fitness. I had made the decision to have gastric bypass surgery and my surgeon had several stipulations in agreeing to do the procedure. One of those was committing to working with a personal trainer 2-3 times/week. Starting out at 366 pounds at age 63 it seemed like an insurmountable challenge. But I followed through and am now seeing the results of that commitment. I have lost 142 pounds so far. My sleep apnea has disappeared and I no longer need a C-PAP machine. I have
