A local woman named Stacy Lane struggled with her weight for many years before deciding to take control of her health. After failed attempts at weight loss, she made a decision to have surgery almost nine years ago. At her heaviest, Stacy weighed 346 pounds, which led to health issues such as diabetes. She opted for a vertical sleeve gastrectomy to help with her weight loss journey.
After successfully losing the weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Stacy decided to start a nonprofit organization called Chosen by Fitness. This organization provides free personal training and nutritional guidance to those who are considered obese and unable to afford professional help. Stacy wanted to help others who were in a similar position as her and needed the support to make positive changes in their lives.
Stacy’s commitment to her health and weight loss journey resulted in significant improvements, including coming off high blood pressure medication, high cholesterol medication, and diabetic medication. She has successfully kept off more than 180 pounds for nearly nine years, showcasing the importance of lifestyle changes and healthy habits in maintaining weight loss.
Stacy emphasizes that it’s not just about shedding the pounds, but about feeling healthy and being the best version of oneself. She believes that once you reach a certain weight or size, the focus shifts towards overall well-being and feeling good in your own skin. Stacy’s journey and dedication to helping others through Chosen by Fitness serves as an inspiration for many people struggling with weight issues.
