Carolyn Maddox has been active and involved in sports her whole life.  She has two children, and found it easy to get back in shape after having her first child.  However, after having her second, Carolyn found it much more difficult to lose weight.

Carolyn became so involved in their activities she did not realize that she was gaining weight. Once the kids were in school full time, Carolyn realized she had put on 30 pounds. Unhappy with her unnoticed weight gain, Carolyn decided that she needed to make a change and joined the Fitness Experts in Avon, Indiana.

In February, Fitness Experts had a “Biggest Winner” contest. The winner of the contest would receive a free mountain bike. Carolyn knew needed to take the next step in her weight loss, and the mountain bike was just the incentive that was going to push her to the next level.

During the contest, Carolyn continued on her exercise program, and cut out calories by eliminating sweets and high fat foods. She replaced these foods with healthier choices. She said the staff at Fitness Experts was very helpful and encouraging. They taught Carolyn how to keep a food journal and told her about different healthy food options. Carolyn learned about the importance of selecting beneficial foods and avoiding the foods that would not help her succeed.

Carolyn is happy to report that she won the Fitness Experts “Biggest Winner” contest. Due to her dedication and hard work, she is now the proud owner of a brand new mountain bike. Even though the contest is over, she is continuing to stick with her fitness program and has lost 22 pounds. She feels better, has more energy, and is excited about achieving her future fitness goals.
