Overweight and out of gas

Racing at Daytona

When my racing kart at stopped at Daytona International Speedway I knew it was time to lose weight. "What happened" my Dad asked "you were doing so well!" "Oh well" I replied "she ran out of gas". I didn't tell him I was 40 pounds overweight and that was why I ran out of gas.

 
That was it for me, even at 40 pounds over weight I knew that I had a shot at finishing that race in the top 5. But running out of gas on the second to last lap really hurt. Right then I decided to find a weight loss program that worked.

When I found Herbalife I thought this is it. Easy to do, even fun and very affordable. I followed their program for 6 months and lost that 40 extra pounds. The real kicker though is I figured that I saved about $300 on my food bill too.

Since then I maintain the weight loss with Herbalife's Total Control, Herbal Concentrate, LiftOff energy drink and of course the Multivitamin Complex. That was 2 years ago. In the time since then I have 10 top 5 finishes including 4 wins and 6 top 3 finishes.

This year I'm going back to Daytona to race my go-kart. You can bet I'll be prepared, weight wise that is!

[40 pounds lighter and a checkered flag!]

You guessed it. This year I finished my race at Daytona. Having lost 40 pounds made all the difference. Instead of running out of gas I saw the checkered flag.

So yes the the weight loss program paid off. Thank You Herbalife, I could not have done it without you (yeah right). But instead I used the ShapeWorks programs to lose over 40 pounds and keep it off.

The moral of this story is: Motivation to accomplish something is THE most important ingredient for success. My motivation to finish a race at Daytona lead me change my lifestyle and lose a lot of excess weight.

I am doubly pleased by this success. Not only did I finish my race, but the car was 3 seconds a lap faster, with the same motor.

Recommendation: Get motivated. If you have a reason to improve your lifestyle you are more likely to succeed at it. If you aren't motivated yet, find a reason. It can be easy to find a reason. Just ask yourself this "am I satisfied with my current lifestyle"?

If the answer is no, then ask yourself this "where do I want to be 1 year from now"? Then ask yourself "what lifestyle changes can I make to reach that goal?"

Then - in 1 year ask yourself this "Did I reach that goal I set 1 year ago or not"? If the answer to this is "yes" then it's:

I know what you mean. Racing is very weight specific sport. You need to watch your weight, keep your energy up and increase your stamina to stay at the top. I bet all those supplements really helped. Good luck at Daytona
