"Recently I noticed that I have been gaining
weight and have been unable to take it off. I am the
only one in my family who had low blood pressure,
who has not had heart problems or a stroke, etc. But
recently I noticed that my blood pressure is constantly
going up and it is because of my weight gain and not
eating healthy. I need to stop the tend and guard
against those illness that I know my family is susceptible
to getting. I want to continue to be the best that
I can be."
Meet Lynn
"CityFit?
Is that the ability to walk from the courthouse to
“Pizza Girls” in under 10 minutes? If
not, a transformation of mind and body might be in
order. I am an Assistant State Attorney, Single Soccer
Mom (2 teenagers), and a cancer survivor. The world
views my as extremely energetic. However, my demanding
lifestyle sometimes leaves me exhausted. I need to
strengthen my inner and outer self, so that I can
enjoy the wonderful group of people that I work with,
my friends, and my fabulous children for years to
come. "
Meet Jody
"
It's funny how age and career have had a remodeling
effect on my physique. I often look in the mirror
and quickly look away because the mirror doesn't match
my memories of me! So getting CityFit would be similar
to removing the facade off of the city hall building.
Removing that old "wrap around" to expose
the original, architecture that was intended to be...
for City Hall and for me. Since the world is makeover
crazy, I'm ready for a crazy makover... It's time
to lose Fifty and Get CityFit with Frankel! :)"
Meet Dave
"I
am Synita A. Houston, of West Palm Beach. I am 5'3
and at a nightmare weight of 260lbs. I have tried
everything to lose weight. However this is a great
opportunity for me to take part in this with Mayor
Frankel. I have all the problems of obesity and have
fault with my weight all my life. I am willing and
need to change the habits which have haunted me for
some time.I need to lose at least 100lbs in order
to be better productive in my life and in my Work
arena. I really pray I am chosen to do this. "I
AM READY TO MAKE A CHANGE FOR GOOD" PLEASE HELP.............SIGN......It's
Time!!!"
Meet Synita
"Growing
up, I had the nickname “Girl with a Wooden Leg”
because I could eat anything and not gain a pound.
Not anymore…over the past two years I have gained
17 pounds to weigh 162! I am not obese, but I am like
many people who have 10 – 20 extra pounds and
don’t know how to get rid of them. Additionally,
as my husband and I plan to start a family, I need
to learn how to eat right (yes…I had cold pizza
for breakfast this morning – I need help). Please
choose me for CityFit and change my life! "
Meet Jennifer
"Top
Ten Reasons to be CityFit: To shed 35 pounds for a
"normal" BMI. To get off Tricor, for high
cholesterol. To finish the Nov.14th Marathon. My before
and after photos could make Ripley's. Just bought
Reeboks that I can't afford. With a club membership,
I'll run to, from, and during work. To inspire my
obese brother and sister. For New Year Resolutions,
got a wok, it cooks dust; got a scale, can't get it
any lower. I'm good copy...you'll get Rocky, Rudy,
Radio, and Forrest all-in-one. I'd be a Babe Magnet!"
