It isn’t often that I meet someone who has as much passion to help others get healthy as I do. Well as of this Fall I have met my match. Kimmy Beck is a personal trainor who lives in Montague PEI. Since her heaviest weight she has lost over 120 pounds by following a healthy diet and exercise program. After the birth of her second child in 2005 Kimmy knew she could “shape her weight”, http://www.shapeyourweigh.ca/
I met Kimmy
for the first time at an exercise class in Montague when I was asked to speak and share weight loss tips for the Vivacious weight loss group. Kimmy really picked my brain about food and after hearing her story first hand I knew our lives were supposed to cross paths.
Kimmy and I share similar stories. At our heaviest weights we were both in love with unhealthy food and lived unactive lifestyles. Convience snacks and fast food were staples in our diets. Dispite our insecurities we both knew we could change and had to. We are now obesity surviviours and dedicate our lives to helping others win the weight loss battle. Kimmy’s obesity pushed her to study to be a personal trainor where my battle pushed me to study nutrition. We’re like 2 organic garden fresh peas in a trimmed down low carbohydrate pod.
"My biggest motivation for losing weight and getting healthy was so that I could be active with my children. They mean the world to me! At 265 pounds I knew that was impossible so I decided I could change me.” This healthy attitude proved Kimmy well; she is now a fit and trim personal trainor and active healthy mother. She is a role model for all her clients and is on a quest to make Islanders fit and feeling fantastic!
After meeting Kimmy we became friends on facebook (so she could pick my brain more-lol). One day she sent me a link to her blog and I instantly became a fan. Kimmys blog is her accountability to being healthy. Being a technology junkie, Kimmys blog produces video and written content which aims to inspire and educate others on the road to better health. She loves sharing exercise tips, healthy recipes and personal weight struggle stories.
Kimmy openly admits that she is not a fan of cooking. I had the pleasure of sharing some of my cooking tips with her during an in office session, www.rachellewood.ca . Keeping it simple is the key to dietary success and with a few new ideas she’ll be able to shake up her routine eating style. Even though she has reached her goal weight, Kimmy still dedicates every day to being healthy and physically active. I encourge you to follow her success story and online blog faithfully, I’m her biggest… (I mean smallest) fan! Keep inspiring us Kimmy and best of luck with your future endevaours.
