\"\"<\/p>\n

When exercise becomes a convenient habit, transformations become possible. In August 2019, Deborah, 40, of Inez, TX came back to work after a week off due to nerve damage in her back. The other waitresses in the restaurant where she worked had started a small weight loss challenge. The winner amongst them would get the prize pool from each person\u2019s $5 buy in plus a gift card for matching that total. It wasn\u2019t much, but Deborah figured what the heck\u2026and now her V Shred transformation is inspiring others!<\/p>\n

\u201cI put money in and signed up, but I was convinced I wouldn\u2019t lose weight so I just kept doing what I normally did.\u201d<\/em> she explained.<\/p>\n

After a couple weeks, as some of the other waitresses started to lose a few initial pounds Deborah saw a photo of herself and did not like what was looking back at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan was it an eye opener.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The very next day she signed up for a gym membership with a friend. As they both consistently went to the gym after dropping the kids off at school at eating healthier, she started to notice results.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin a month I lost 9 pounds! With the busy schedules of kids and work I didn\u2019t want to be stressed about work outs and food.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Finding Fat Loss Extreme for Women – Starting A V Shred Transformation<\/h2>\n

It was a good start, but as a busy working mother of 3, Deborah knew she needed something more straightforward and structured.<\/p>\n

\u201cI needed someone to tell me what workouts to do on what days, how many reps, when to rest, and FOR SURE what to eat. Counting macros was not in the cards for me and didn\u2019t have to be. With V Shred its all done for me and works. I love all of it!!\u201d<\/em> she described, looking back on her V Shred transformation.<\/p>\n

Deborah first got started with the Fat Loss Extreme for Her<\/a> program. Once she completed the initial 90 days she switched to the Ripped In 90 Days<\/a> program, and now does a regular combination of the two.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI was never involved in working out or eating healthy ever.\u201d<\/em> Deborah explained. \u201cAfter starting V Shred my body was constantly changing for the better and I now see muscles I didn\u2019t know I had! I keep going then pushing harder.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Throughout 2020 Deborah was able to continue her exercises at the gym, despite COVID closures in other parts of Texas. Her success inspired her to close in a patio at home, and like many, create her own home gym.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has everything I need except a stair stepper and a couple of leg machines.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the home gym and all of V Shred\u2019s programs, I have plenty to do. I also purchased V Shred’s MOVE Program<\/a> during quarantine! As far as nutrition, I kept making my meal plans [with my V Shred Trainer] and sticking with the diet. We have a garden to grow our own vegetables, have 10 chickens for fresh eggs, and a pond stocked with catfish and perch which are just now getting big enough to eat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Once her weight loss results were noticeable from diet and exercise alone Deborah started implementing SculptNation supplements to gain that extra edge on her already active day to day life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Sculpt Nation has their 40% off sales<\/a> I stock up 3-6 months in advance\u2026 My closet is kind of like a supplement store.\u201d<\/em> Deborah mused.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A True V Shred Transformation – From Tired & Injured to Proud & Self-Sufficient<\/h2>\n

From the support Deborah received from family and friends, she also had a bit of a wakeup call. Well past the initial challenge with coworkers, others were noticing her body composition change, her improved attitude, and her enthusiasm for helping others. As people started asking her questions, she knew helping others transform into happy and proud versions of themselves (like she had) was something she wanted to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom saw my weight loss and started training with me. She got down 30 pounds in 3 months! My 4 year old wants to eat what I eat so he can have muscles. My 13 year old loves going to the gym with me. My husband constantly tells me how proud of me he is. They\u2019ve all supported me 100%!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now Deborah is returning the favor!<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that I have been on this journey I know that I absolutely want to help people to hit their personal goals and feel happy and proud of themselves inside and out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Deborah has enrolled in the ACE personal training certification program. At age 40 with new goals and dreams she\u2019s working to become certified as a trainer, nutritionist, and youth fitness coach to help kids get on the right track early, as she now has been able to help her family do.<\/p>\n

This fall Deborah competed in an online competition to be featured on Ms Health And Fitness<\/a> and finished in the top 10!<\/p>\n

Giving Back Fitness Motivation<\/h2>\n

When Deborah was asked about how community plays a part in a fitness journey and her personal V Shred transformation she mentioned her success was all about the support she received. Motivating loved ones, professional guidance, and a community of like minded individuals help make personal transformations possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experience with Vshred has been life changing. When it comes to my fitness journey I am proud that I stuck to it even when I didn\u2019t want to. The Vshred for women Facebook page is amazing, all the support and transformation are awesome!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI never even thought of going to the gym and eating healthy, but now want to help others do it. If V Shred wouldn\u2019t have been such an amazing program I probably would have stopped a long time ago!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The V Shred Team is so proud of Deborah\u2019s journey and cannot wait to see her help others build active and healthy lifestyles. Her\u2019s is a unique, and lifelong journey. Shred on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
