Fat Loss Success Stories
I'm your host, Veronica Hugger, who at the age of 53 was ready to give up. I was living an unsustainable lifestyle of deprivation diets and endless exercise and not seeing the results I wanted or deserved. The strategy of "eat less" move more" was not working! By learning the FASTer Way of nutrition and fitness, I now live a 'healthstyle' which encourages me to eat right and motivates me to exercise efficiently. I eat more food now than ever! My FASTer Way coach continues to work with me so I have access to a personal trainer who manages my progress, answers my questions, and inspires me.
I was persuaded to try the FASTer Way after listening to stories from others who continue to succeed on the program. Over 440,000 people have gone through the FASTer Way starter program, so there are lots of success stories! On this podcast, you’ll hear conversational interviews with people with various relatable stories of struggle and success. And FASTer Way to Fat Loss Head Trainer, Le Bergin, helps explain the strategies of the program and offer helpful tips.
Just like someone else’s success story inspired me, sharing more success stories has the potential to encourage others to embrace and experience a healthier lifestyle…a “healthstyle”. And their shared stories will educate you, inspire you, and encourage you to accomplish your goals and to write your own Fat Loss Success Story!

10: Does It Matter? with Le and Me
Le Bergin now is a head trainer for the FASTer Way to Fat Loss. But before joining founder Amanda Tress and the team in Florida, she was my coach and guided me through my FASTer Way starter program. But I’ve known Le since 2010. She and her husband own Urban Fitness, my hometown gym in Galveston Texas, I've been in her HIIT kick classes for years. She is known in the community for her compassion, strength, and motivation and positivity. Her goal in life is to help people, and now as a faster way head trainer she is living her dream job. But like most people, she and I struggled with weight and other health issues, especially questioning what proper nutrition was and trying to find the way to exercise effectively and most efficiently.
Before she moved to Florida, Le and I were able to open up and share our stories of struggle, learn how and why we each decided to try the FASTer Way, and how now we are more in control of our health.
