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!
If you're on the FASTer Way and ready to share your story, contact me to be on the show!

14: Keep Moving with Sabina Montemayor

Mobility is the joy of moving freely and easily. Healthy muscles, bones and joints allow us to perform all types of movements. Regular exercise, meaning a planned, structured and repetitive form of physical activity like weight training, is an easy way to increase your mobility and prevent falls.
So, the story in this episode focuses on mobility, because, when it comes to mobility, it’s "use it or lose it". And the FASTer Way provides strategic exercises for all levels with mobility and strength in mind so you can keep moving.
Topping at 293 pounds, Sabina Montemayor underwent gastric bypass surgery and lost 100 pounds. But because of her lack of knowledge of good nutrition and proper exercise, she quickly gained back half of what she lost. She joined the FASTer Way and worked with certified coach Le Bergin to learn a new way of eating and to incorporate regular exercise.
Now Sabina works out regularly and continues to eat the foods that are good for her…with the occasional margarita! And she is seeing a change in her body that’s beyond her size – it’s also improvement in her mobility and balance so she can enjoy her retirement – and new husband – for years to come.
