Here is the Brandi Parker Burn Bootcamp Huntersville Weight Loss Story in her own words….
“The first time I walked into BBC, I was embarrassed of myself because I was again the largest person in the room. I almost
turned around and walked out. Luckily for me, Devan caught me before I could leave. My weight has always been a constant struggle. I could never seem to get healthy eating and exercising in sync. By the time I came to BBC, I had pretty much given up on me and was to the point of thinking maybe I was meant to be overweight. It wasn’t like I hadn’t tried over and over again. But, I was tired of failing at every turn.
When Devan approached me about doing his Extreme Makeover – Burn Bootcamp Edition, I was skeptical. I didn’t believe what he told me. And, I didn’t believe in myself. But, I agreed, thinking to myself if I could just lose 60 lbs I would be ok. I was tired of being the heaviest person in the room, tired of being out of shape and exhausted, and simply tired of hating myself.
I did not believe that I had it in me to come as far as I have. Saying yes was the best decision I have ever made. I lost 60 lbs within the first 12 weeks! A total of 174 lbs gone in 12 months is unbelievable, and I still get a little shocked when I look in the mirror. I mean, who knew that I actually had collarbones! The physical changes are enormous. I am much more active now. Simply moving about is easier. I don’t get out of breath every time I move. I can take 5 flights of stairs up to my floor at work without stopping to breathe or rest. The first time I sat in an airplane seat and didn’t crowd the person beside me and was able to lock the seatbelt without having a belt extension, I almost cried like a baby.
For the first time ever, I have been able to wear size 14 pants. When you start at size 32 (sometimes larger), a size 14 is really good! I am no longer embarrassed of me. I don’t avoid the mirror anymore. I am much more confident. And, I like me again! I am very proud of myself for all that I have accomplished this past year. I feel like I can do just about anything now. BBC is not easy, and I still go home with muscles aching but it is worth every bit of the pain. I have decided that I am worth the time and energy it takes to get up at 4:30 every morning and come to BBC.”
