I’ve always “yo-yo” around with my weight, at my fittest I was always “bigger” than most girls but it never bothered me. I felt good, I was healthy so size was just size to me. I get to the point where I’m rockin an Xl and I still felt good. The last few years, that’s spiraled down to rock bottom. Since I’ve packed on my freshman 15, I lost control over my weight and ive hit rock bottom. I got to the point of convincing myself that I still looked good even as I climb through the dress sizes…but then I knew I was letting myself go and that idea made me sick to my stomach. I needed to regain that control over my life, that its my body and only I can do something about it to make some changes and see results.

This years Easter morning at church, was a normal Easter morning, we were taking pictures as usual and someone commented and said ” man, you’ve gained sooo much weight” that was heart wrenching, I never wanted to hear it, but that was Gods way of pushing me over the edge to realize what I’ve become and slapped me with the reality of “is this what you want for your future?” Gods intervention couldn’t be anymore clearer, as Kristia messaged me on fb that night and began talking about regaining control back. My weight, my lifestyle, my eating habit, all of it. How did she know? I honestly have no idea, but that was a clear message to me that it was time to step up and do something about my weight.

I’ve followed Gods lead since, taking the plunge at the first step of being healthy. I’ve started with the beach body program and really dedicating myself to overhaul my image, from inside and out.  The way I looked, all the way to feeling good and knowing my investment now will pay off in the future when I’m healthy and live a long life with my future family, and my current friends and family. First 2 weeks, i had so much success! Lost 13 lbs, 10 inches all over!!! Now, I’m on my third week already struggling, but pressing on with accountability and support from Kristia/noexcuses challengeteam, friends and fam, and mostly my God who strengthens me day by day. This is my journey back to healthy, see you all at the top!

My name is Amy Folgate-Fager. Im from Forreston, Il. Before beginning my weight loss journey on January 5th 2013, I was experiencing a lot of health problems. For the first time in my life I had high blood pressure, I was pre diabetic, had a pre cancerous condition… BUT worst of all I was 301lbs!!!

I was always tired, struggling to feel good about myself, couldn’t keep up with my kids, especially my youngest who has Autism. My marriage was suffering, because deep down I felt like i wasn’t enough and something was missing. I have struggled with my appearance my whole life… Hiding behind EXCUSES, FEARS, and FOOD!!

Since I started my weight loss journey, and met Kristia Hord, my whole life has CHANGED!!

I discovered that I have the power to do anything I set my mind to. I have more energy, found strength i didn’t know I had, and my confidence has gone through the roof!! My health problems are no longer a problem. I can play with my kids, have time for my husband, and for the first time.. I really love myself!!

I’ve gained so much and what I’ve lost is 30lbs in 30days!!! Went from a 56″ waist to a 46″ waist, lost 6″ in my chest, 5″ in my hips and thighs, and a jean size!
But, what I love most of all are the new friendships I’ve made. Kristia has been so amazing in helping me. When no one else shows up, she’s there! Not only can i trust her with my weight loss goals, but also with my emotional and life goals. She’s a great coach, mentor, supporter, but most of all.. Friend!!!

She has helped me see my true beauty and potential. I look forward to every workout, because I know she will be there pushing me to try hard, do better, and go stronger, and cheering me on!!!
Whats most important is she has taught me I can achieve anything!!!

For anyone who’s ever said “I Can’t!” Im here to tell you.. YOU CAN, and Kristia will show you the way!!! I have come a long way and still have a long way to go, but with Kristia by my side… I know I AM going to make it!!! If you are ready to take your life back… Kristia is the coach for you!!!!! ~Amy F.
