100 Pound Weight Loss Journey Diane Park
Check out the full episode here:
Diane’s weight loss journey started when she realized that 320 pounds wasn’t
what she wanted!
Her weight loss journey is filled with many road blocks. Diane’s biggest
inspiration as come from a combination of family, friends, her daughter and the
show The Biggest Loser! Being a single mother of a three year old has been
tough, but very rewarding for Diane.
Diane’s sister pushed her to start going to the gym four years ago, and
continued to push her harder on the treadmill. Running started to take over
Diane’s life, and sister was able to convince her to sign up for her first half
marathon! While training she has done two 5ks and has had much success doing
so.
Diane was originally nervous running outdoors, missing the comforts of the
indoor treadmill experience. But now she is growing more accustomed to running
out doors, and enjoying her new lifestyle! Diane has also had to deal with the
mental aspect of working out in front of others. Through all of that, she has
managed to stay focused on the positive things instead of the negative which has
helped push her forward on the path of her weight loss journey.
I grew up with Diane, she sat behind me in all of my home room classes from
seventh grade till graduation. I am so proud of her to make this transformation
for herself. I also want to say that I am very happy that it has allowed us to
reconnect after nearly 10 years of not seeing each other. It is great to see how
far she has come on her weight loss journey! Keep up the great work Diane!
I can’t say enough great things about how this show has opened doors for me to
communicate with people and reconnect with people from my past. As always, thank
you all for the support!
