Vessell’s Fitness Complex
Success Story Of:
Vicki Harris

Goal Attained: Weight loss of 120 pounds

     Meet Vicki Harris, a 47-year-old grandmother.  Vicki works fulltime at Royal Canine and is an active member of Church of Christ.  It has been nearly 2 years since Vicki began making drastic changes to her lifestyle.  She knew she had health concerns with high blood pressure but when she passed-out from what was thought to be a stroke, she decided it was time to take charge of her health. 
     Vicki began by joining Weight Watchers, which met weekly for diet advice and encouragement.  One thing they promote is regular exercise.  Vicki had never been on a consistent exercise program but was invited by her friend Evelyn Waite to try Aquacize.  It was a new Vessell’s Fitness program led by Jenny Adams at Zeno’s pool.  The thing she enjoyed about this class “is that regardless of your physical condition, you can modify the intensity to suit your ability.”  She has faithfully continued her water class 3x per week and added one day a week of walking.
     Vicki celebrated this month (May 2006) attaining her original goal....to lose 120 pounds!  To keep her accountable, she will soon become the receptionist for her Weight Watchers’ program.  Vicki says that her greatest joy is spending active time playing with the grandkids.  Oh, and by the way, she no longer needs blood pressure medicine.  Now that is a testimony for proper diet and exercise.
Congratulations!
