Shantea's Success Story
Aloha!!!
My name is Shantea Pierce I am the mother of 5 awesome kids four girls to
include 6year old twins, an 8 year old and 11year old with one 3year old baby
boy. Not to mention the wife to a rocking man. Before I had kids and even after
the first two I never really had weight issues I always breastfed and ate
moderately healthy and the weight would just come off I usually weighed
145-150lbs. Well after the twins I was stuck at 179-180lbs. Soon after having
Isaiah we moved to Hawaii and I was referred to stroller strides while on a
walk in the neighborhood. I
started out on the South side of the island in October of 2011, while my
husband was deployed. I weighed about 169-170lbs. Soon after he got back my attendance
started slipping, followed by my own health issues I quickly found myself
overwhelmed by life changes. One would be the move from Ewa Beach to Schofield.
Great move financially but I hated leaving the friends I had made. During the
move of 2012 and the holidays of that year I soon realized on December 27, 2012
the day after my husband deployed yet again, that I looked the way I
felt…heavy…I weighed 196lbs. So at the beginning of the new year as cliché as
it may sound I told myself that if I’m not happy with the way I look the only
one who could change it would be me. I decided to push myself and set no
limits. So I showed up to my first class at Schofield in the rain and worked
out. I haven’t stopped going since after my first two weeks the GFC was offered
and I looked at it as an opportunity to do just what I said I would push myself.
At the beginning I still weighed 196lbs my Chest 37.5 my waist 35, and my hips
43 inches. After running all those races and working out almost 6 times a week
for 8 weeks my results were: chest 35.5 waist 31. Hips, 40.5. And I weighed
168lbs. Since then I have done my first half marathon with a time of 2:19. I
now weigh 150lbs and I wear a size 3 pants I haven’t done that since before all
5 kids!!!! I have made awesome friends and have gained phenomenal confidence.
The change in me can be felt by anyone closest to me, my beautiful children, an
even my husband, he can feel the change through every phone call, and FaceTime,
and that means the world to me. My SS ohana from the South side to the North side
have made all the difference in my life and I will forever be grateful to these
powerful, encouraging, women I mean that from the bottom of my heart. These Fit
Moms truly ROCK!!!
