I\u2019d try to change my eating habits, but I was so used to what I was eating so I\u2019d do well one day and eat what I normally did a couple days, two or three days after that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ian:<\/strong> So nutrition planning definitely helped quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Absolutely. With this program, I dropped from about 270 down to 205. Then it fluctuated between 205 and 220 trying to maintain without any assistance.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m less winded, less tired, more active. Being in the military and playing sports your whole life, bad knees, all that weight coming off has really helped my knees. I\u2019m healthier.<\/p>\n<p>[Getting help from a fitness professional], you get what you pay for, bottom line. We always feel like we could do it on our own but the assistance from y\u2019all has just been phenomenal.<\/p>\n<p>You hold me to the fire, push me. It\u2019s my incentive. I don\u2019t want to fail. I don\u2019t want to fail anybody so I think it helps with the whole incentive, knowing that you have somebody else pushing you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our September 2015 client of the month, Dennis took advantage of the fitness center at work where New Wave Fitness provides on-site guidance in exercise and nutrition. &nbsp; Dennis: I was extremely overweight.
