Rashonda, in her mid-20’s, was like many of us who wanted to lose weight: trying to fight the right and healthy way to do it that will actually last. So she went online and according to her profile, she got help from Fitness On Fire Online Training. It’s a site where they help women and men all over the country get the support and knowledge they need to lose weight.
Rashonda was at a starting weight of 204.8 pounds. But losing over 60 pounds, she’s at 141.2 pounds and counting.
In one of her videos, she spliced together an old video of her when she just started working out with a video of her now and begins to remember the “old” Rashonda.
“When I look back at that old video, I just feel like so embarrassed and it’s like what ‘was I doing to myself back then,'” remarks Rashonda. “But it doesn’t matter what I looked like back then, look at me now!”

“When I joined this program, I was just really tired. I just got tired of being big and the way I was feeling. I hated…
… going shopping because I could never find clothes that I wanted to wear…it was just too much.”
“I remember praying that ‘God, I cannot leave this year, the same way I came in.'”
“After I found out what I have to eat, this is what you can’t eat, this is what you gotta do…I was thinking, I’m not going to make it,” confessed Rashonda. “But I just set out to do it.”
“Not to say that every day I get it right or not every day I eat right, because some days I don’t to be honest with you. But that’s when you go to your team, they are supportive. And you are accountable to yourself and you are accountable to them.”
“My vitamin D was down before I started. I used to be bloated all the time. I used to feel miserable after I ate. But now my health is so much better. I used to take Vitamin D supplements, but now I don’t. I’m able to speak well and not be winded…I have more confidence in myself and who I am.”
Way to go Rashonda! Keep up the amazing work!
