The Fit Solution

Suzanne Testimonial

In 1990, I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. It is treated by a medication prednisone. One side effect of the medication is weight gain. My doctor told me I would need to exercise but I did not listen. When I was first diagnosed, I weighed 140 lbs., and he advised me to lose 10 lbs. My weight increased to 234 pounds and I am only 5ft. 4in.

In the fall of 2007, I decided to do something about my weight and I also wanted to fit in a black evening dress by the spring of 2008. One Sunday after church service there was a gentleman handing out flyers regarding a 12 week Fitness Challenge and the best part of it was that it was FREE! He asked me if I was up for a challenge. I remember telling him that I was the challenge. Little did I know that the person handing out the flyer was Yusef Battle, Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist (RCEP), Montgomery County Health Commissioner and the owner of “The Fit Solution.” Was GOD trying to tell me something?

So, on February 7, 2008, I decided to go to the fitness kickoff. I weighed in at 234 lbs. with a very high body fat index. The challenge consisted of one workshop per week (4 cooking/nutrition workshops and 6 exercise workshops) for 12-weeks. Neither of which I am accustomed to doing, but by the end of March I weighed in at 212 lbs and lost 2% body fat. I must admit that Yusef was able to get me moving and to give up my favorite vice (Coca Cola). Although I do drink plenty of water, Coke was my morning caffeine, my afternoon snack, and my evening cocktail. Even my family is amazed at how my eating habits have changed and the fact that I no longer have cravings for Cokes. My energy level has also increased significantly.

So if you are one of the many who have all kind of reasons for being sedentary, take the first step by trying “The Fit Solution” and you will learn to “Love Yourself, Take Care of Yourself®.” After all, I was trying not to spend money on a new dress.

Thank you Yusef.
