Overweight 27 Year Old Atlanta Native Still Battling New Years Resolution

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 13, 2007 -- On January 1, 2007, former United States Marine, Tyeisha Humphrey went into Bally Total Fitness and came face-to-face with what neglect and an unhealthy lifestyle can do to the human body.

She was 167 pounds and she realized that she was in need of changing not only her appearance, but also her lifestyle. She began to think of short-cuts that could get her to her goals.

On January 11, 2007, Tyeisha attempted to join the U.S. National Guard, but was found to be overweight and medically unqualified. This was a major blow to her self esteem.

Tyeisha made it her mission to find a program that worked for her. Tyeisha entered several different fitness challenges and managed to shed a few pounds along the way.

She has since entered the EAS Body-For-Life Challenge and will be completing it on August 26, 2007.

Tyeisha has lost about 17 pounds in 2007 and plans to continue building muscle and losing bodyfat.

Tyeisha has come to understand that health and wellness is not just about weight loss, but also about what you gain in the process. Not just how much better you look on the outside, but also the pride you feel within.

Why would anyone make a goal of improving their health? Well, not only can regular physical activity improve your appearance, but it can also aid in the prevention of disease. And, of course if one person makes a decision to get in shape then that will also encourage someone else.
