Susan's struggle with being overweight left her feeling drained and emotionally exhausted. Her highest weight had occurred years ago at 230 pounds. When she arrived at The Plourdé Institute, although she had lost some weight, coming in at approximately 180 pounds at 5'1", she still felt very uncomfortable.

Susan didn't give up! She made the decision to move forward with The Plourdé Institute and adhere to the Plourdé Method and now feels stronger. Previously having knee pain and issues from arthritis, she is amazed that she is now able to run when she couldn't before. It was hard just doing daily activities but now is enjoying life to the fullest.

She's not done yet, she has an affirmation in her wallet to remind her of her journey thus far and the progress she still wants to make... "The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do."
