My friend Megan

Here is Megan today arriving to train me.

Megan and i have been friends since 2004.
I met Megan when she drove past our house, stopped and she introduced herself to my husband and i. We were new to the Gold Coast and and just brought a house in her street. Megan has a hubby Steve and 2 kids Aimee & Tom. Similar in ages to our 2 eldest. And they too had just moved to the Gold Coast a year earlier.
So we were now neighbours and started catching up a couple times a week so the kids could play.
Megan & Steve are from Canberra and country folk like us, are great people.
Megan and i started to walk together daily and have continued to do so until i recently moved into Broadbeach.
We both have struggled with our weight most of our lives and we both go UP & DOWN year in year out.
I joined Vision Personal Training at Burleigh Heads in Sept 2010. I started to drop weight straight away and Megan decided to join a month later. I lost 22 kilos in 4.5 months and Megan lost about 35kilos in that time.

This is Megan finishing a Full Triathlon Jan 2011 (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run)

This is me coming out of the swim leg doing the Enticer Triathlon in Jan 2011 (250m swim, 15km bike, 2.5km run)

I finished up at Vision and tried to go it alone but i have put back on 10 kilos in 12months. Megan has gone on to lose more and is still with Vision Personal Training Burleigh Heads. Megan wants to do a Personal Training course next year. I will no doubt be her first client (with friends discount i hope)
Megan has now lost over 55kilos. She was 120kilos and is now 64kilos. She has done extremely well.
BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO A BEAUTIFUL FRIEND

This is a clipping out of the local paper that Vision used showcasing Megan's success.

Megan and i still talk daily and she calls me at 530am and makes sure i get out of bed and go for a walk.
I found it way easier to get up if i knew someone was waiting for me. Even though Megan is walking the streets of Robina and i Broadbeach now.
We are going to make good use of the apartment gym while i am here, and Megan is coming in a few times a week to make sure i get a good training session. She has me on the bike, the rower, doing weights and than laps in the pool. We then chill out in the Steam room.  Exercise seems so much easier when you have a partner.
Megan is so inspirational and with her help my head is back in the right place again and with her encouragement we will be doing the Triathlon again in November.

Megan is a loyal friend and i am so grateful of that day that she put her head out of her car window and introduced herself to me. I am a better person for having Megan in my life. A friend i will cherish forever.

This is Megan & i at the Vision Xmas party 2010 with Scotty, Megan's trainer who supported her through her weight loss. They also completed the Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge last year together. It took them just over 24 hrs

 Here we are walking RAIN, HAIL OR SHINE. Nothing stopped us.

LOVE YOU GIRLFRIEND
