Teena Henson seems to have made drastic changes to her lifestyle recently, as well as her body. All of this was done without the use of traditional diets, which is somewhat unheard of. She always thinks back to when she wished for an Anytime Fitness in her hometown (which happens to be Gilmer, Texas).
In less than three years, Henson has lost 166 pounds, or 50% of her body weight. On March 8, she celebrated the three-year anniversary of her first step into Anytime Fitness.
Losing the weight has helped her find an inner strength. It allows her to see a glimpse of the strong, accomplished woman her mother always saw.
One of Henson’s passions has been participating in 5K walks for charity. Since she started working out three years ago, she has participated in five walks and recently finished one in 46 minutes, her personal best.
Henson’s transformation has been so complete that her doctor, who has been monitoring her progress since she started losing weight, uses her pictures to show patients what a little determination can do.
“The smallest of changes one can make in their present lifestyle can garner big changes,” Henson said, “not only in the physical body, but in the mind.”
