Yet another amazing story comes out of Hard Work and Proper Nutrition. Then something completely unexpected happened.
This story is amazing yet very typical of what happens when great people make the tough decision to reach out and help others take control of their health and fitness. You know this because I've posted many stories similar this over the last couple of years. But this one has a twist.
Kaitlyn Smith, Portland, Tennessee native, made the decision to get healthy and lost an incredible 208 lbs! Here trainer, Kina Wald, a fellow Team Beachbody Coach, introduced Kailtyn to the various Beachbody workouts and the Healthiest Meal of the Day, Shakeology.
Kina started working with Kaitlyn Smith when she was just 17 years old. At that time Kailtyn weighed 414lbs. Together, they battled the weight with good old fashion hard work and great nutrition.
The dramatic weight loss left her with extra skin all over her body. So, Kaitlyn set up a crowdfunding site where people could donate to help her pay for the skin-removal surgery!
That's where this story shows the generosity of people in our time. A Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer saw Kaitlyn's story in People Magazine. He explained:
"It was late in the afternoon on Christmas, and my sister sent me a text message saying I should check out this story on PEOPLE.com. It really resonated with me. I do this type of pro bono thing at least once or twice a year, so I'm always looking for deserving and inspired people. [Smith] for sure fits the bill. It's a tremendous accomplishment for anybody to lose 200 lbs. – especially the way she did it, with diet and exercise."
The skin removal surgery will cost $50,000. Hats off to you Dr Salzhauer. You're top doc in my book.
This is a perfect example of people helping people. Team Beachbody Coaches Change Lives. And in some case, we save lives. We do what we do because most of us have transformed our own lives through the Beachbody Lifestyle, in home fitness programs, supplements and the Healthiest Meal of the Day - Shakeology.
We say it all in our mission statement:
