Dear Mr. Brenner:               I first started Karate in May, because my children wanted the awesome red, white and blue star! By the end of the month, I was hooked. Everyone was so helpful and supportive in class. A month after I started I received an email from Action about nutrition, and that is when the light bulb came on. I started to follow the advice in the email, eating every 3-4 hrs and making smarter food choices. With the help and patience of Mr. Current, I began to lead a healthier lifestyle and the weight came off, so far, I have lost 87 lbs. In July, I started private lessons with Mr. Current and he has pushed me to accomplish things the old me never thought possible. I wanted to thank all the instructors and my classmates for all their help and encouragement during my journey to a new and healthier me. Having seen how much I have changed, several co-workers have started the same diet and have begun to exercise.  I started Karate for my kids and now, as a brown belt, I continue for me. I have learned a lesson all mothers should learn, sometime taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do for your family.
