Person of Interest

Kathy Vladicka

As the year draws to an end, we would like to celebrate an amazing transformation of a warm and funny woman, whom we have grown very fond of.

Kathy Vladicka came to us in August 2013 with a weightloss goal of over 100lbs, although this seems daunting, she persevered and reached her goal in less than 8 months. This year was an eventful one for Kathy, while on her journey of self-improvement and discovery, she experienced profound loss. We admire her courage and emotional resilience. Kathy’s ability to manage adversity without resorting to destructive behavior is what will help her preserve the positive improvements she has made.

Although her weight loss was relatively quick and convenient on the Ideal Protein weight loss program, Kathy realized that in order to make a long term commitment to her health, she needed to change the way she felt about food. She has started the FitMetabolism program, and we love the insight and wisdom she provides to us coaches!

Kathy continues to be an inspiration to her co-workers and students with her determination, kindness, and forward thinking.

This year Kathy was honored with the APEGA Excellence in teaching Math and Science award, backpacked solo in the Rockies and discovered her inner dancer. We are eagerly anticipating the successes and adventures that are awaiting Kathy in 2015!
