What Nattie N. has accomplished goes beyond the ordinary, it’s extraordinary. This 5-foot-3 Californian went from being an out-of-shape smoker who couldn’t even walk a few yards without losing her breath to becoming a breathtaking 108-pound marathon runner who’s now training to run the race of a lifetime.

It’s been nearly three years since this firm-and-fit-again athletic diva joined forces with eDiets.com and began her amazing transformation. Before turning to the leading on-line weight-loss center and dropping 26 pounds, the only place Nattie was running was in circles. She had never been able to make consistency and weight loss run on the same course. For her, it was the non-stop support available at eDiets.com that finally helped her get out of the on-again, off-again diet rut and start running towards consistent success .

“I have been below 118 pounds for over a year now. My favorite part of eDiets is the support. It’s what keeps me going. I found the Remarkable Runners and Go-Getters on the eDiets support groups. I saw how much they could run, and I just decided I’m going to run a marathon. No matter what it takes, I am going to run a marathon,” says Nattie.

The 30-year-old substitute teacher not only lost the excess weight, but she surpassed what she thought was possible. Her world has expanded in every direction. Her new talent as a runner has helped her come alive and discover her strength and determination.

“Since losing the weight I have gained a great deal of self confidence. The biggest change is being able to wear anything and not worry about looking fat. When I go shopping I can try on anything and it feels good that was one of the greatest changes."

"I’ve also increased my flexibility and I just have more energy, in general, for everything,” raves Nattie. “I met a crew of my teammates from the Remarkable Runners last October '04 in Connecticut, and we ran a marathon together. It was a group of 8 people and their significant others. It was quite fun. I can't say enough about the support. It has always been present and it's my favorite part of eDiets.com.”
