Wendy Kreiser hard at work
Wendy Kreiser, 25, of Streamwood, has three small children and wants to be able to participate fully in their lives, but feels limited by her weight, which was measured at 337 pounds.
“I feel like I’m cheating my children and husband,” Kreiser said in her application.
At the meeting with her trainer, Michelle Amsden, Kreiser admitted she is uncertain whether she can see the process through.
“I wonder if I can give it my all,” said Kreiser, who is 5 feet, 9 inches. “I know it is going to hurt.”
Kreiser said she has already started a workout program at the YMCA and has “cut out a lot of bad stuff already.”
Amsden said she was going to put Kreiser through “high intensity circuit training” to help Kreiser reach her goal.
“I’d like to be able to buckle my seat belt and ride bikes with my kids,” Kreiser said.
