Our Story

ZERO – ZERO – START!

Our journey began September 17, 2017.

Josh weighed in at 305 pounds and Stephanie at 257.

“Are you going to be content with being in your pit, or are you going to do something to get out of it?”

When faced with that question, Josh knew it was time for change! Immediately we engaged in a new, simple diet plan of counting calories. One month later, looking for an activity to do together, we found Pickleball! 

The instant intrigue with the game – and the determination to find an activity to burn the excess weight – outweighed the physical limitations caused by years of living an introverted lifestyle. Our purpose quickly shifted from playing Pickleball to lose weight, to losing weight so we could play better Pickleball! Several years later, the passion for the game is stronger than ever. Pickleball has changed our lives, as well as the lives of our children and extended family. Our hope now is that our story will inspire others to begin their own journey toward the best, healthiest years of their lives! 

Are you ready to begin your own journey of life-change? Need ideas to get started - or encouragement to finish the race strong? We’d love to hear your story and share how a simple diet plan and Pickleball resulted in a combined 225 pound weight loss.
