Congratulations to Patty Sanchez, NVC Business assistant bursar, she is one of the winners of the Alamo Colleges’ weight loss challenge. Over the course of several months, Patty lost 23 pounds and to date has lost an additional four pounds.
Patty said the district-wide challenge is just what she needed to get her motivated to lose weight. Patty said in hindsight she made her past efforts to difficult. This time, she exercised twice a week and made better food decisions. In her quest to find an exercise she likes, she found Zumba and got hooked!
