Angela & Willie Gillis
What a difference two years can make! Angela and Willie Gillis of Beaumont, Texas are a perfect example of what it takes to make a change. Their journey started in 2011 when Angela realized that she was happy about everything in her life except her weight.
Meanwhile, her husband simply felt “tired of being big.”
Willie had been reading up for years about how to lose weight and decided to finally see if it would work for him too. They started going to the gym six times a week, starting off walking on the treadmill. When they started, Willie weighed 492 pounds while Angela weighed 338 pounds.
He ended up losing 300 pounds. Angela lost 200, went from a size 28 to a size 0 and now teaches classes at the gym.
