Together Kristy and Alvan Duckworth have shed about 140 pounds, gotten high blood pressure and other health issues under control and say they are feeling better and more energized than ever.

But just a couple of years ago, that was not the case. They were overweight and were each facing the health consequences that often come with carrying around those extra pounds.

The focus of the Duckworths lives had quickly turned to caring for their son, Andrew, 5, when he was diagnosed with autism several years ago.

Everything else in our lives pretty well shut down then, Kristy said. We pretty well lost sight of everything else.

In their case, the everything else included their health. The Duckworths weight slowly climbed, and high blood pressure came along with the weight gain.

We were about as unhealthy as you can get, Kristy said. We didnt want to burden our families if something should happen to us, and we wanted to be in good health for our kids.

Regaining control of their own health became a priority so that they could focus on taking care of themselves and their children, Andrew, and his sister, Mackenzie, 8.

We just decided to make a change it was a hard thing to do but we decided we were going do it, she said. They both had full time jobs in addition to family duties Kristy works in the education field while Alvan was an engineer.

The couple joined the Good Shepherd Institute of Healthy Living and set about participating in classes and boot camps.
