“My name is Kevin Lawler. I’m a 40 year old with a wife and three kids. I have the privilege of serving the residents of Kootenai County as a Firefighter Paramedic. In my professional life I have an obligation to be physically, emotionally, and mentally fit.

I’ve battled with weight most of my life due to an unhealthy relationship with food. I was always good at dropping the weight, either through a restrictive diet or a massive calorie deficit, but I was even better at putting the weight back on plus some.

After trying every diet out there I thought maybe I’ll try something different. About 8 months ago I came to AIM hoping for a program where they would help me lose the 50lbs and I would be on my merry way.

Fortunately for me that’s not really the way it works. Over these 8 months Amy has really helped define my relationship with food and taught me how to properly fuel my body.

I’ve quickly realized it’s not a diet but a lifestyle! I have a long way to go, but I have now been equipped with the tools to get there!”
