</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[Du Quoin resident, Debby Worthington, has a lot to be proud of. She recently hit 100 pounds lost and the staff at Doc Z's Fitness threw a surprise party to celebrate.

"Debby's a very disciplined individual and a lot of fun to have at the gym", said owner Dr. Richard Zimmerman.

When asked how she got started, Debby said,"you just have to make the decision and do it. I lost a friend a little over a year ago and I promised him the last time I saw him that I would take better care of myself."

Debby's friend Barry died from kidney cancer and he blamed his situation on sugar intake.

Debby went on to say, "I completely cut out sugar and started working out six days a week.

Then Doc Z's group fitness launched in January and I started taking yoga and spinning. Listen, if I can do it, anyone can do it. I feel better at 51 than ever before in my life."
