- She's been on the show back in the old days
- Buy old shows for just a couple bucks a month to hear her on with Anna and Vinnie!
- Katy is a bilateral above-the-knee amputee
- Actually, it is congenital
- A US Paralympic athlete, Katy is an amazing runner
- Ran in a few track events and did incredibly well
- Had a couple pounds to lose to improve her performance
- She was already exercising so much (multiple times a day) -- instructed to eat incorrectly by a nutritionist
- After London, she retired and was not exercising NEARLY as much
as she was
- It was just a lifestyle change that truly helped her succeed
- NSNG was the answer
- The weight she needed to lose before came RIGHT off, despite the lack of exercise
- Dropping carbs felt effortless, and so Katy reached out and found Vinnie
- Now, Katy primarily swims for exercise
- She pounded down her body when training for the paralympics
- The impact was tough on her back, so swimming is low impact and great!
- Also a big hand-cycler and into body weight resistance
