My Story
Hi! I'm Darcy! And, I like to consider myself a “Dream Giver”. A giver of health, happiness, joy and freedom in a body that is yearning leap out and dance and play and live out loud.
First interesting thing to know about me is, I lost 107 lbs and became a model.. and then a certified health & weight loss coach. As of 2019 I ditched everything I owned, bought an RV and hit the road indefinitely with my pug, Sassy, to travel the country to share health, happiness and hope through travel adventure!
I got my entire life out of losing all that weight. A got up off the sidelines of life from fantasizing and dreaming about all the things I wanted to do before I died and I am now doing what I call “Going On a Living Spree!”. But, I knew if I didn’t get that weight off the only thing that would continue to happen is I’d probably continue to gain weight and be more unhappy and be only a vouyer to what’s possible in life . So it has become my sole purpose in life now to help people live out their dreams by helping them to get back into a body they love.... and then showing by example how to go live their best live ever!
As you know, if this stuff were easy we'd all be thin and lean! But, the fact of the matter is, it can be a super challenging road to get the weight off and keep it off. So that’s why I’m here.. To not only help people lose weight and get their lives back but more importantly to help people have a lifetime transformation and maintain it…. AND HAVE FUN doing it! Honestly, losing the weight is the easy part…it’s the maintaining it that can be more difficult. But, you must know.. IT’S ABSOLUTELY DOABLE! And it doesn’t have to be drudgery, misery and painful. Are you ready to go on an adventure… and PLAY?!
I lost 107lbs and have kept the weight off . But, the very best thing of all that came out of losing the weight was, and still is, that I became HAPPY AGAIN! I feel so FREEEEE! I feel free to play.... to dance.... to run and jump. I feel beautiful and confident. I feel secure and proud of who I’ve become. And now I feel like after all those years of feeling trapped inside a body I was disgusted with that I LIVE OUT LOUD... UNAPOLOGETICALLY! And that is what I want for YOU!!!
There is nothing I want more than for others to feel happy and free again in their lives! Our time on this planet is so short... and we don't want to waste another minute missing out on this beautiful life stuck in guilt, shame, anger, embarrassment, hiding, playing small.... whatever it is for you. You were born to BE HAPPY... you were born to LIVE YOUR LIFE and create some amazing memories along the way!
In April 2015 I began my weight loss adventure and by April 2016 I lost 100lbs. I have maintained my weight (+/- 5 -10 lbs from my lowest) ever since then. I started at 277 pounds and a size 22/24. I am currently a size 8/10 and I am 5'7".
I was just like most people who struggle with their weight. I had tried every diet, fad, "trick"... I'd lose a few pounds and then gain it back (and then some). And don’t even mention the word “exercise” to me! (funny story because I was recently a spokesmodel for Orange Theory Fitness™). I had suffered terribly with body images issues since about the age of 16. As I approached my 40's I really began packing the weight on. I found myself sitting on the sidelines of life. I avoided the mirror, pictures and trying clothes on. I even avoided social situations with my then husband because I was afraid his friends would poke fun at him for having a near 300lb wife.
The truth is .... there are many programs and protocols out there. All of which will help you lose the weight. It's kind of like religions. There are all kinds of different religions and most all of them help people get to the same point of light. There are just variations that appeal to different people. BUT, the program I am a health coach for is what most appeals to me and what I most believe in because I’ve seen the most success and long term success with it. And I am also living proof of it as well.
So.. whatever program or protocol you’re on (or not on) I’m on a mission to help. ***Please know that I am not a nutritionist, a health care practitioner or dietician*** BUT, what I am is a motivator and encourager and someone who sees you greater than you might be able to see yourself right now. I am someone who has walked this road before you and I’m going to help pull you up and over the mountain!
And if you are looking for a program and want personal one-on-one coaching with me then you can can get more info here: I’d LOVE to help you!!
Here’s to getting your body back and living a life you love - Now, “Pass on dat!” … or should I say, now,“Pass dat on!” :-)
