A little bit about me: I am not a nutritionist, not a dietician, and not a fitness expert. I am an however just an ordinary woman who has struggled with weight and body image issues for 30 years. In early 2013 I found myself at the highest and the lowest points of my life. I am a wife, mother and had recently become a grandmother. I have a wonderful life filled with much love and happiness, coupled with a host of family and friends and a career I love. I couldn’t ask for more. However I was miserable within my own skin. I was the heaviest I have ever been in my life. Nothing in my closet fit and I refused to have to go up another size-yet again. And to top it all off I was about to turn 50. That number was eating me alive. I found Lori Stuart and her Fit-fabulous page on FB. I started following her and doing her monthly challenges. She inspired me and motivated me and made me believe that maybe I too could achieve my goals. I have been a yo-yo dieter my entire adult life. I have wasted thousands of dollars on every pill, shake, powder, boxed food, liquid plan, book or fitness gimmick put out on the market. The advertisers saw me coming a mile away. I was their sucker. Some worked for a short period while others were just a joke. I wanted to finally - for once- lose the weight in a healthy way and to tone and make my body the healthiest it could be. Lori gave me hope that this was actually do-able. So in July of last summer I took the leap of faith to join her new T-25 group that was about to start. I will not lie- I almost quit 10 days in. My accountability sisters helped me through the rough spots and motivated and supported me. In them I found true friendship and guidance. Along the path of this journey I begin to grow, in ways I never expected. I have learned that I can control my destiny and I can take charge of my health. Life for me began again. To the present date (April 2014) I have lost 28 lbs and over 40+ inches. I am not at my goal weight but I am on the right path. I joined Beachbody because I want to help others who may be exactly where I was a year ago. Know that you can achieve heath and well being. And I am here to help you.
