I gained 61-lbs. during my pregnancy and was already overweight when I got pregnant. After giving birth everything was out of wack. My thyroid levels were messed up, my metabolism was like a snail and then I went through post-partum depression. I tried so many things to lose weight and get in shape. I tried meal delivery plans, I went to meetings and I actually lost about 25-30lbs. Then I absolutely hit a stand still. It didn't matter how I changed my eating habits or how I exercised. Nothing changed.

With no change for my efforts, the post-partum depression and my marriage in jeopardy I just gave up on working on myself. I just focused on taking care of my new baby and that's what got me through each day. I actually lived for naptime and bedtime. When she went to sleep, I went to sleep. I gained back all the weight I lost plus an extra 10-lbs. I was so devastated and embarrassed for people to see me. I did not like going out in public at all. I had no energy to try to better myself.

I thought I was doing a good job at faking everything being okay until a good friend of mine said, "Michelle, you look miserable. You aren't the Michelle we used to know." Hearing that was like someone threw ice cold water on me. It woke me up and I realized I had lost myself completely.

I found myself for a short time during a 4 month separation from my husband and lost 40-lbs in 12 weeks by eating right, writing down what I ate and exercising, mostly going for walks with my daughter and riding my exercise bike. Didn't step a foot in the gym.

Then I went back home to try to make things work in my marriage and gained almost half of the weight back that I had worked so hard to lose. I was so mad at myself and for a short time, a VERY short time (about 1 week) I started to think, "Why try if I'm just going to end up fat again?" I felt myself falling back into the ditch I had climbed out of. So again, I am separated and now my main focus is my relationship with my First Love, Jesus Christ. Second is two things and that is being physically healthy as well as spiritually healthy and being a great mommy to my daughter. I discovered ChaLEAN Extreme and am loving EVERY bit of it! GO HEAVY OR GO HOME!! Rock on!

God is still working on me! So awesome that we have such a great Heavenly Father that doesn't give up on us! My hope is in Him, so I know He will work a miracle in my life as well as my weight loss :o)!! Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
