I was the Queen of Junk Food while riding the diet rollercoaster for years! I went from a size 8/10 up to a size 24 and back down to every size in between depending on what was going on in my life! In 1993, I gained 73 pounds to tip the scale at 238 pounds during my only pregnancy. After being totally stressed out and yo-yo dieting for the next few years, I found a formula for weight loss success! I finally stopped dieting and started living well by eating for good health and getting active to better manage my stress and I shed those extra pounds. It took me almost 36 months to lose the weight, and I was able to keep it off for 10 years. That is until 2008/2009!

Following a series of overwhelmingly stressful life events in 2008-09, my weight ballooned to 207 lbs and I was wearing a really tight size 16 in February 2009. I pulled out my "baby weight" photo that captured my incredibly uncomfortable life at size 24 and that was the reality check I needed to get back to being active to get my stress & emotional eating under control again.

I readily admit that my weight fluctuates based on how well I manage my stress load & balance everything in my life. I started doing my favorite Beachbody workouts everyday including Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, Slim in 6, and the Slim Series and everything else just became easier-from making better food & snack choices, to drinking water, to supplementing with vitamins, calcium, & protein to finding ways to boost my metabolism. There is no doubt it's working, because I just keep getting slimmer and slimmer and maintaining my weight loss! By late June of 2009, I had lost about 30 pounds was down to a size 12 and I am still losing!

Yes, I am back on track & living well again! I’m now working out with Beachbody programs plus other fitness activities like walking, dancing, aerobics, & strength training. I'm also eating for good health, drinking Shakeology everyday, dressing for weight loss success, coaching others, and supporting my team of coaches all while creating the life of my dreams.

I set a personal goal to be a healthy, 45 year old hottie in 2010, and I am well on my way to achieving that. I draw inspiration from my desire to help others & lead by example and to always be there for my loved ones, and that motivates me to never, ever again allow myself to ever get comfortable at any size above a size 8/10.
