IVE NOW KEPT THE WEIGHT OFF CONSISTENTLY FOR 5 YEARS, AND NEVER PLAN TO PUT IT BACK ON!!!!

Hi! I'm Traci. I am 25 years old, and, as of january this year, live in Portland Oregon...and NOW, thanks to Million Dollar Body, I can actually enjoy Portland summers...in a bikini! :)
I grew up an active, energetic kid--I was always involved in sports and various activities. I was a good Christian girl with dreams and goals and a good head on my shoulders.
Then college hit...and it hit HARD. I started living in an unhealthy way. I started walking away from my faith and started disrespecting my body in several ways; binge drinking, lack of exercise, eating unhealthy, and unusual sleep patterns were a part of my life. My self confidence was at an all time low, and I didn't see any way out.
Then one day, I was driving and praying and I felt called to transfer to a private, Christian college so I could regroup and rebuild my life. Then, my aunt, Traci Morrow, called me and wanted me to try out this new workout program called Power 90. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I agreed to try the work out with her and Tony Horton. I was hooked. I started reading about nutrition and exercise, and I took my life back.
When I came across Power 90, I was 20 years old and 160lbs. Today, I am 25 and weigh 130lbs. I am a nationally certified Personal Trainer (ACSM & 24Hr Fitness). I look at myself in pictures and I don't want to cry anymore. I get dressed and like what I see in the mirror. I am confident and energetic again. I feel worthy of respect and love because I'm now able to respect and love myself.
Being in shape has given me the confidence and strength to explore other loves--particularly traveling and seeing other cultures! Since my transformation, I have backpacked through Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. I have spent time working in an orphanage in Uganda. I have made my way through the UK meeting people from all over the world. I have adventured in Turkey and this year, trekked the Anapurna circuit in Nepal with a friend for a month! I never could have imagined this sort of life before I got healthy--inside and out!
I am passionate about health and fitness because of the way it has changed my life.
AND as of June 11, 2010, I married the love of my life and our favorite thing to do together is go hiking in the mountains. We want to life long, happy lives together!
