I remember my mom use to make this HUGE hamburger for my snack at school and I use to eat the entire thing, then when I got home I use to sometimes eat 2 plates of food just because i liked it so much. Soon enough I was a 165 lbs.@ 15 yrs old. I have always been in my ups and down around 160-175 lbs. When I moved from Puerto Rico to CT my life style changed I have always been kinda big... I remember my mom use to make this HUGE hamburger for my snack at school and I use to eat the entire thing, then when I got home I use to sometimes eat 2 plates of food just because i liked it so much. Soon enough I was a 165 lbs.@ 15 yrs old. I have always been in my ups and down around 160-175 lbs. When I moved from Puerto Rico to CT my life style changed drasctically and i started gaining weight (198 lbs.) so i went to the doctor and he gave me some prescription pills and i lost about 40 lbs., about 1 yr later i got pregnant of my Daughter Caitlyn (7 yrs ago) and I went up to 235 lbs., with a little exercise and eating more greens i lost about 30 lbs. so i stayed in about 200lbs. but still depressed because of the weight. About a year later i got pregnant with my Son Jaden (5yr ago) I didn't gain much weight but i did had gestational diabebtes, and my diet was very strict so i only gained about 25 lbs, but after my second C-section I didn't commit to lose the weight, instead i just got more frustated and depressed, so i just decided to buy myself bigger clothes, and now i started buying jeans size 22 because my belly was so big the size 20 were killing me. A few years ago i seen the infomercial for Turbo Jam, bought it, received it, looked at it and put it back in the box and into the shelf with the rest of my exercise videos.
In (January 2008) I was so tired of feeling sorry for myself, I was tired all the time i couldn't even play with my kids. I went to Puerto Rico for a week on vacations and my sister took some pictures of me at the beach, when i seen those pictures I couldn't believe that was me, and one day my daughter asked me " Mami I thought you wanted to be skinny like me, what happened?" and I felt so bad.
I remember the Doctor told me after I had my Son, that since i had gestational diabetes if i didn't lose the weight and exercise, I now have a 60% chance of getting diabetes, and i'm really afraid of that. So i been trying to find a new lifestyle, more active and with better food choices.
I dusted off my Turbo Jam and the Power 90 videos on January 19th, 2008 and i said to myself I will "Press Play" everyday even when i feel depressed and tired, because working nights and having sleep apnea (sleeping with a breathing mask) is not an easy task, but i know if i do this I will feel better, and everyone else around me will do too.
In February 2008 my doctor put me on two daily pills because I have my Triglycerides too high and I am Pre-diabetic.
So after all this ... In July 2008 I got the Realize band on my stomach and so far (February 2009) I have lost 44 lbs. but i have hit a plateau, and the doctor recommended to introduce some kind exercise into my lifestyle if I wanted to reach my goal of 160 Lbs.
So Here i am again.
March 10th started Chalean Extreme... is awesome i love it!!!

When i decided to Start exercising I was frustrated because everyone (I mean EVERYONE) was asking me if I was pregnant again (I was just fat at 242 lbs). So i was thinking about having a surgical procedure called Lap-Band done. But then I would have to eat about 4oz. of food at a time and no more than that for the rest of my life, and I Still had to exercise so i decided to go ahead and start the exercise part.
In Jan. 19th 2008 I started my 20 min Turbo Jam videos and the Abs Jam. the first few days I was so stiff I couldn't walk up the stairs but i kept going, I kept coming to the bulleting boards looking for inspiration and I seen all this people that had lost 40,50,60 pounds in 5 to 6 months so i said to myself "I can do it too"
Now in february 2009, 6 months after having the Realize band on my stomach, I have lost 44 lbs. but in the past few months i noticed my weight lost had stopped, so i talked to my doctor and he recommended to exercise, so I got my DVD's out of the closet and started to Push Play again.
I'll you posted of my changes...
