Aloha, Cherisse is my name and fitness will never be the same!!! Welcome to my Beachbody website, the START to where YOU can make your dreams come true.

I am a 22 year old Maui Girl, who strives to better myself in every aspect of life and loves to help others do the same.

Growing up I was never satisfied with the person staring back at me in the reflection, I was always this young girl with these nice big squeezable cheeks. I was very self conscious with how I looked.

At age 12 my body was changing, I started to put on some weight, and my height wasn't catching up. I was going through a different phase in life, but at that time all I could see was my body getting fat. I played sports though out my life but had know knowledge of what "HEALTHY" really meant. I live in Hawaii where plates are mountains of food, and you can't leave the table until your plate is clean. Not too mention with busy parents, fast food and late dinners were a usual thing.

At the age of 14, I developed an eating disorder. I thought very low of myself and had push myself into bulimia. It started off slow, and then took over. It came to a point where I was starting to become anorexic, and could starve myself for days. The scale was my drug, got a high when my weight was low, and a down when my weight was rising. I continued to destroy my body until I realized I wasn't doing anything good for my body. At age 16 I had weened myself off the disorder.

For years I was able to remain at a size that I was comfortable with. Until I was about 19 years old my body was going through another change, and this time I did it the right way, I joined a gym.

Joining the gym has definately changed my life, not only was I able to master different workouts (turbo kickboxing, zumba, boot camp, yoga, pilates, and insanity), I learned about healthy eating habits and a great tasting meal replacer called Shakeology, I learned that "IT'S NOT WHAT THE SCALE SAYS IT'S WHAT YOUR CLOTHES SAY!", and I met life long friends who are striving to reach their goals, and encouraging others to do the same.

But most of all I want to teach the youth about how to maintain a healthy life style and make good choices for themselves and their body. An Eating disorder is not the way to go!!!!
