My struggle with my weight began at an early age. When I was 3 my father passed away from cancer and there were many changes in my family that left me nervous and turning to food for comfort. I also was afraid to try new things and therefore was inactive. My weight continued to climb and by 6th grade I weighed 160 lbs and was being ridiculed and teased on a daily basis. I had no confidence in myself and remember crying to my mom. At that point I started my first "diet". This would be the first of many. I remember restricting what I ate and turning down birthday cake at a friends party. By 7th grade I had lost 30 lbs.

Throughout middle school and high school I continued to yo-yo. In high school I dreaded my annual physical and refused to look at the scale during my weigh in. When I finally glanced at the doctors notes I saw the word "obese" written and 180 lbs. I was crushed.

My struggle continued throughout college. Alcohol and late night eating continued to affect my weight and I eventually reached 193 lbs. It wasn't until after college that I began to figure out what my body needed. I needed to be more active and eat healthier. I changed my lifestyle and over the next few years began to find a comfortable weight losing over 40 lbs.

I exercised sporadically and did not enjoy it. The elliptical was boring and running felt like torture! I would have a few good months and then take 6 months off. I maintained my loss, but still struggled daily.

After having kids I found myself stuck at 160 lbs for over 3 years. Nothing I was doing was getting that scale to budge and I did not feel good about where I was at. My husband got a copy of P90X from a friend and somehow I checked out the beachbody site and ordered TurboFire. I was hooked! I committed to the program and began drinking Shakeology daily and within 3 months I lost 12 lbs. This program has gotten me excited to get fit and more importantly stay fit.

I have now decided to become a coach because I believe in the products and this companies commitment to helping others. I am continuing my journey to get in the best shape of my life and would love to have you join me! Whether you need to lose weight, get fit, or would like to be part of my team of coaches inspiring and helping others while earning income I would love to hear from you!
