EDIT 10/25/2010: I have reduced my BF% by 7% in one month, from February to March. I am now doing a P90X/TURBOFIRE HYBRID. Want in? Email me! I answer everyone!

I am close to my goal of attaining 14%BF! If I can do it, you can do it...let me coach you for FREE!

My 'office' hours are M-F 10am-7pm EST. If I don't get back to you right away, I will the same day!

I'm a 40-years-young marketing professional and health and fitness enthusiast. I'm proof positive that it is possible to make lasting, positive life changes through health and fitness.

Like so many people, I've had my challenges in life and I've fallen off the wagon..but now I'm back in the saddle for good!

Early in life I was always into sports - I played tennis at the elite level in high school, college and beyond. I thought at one point that I might go pro, but life intervened - school and marriage derailed my plans.

Shortly after getting married in 2001, all my healthy habits went out the window. My new friends and other people in my life didn't share my passion for an active lifestyle and so I stopped doing my daily exercise, including the game of tennis which I loved. 5 years later and 60 pounds heavier, I was at rock bottom. My marriage was headed for divorce, and I was the heaviest I'd ever been and sadly out of shape.

Fat, sad and depressed, I had a hard time finding myself again. I was put on antidepressants. I still wasn't active and I didn't care what I put into my mouth. And, like most women, whatever I ate went straight to my hips. I guess sometimes you've got nowhere to go but up.

In late 2007, just for fun, I got on the scale. I'll never know what made me get on the scale that day, but it was the right time because I weighed in at over 180 pounds. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I decided then and there that it was time to make a change - and take my life back!

I purged my kitchen of anything unhealthy, including soda. I finally kicked the 3-soda-a-day habit that was slowly killing me. I'm a chocolate monster, and finally got that habit under control, too. I slowly made other lifestyle changes, like eating more fruits and vegetables and eating only when I was hungry. I started going to the gym and taking spin classes twice a week.

It worked! I dropped 60 pounds all on my own, through simple diet and exercise. I started playing tennis again. I was consistent and determined. The next time I stepped on the scale, I was a healthy 125 pounds. I was ecstactic! But I relaxed - and my weight slowly crept up to the 135 pound mark. Not too bad..but not what I wanted either.

I would soon find out that life had more surprises in store for me. In the summer of 2008, I would move to Atlanta, Georgia. Happy that I would be with my family for the first time in over 6 years, I happily took every opportunity to eat that down home southern food that I missed! The weight slowly crept up, and I hit a high of 160 pounds.

That's when I saw an infomercial for P90X one night. I'd seen the commercials before but had never really seriously considered it. It made sense to me - no gadgets, just hard honest work and good nutrition. I ordered it, thinking that I would return it because it would be just one more system that didn't live up to it's promises.

Boy, was I wrong! Ordering P90X was the best thing I ever did. The system got me in shape, I lost 10 pounds and I felt great. I could see the muscles in my arms and back for the first time in years! There were times that it was tough and I wanted to quit. But like Tony says, I just kept showing up and kept pushing play.

Getting involved with Beachbody has been just the most positive thing for me. Since then, I've done Insanity and RevAbs - and I used Shakeology religiously, losing another 10 pounds along the way. UPDATE! I completed my 2nd round of Insanity, have done ChaLean Extreme and am now doing a TurboFire/ChaLean Extreme Hyrbird! I feel better than ever!!!The programs work IF you are consistent with the workouts and practice good nutrition habits.

I now have a new goal - to get my bodyfat to 12%-14%. I'm committed to it and I won't let anything stop me! I'm finally the person that I want to be, inside and out.

In 2010 also became a Beachbody Coach and have been successful, now reaching ONE STAR DIAMOND RANK! I can now help other people improve their overall health and reach their fitness goals - and I can't tell you how great that feels!

You can follow my transformation on Facebook - I'm on there all the time! I'll also be launching a website very soon.

As a result of being involved with Beachbody, this year I am purusing my Personal Trainer and Nutrition certifications.

If I can do it, so can you!! Just keep showing up - and keep pushing play!!
