I've always been overweight. I grew up in a family that loved food. My mother is big and so is my father. When I got to high school...I felt so awkward. I was 180 lbs, 5'7" and in the 9th grade. I felt very much like a blimp because the weight was mostly fat. I signed up for dance classes and started doing The Firm workouts. I lost 20 lbs and was at my lifetime low of 160 lbs and a size 11. Now I'm 20 years old and instead of the legendary Freshman 15...I gained a Freshman 50! I was 220 lbs...I was miserable. Then I discovered Yoga Booty Ballet. In 3 months I lost 25 lbs! I was ecstatic! Then I reached a plateau and switched to Turbo Jam. I was 205 lbs...stopped working out and needed a confidence boost. So I made up my mind...back to Turbo Jam!! I worked out consistently for a few months but it was easy for me to get off track. I deal with clinical depression. Today, 3/28/2010, I weigh 245 lbs a new record high for me. I'm starting Yoga Booty Ballet again tomorrow. The road will be rough but I pray this time that I'll get healthy and have the courage to work to stay that way.
