My name is Allison and live on the South Shore of MA. I am 30 years old, married to a USAF vet and have 2 young daughters. I have always had weight issues for as long as I can remember. While in high school, I was pretty active with dancing but that stopped as soon as I entered college. Every year after that, it just seemed like I was adding a few more additional pounds and buying slightly larger clothes. When I got pregnant with my first daughter in 2007 I was about 210 lbs and in a size 16. I gained about 40lbs with that pregnancy! After her birth, although I lost most of the pregnancy weight at first, I wasn't taking care of myself nor watching what I ate. I quickly gained back that "pregnancy weight" although, I wasn't pregnant. When my 1st daughter was about 12 months old we got pregnant again. By the end of my 9th month I was just under 300lbs. It was mortifying to weigh in at my Doctor's office. After the birth of my 2nd daughter, I had to do something! I couldn't stand myself any longer. My relationship with my husband was being affected, because I just didn't like ME.
So on Halloween of 2009 I made a decision, I started my weight loss journey at 253 lbs and a size 20. I followed a popular low glycemic index diet and have done well over the last year. I lost 73 lbs.(as of Sept 2010). I am now 181.5 and a size 10!
I started exercising regularly when I hit 200lbs in May 2010. I started slowly with TurboJam and then moved on to ChaLean Extreme. I just finished that up and have moved on to TurboFire. I cannot even believe the results I have seen incorporating these workouts into my life. I love the way I feel, the way I look, that high I get after working out. I am still about 28 lbs away to my "dream weight" but the lifestyle change that I have made I know I am making myself healthy no matter what.
