All my life weight has been a rollercoaster. It seems like with each phase of my life, my weight changes. I was an overweight child up until high school. During high school, I was able to shed the "baby fat" and became extremely athletic with cheerleading and dance.

Within the next 5 years I lost my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. The combination of my metabolism slowing due to age and the tragedies I experienced, I found food as comfort.

Gradually, I gained about 25 pounds...which on a 5'3" body is a good bit.

Last Christmas (2009) I saw a picture of myself and couldn't believe my eyes. Yes, I knew that I was having to buy bigger clothing, but I thought that this was just because I was getting older. When I saw the picture of myself, I knew it was time to do something.

We had already purchased P90X the previous year, so I decided to get it out and start. I did it one day and was happy. So, I did it the next day and was proud I could stick with something for 2 days. I ended up finishing the program 88 days later and I was even more proud.

At that point, my husband bought me ChaLean Extreme...and that's when I truly fell in love with fitness. I found results with P90X, but ChaLean was just better suited for me, personally. I had been doing ChaLean from March 2010-December 2010. I am now beginning TurboFire...which I am already loving!

When I started working out, I was 156 pounds and I am now 136. I intend to lose about 10 more pounds, however, I am happy just to be healthy and back into my size 6 jeans!
