I grew up in the Bahamas where I was always a loner. Made fun of because I was always bigger than the other kids. But I just didn't know I was unhealthy. I stopped eating in front of anyone.

I grew up in the Bahamas where I was always a loner. Made fun of because I was always bigger than the other kids. But I just didn't know I was unhealthy. I stopped eating in front of anyone. I only ate at night thinking that was healthy. I just DIDN'T KNOW! My grandmother, sister, and mom are little women and I was always the odd man out. When I moved to the United States in 2004, I still had no clue that I was unhealthy. I didn't understand. Until one day, I looked in the mirror and knew enough was enough, I didn't want to be one of the biggest girls in my class anymore. My goal in 2007, my junior year of high school was to be as small as my mom and grandmom, and fit her clothes (I can fit their clothes now, at least mom's and grandmoms my baby sisters clothes is still a dream, but she's a 0 sooooo!.) My first program was Turbo Jam, I loved it! My good friend Stephan Rowe a beach body coach, and a few members of my bible class provided inspiration enough that I wanted P90X but I was chicken and went for Turbo Jam. I loved it, I loved Chalene. I changed my diet in the beginning of 2008 and bought P90X, talk about EXTREME! I lost 33 pounds in total, and was in the best shape of my life. From 186 to 153! I went on summer break and totally fell off this year, but I'm doing insanity now and have begun to see the results. I'm going into my eight week. I'm putting the work in and this time it's for good. I've lost 11 of the 11 pounds I gained from the loong break this past summer. I'm now 156, and going for 10 more. I have Chalene Extreme, Turbo Jam, P90X and Insanity in my beach body collection and I think it's safe to say I love these programs, I'm a beach body girl and will make it my business to be a good example of the company that saved my life, I was on a fast track to diabetes but thanks to some big helpers I've found the way. Lets change our lives together, it only takes a step at a time. Let's make history!
