I am a wife and mother of a 5 year old son.I am also a business owner and a student at University of Phoenix for my Associate of arts in healthcare administration and a certification in fitness training.

My story began as a kid in second grade, I was always the "chubby cute girl"
in class….

I have been struggling with my weight all my life since age 9. I come
from a family of overweight but beautiful women and was told that it is
hereditary, when I was in high school I became fed up with my weight
because I would hide my body in extra large expensive clothes so I wouldn’t
be made fun of by boys. I struggled with keeping up with the dance moves
in marching band because I was out of shape and never worked out before.
So I starve myself and lose weight but I would binge and gain it back and
more and more I did this for years through out my twenties. My grandmother
told me on her death bed that she wanted me and my sister to lose weight
because she didn’t want us to suffer from diabetes, lose a kidney and
eventually die from heart disease like she was going through, so I tried fad
diet after fad diet to lose weight because of what she said in my heart. In
2005 I got fed up with fad diets and I wanted a child but I knew it was
unhealthy for a person that was 250ibs to be having a baby so with the
support of my husband I lost 60ibs and decided to have a baby. After I had
a C-section and healed from having my beautiful boy Jayden I got really
depressed with myself and I decided to be a stay at home mom to be with
Jayden. But I continued to gain weight and was sedentary, I put everyone
else’s needs before mine and avoiding the fact that I was obese, I tried on
some jeans at a large women clothing store and they were to tight at that
point, I realized how big I have gotten. I got turbo jam, working out with
Chalene and working out with my friends at the YMCA. I also love swimming
and water aerobics. Now I am doing this the
right way and I am able to keep up with my five year old, it is important for
me to be healthy so I can see him grow up. I am a success story in the
making and I know this time I will do this and keep it off because I am
learning good eating habits and eating balance meals with Shakeology, together they are a powerful system for me. So look for my
progress months to come , my goal is to be a coach and help others so you
will continue to see me around. I love all my buddies and thank you for
working out with me!
