My name is Barbara ( my husband calls me Lucy, always has, always will), I'm a
nurse on Cape Cod. Great in the Summer time, dead in
the winter! Anyways, I have had a weight problem for 28 years, ( thats how
old my one and only child is) not his fault, mine! I have tried many diets but
have never exercised.

old my one and only child is) not his fault, mine! I have tried many diets but
have never exercised.
Over the years I have fallen into several bad habits, I love to eat, smoke and
certainly not exercise. At my highest I was 214lbs. I weighted more than my
husband!
Last year it became apparent that I needed to quit smoking, ( I actually
couldnt walk up a flight of stairs without stopping an panting for 5-10
minutes. ) I quit smoking after a 36 year run, it was the hardest thing I've ever
done! For christmas I asked my husband for the slim in 6 program I saw on
an informercial. He chuckled and said I would'nt do it, ( the way I did'nt quit
smoking about 15-20 times I told him I would over the past 8 years). We
went away after christmas and when we got back I quit smoking. I waited
about 2 months before I started to exercise. After that theres been no
stopping me! I completed the slim in 6 program and from getting on beach
body I found out about
Turbo Jam! I can only say thank you, thank you, thank you, Chalene!!!!!
Although I have not had a big weight loss, I have lost a total of 16 inches.
In the meantime I have had some medical problems ( not related to exercise)
and have been seeing an MD. My diet has been drastically changed and I am
now hoping that I will start to see some dramatic changes.
I have a great life and family, I just hope I can get this issue in my life under
control and start to feel better!
